Langley’s Chaberton Estate Winery

Opened in 1991, Chaberton Estate Winery in Langley produces a variety of local wine. All wine created there is 100% BC VQA and made from grapes sourced from wine regions within BC. Grapes in Chaberton Estate wines come from either the Fraser Valley, Okanagan-Similkameen or the Okanagan Valley (or a combination of the three).

Folk can choose from a selection of red, white, rosé and dessert wines. In total there are around 30 wine offerings. Prices range from $14.95 for a bottle of house blend Chaberton White, up to $69.95 for a bottle of 2019 AC Okanagan Valley.

The place offers public wine tours from April to October. The guided tours go behind-the-scenes in the winery, vineyard and barrel room, and can include tastings of select wines. They take place at 1:00 pm daily, weather permitting.

There is also the Tasting Room which is open year-round. It can be experienced either as walk-ins or with reservations. Walk-in tastings cost $10 per person and include samples of four different wines. Private tastings cost $15 each and include a staff member who goes over each wine in depth while they pour it.
