Overview

This day trip runs from downtown Vancouver into the Fraser Valley wine region, with a local guide driving a group of no more than 14 travellers in an air-conditioned van or minibus. You meet at 901 W Cordova Street, directly across from the Lions Pub, and return to the same spot roughly five and a half hours later. Three winery stops are built into the route, and the listing names Gate 22 Winery, Township 7 Vineyards in South Langley, and Backyard Vineyards, each with admission included.

Tastings are included at each stop, along with a light lunch. Several travellers describe that lunch as a charcuterie board with cheeses, meats, jams and crackers, served at one of the wineries rather than at a restaurant. Reviewers generally praise the guides as friendly and knowledgeable, and one reviewer said the small group size meant everyone was friends by the end.

The tour suits visitors who want to taste BC wine without arranging a designated driver, and anyone curious about the region. It runs in all weather, is wheelchair accessible, and requires a moderate level of fitness. The legal drinking age in British Columbia is 19, and a vegetarian option is available if requested at booking.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you set expectations before booking this one.

Tastings, not vineyard walks. One reviewer was surprised there was no walk through the fields or cellars. Go for the tasting format rather than a deep dive into viticulture.
Food and drink. Wine tasting and a light lunch are included. Multiple reviewers describe the lunch as a charcuterie board with meats, cheeses, jam and crackers, and one group said the winery served them vegetarian cheese and cracker plates on the spot. Gratuities are not included.
Getting there. The listing does not state hotel pickup, and custom hotel pickup and drop-off are listed as not included. The meeting point is 901 W Cordova Street, across from the Lions Pub, which one reviewer described as perfect for those staying downtown. Check the live booking page for the current arrangement.
Weather and footwear. The tour operates in all weather conditions, so dress appropriately. Closed toe shoes are required for behind the scenes parts of the tour. One reviewer who went in December found it enjoyable even with the vines dormant.
Group feel. The maximum group size is 14 travellers, and one reviewer said the small group made the tour sociable, with everyone friends by the end. Groups as small as four or six have been reported in reviews.
Pace and transfers. A moderate physical fitness level is recommended. One reviewer noted the wineries are spread out with long drives between them, so expect time in the van between tastings rather than continuous activity.

Common issues. The wineries sit some distance apart, and one reviewer found the drives between stops longer than expected. The experience needs a minimum number of travellers to run; if that minimum is not met it may be cancelled, in which case a different date or a full refund is offered. Gratuities and custom hotel pickup and drop-off are not included.
