East of Vancouver is a prime wine growing region (Langley). Langley Township is made up of farmland, modern and traditional homesteads. This region is home to nearly half of the province’s agricultural activity, including nearly 30 vineyards and 15 wineries. These wineries are committed to producing some of Canada’s finest wines; our preferred venues are small, high-quality, family-run operations. The ideal location for escaping city life and enjoying some fine wine.
Lawrence Tours’ half-day winery tour of British Columbia’s Fraser/Campbell Valley includes downtown Vancouver hotel pickup at 10 a.m. and accommodates individuals and groups of up to 11 people.
