    If you think you know Mead - you gotta try this place. The…read moreowners are amazing and the offerings are amazing. You will truly love this stuff to compliment any collection you may have. Highly rated!

    We stumbled upon this place when the GPS took us on the wrong route to Chaberton Winery and lost…read moreour way. We decided to stop here when backtracking to Chaberton as it was on the way. Unfortunately the tasting of 6 different flavored mead made us a bit too woozy to go across to Township 7 vineyards for more wine tasting. Luckily there's a traveling tea shop on the lawn where we could sober up with some high tea food or sandwiches or charcuterie board. I never realized there are quite a fair bit of wineries in the Langley/Abbotsford area. You don't really need to go far to kelowna if you're short on time. We also saw horses out here. Too cute. And really a wonderful way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. This place specializes in mead. You can be a club member and there are special meads for members. They do a tasting for $10 which is waived with purchase of a bottle ($26). I love how the staff will tell a story or origins of the name for their different meads. Dry mead -- the original. I tend towards sweeter alcohol and I'm surprised I could drink this. Not overly sweet. It is light and crisp with a bit of bubbly (not fizzy) to me. Very refreshing. Ginger mead -- I like ginger but not in this mead. A bit herbal to me. Lavender mead -- it's the prettiest with the violet hue. It smells of lavender but the taste sticks for the longest time for me. Cranberry mead -- a light orange pink color. It's very tart. Vinum Regum -- 2 versions, we tried the reserved one which is aged for 90 days in oak barrel so it has a Smokey flavor like whiskey. It's really strong for me. Lvna (Luna) -- mulled mead which has winter spices like mulled wine. This is the sweetest. Very nice. They have other fruity flavors like pear. Lovely staff and definitely come here if you want some uncommon flavored mead.

    Blackwood Lane was our last winery tour stop and it was a good experience. We were the only people…read morethere and the lady assisting us was very pleasant and explained all the wines well. They have a few different tasting options and I opted for the lower end as I was uninterested in what they considered their high experience. It had a couple more red wine additions and honestly red wine isn't my favorite. The property was nice except for clear cutting of trees in the back which made me wonder what will happen in the future since the embankment is at a slope and since nothing will grow for months combined with frequent rain it seems like setting up for landslide conditions. That didn't make much sense to me. The vehicle outfitted in front for "zombies" seemed to attract the most attention, more than their wines. It was cool but also a bit out of place.

    A trip around the Langley area brought me to this hidden gem of a winery that when I return again,…read moreI will be doing some more damage in regards to my wallet for coming into this wine haven! Driving around, and not having much luck with my tastebuds and the wines around Langley I was all about to just settle for the rest of what near the border can offer, and another sign saying "wineries" made me turn into a place that I wil gladly return anytime and make the effort. I have been to many wineries, forget for a second just based on Langley, I'm talking other places like Oregon, Napa, even Niagara, and when you come into Blackwood, just the showroom itself feels professional, it feels right. From the nice bar seatings to the layout, it is a different feel compared to what is around this area for places like this. When you drive into this place there is a green and red light, as you have to drive up hill, one lane to the parking and you get a great view from atop this hill of the valley. After you have been awed by the scenery outside, you enter this place, and the first thing you see on the wall are clippings of Carlos, the president and owner of this winery, and his talks about making good wine, and what good wine should be. After my day trip here this day, my tongue was a bit skeptical on what I would be tasting and here is where you just fall head over heels on this wine. Carlos, the man in the paper clippings, is here, and he tells you abit about himself, the history of drinking good wine, and going through the days of bad cheap wine in his university life. Also, there are free tastings, of a few of the wines, which are excellent, then you get to the paid one, which he starts you off light, and ends you off with the merlot (which was talked about in the papers clippings). I have tried many, and this one blew me away, with some of his other wines. Once I had my first sip I quickly requested a bottle to purchase. If you end up buying any bottle here, the tasting fee is waved, and you may think that for BC it is only the Okanagan that has great wines, this one is one of those hidden gems! It is not cheap, but you are paying for quality, and also when you listen to Carlos, you know where he is coming from on wines. The place also is not your average winery in Langley. They also sell spreads as well from the grapes they use. Mark it on your list the next time you are out in this neck of the woods!
