Located in Langley Township the heart of the Fraser Valley, a short distance from Vancouver and the city of Langley. Chaberton is the oldest winery and the most popular in the Valley. Its reputation for fine wines extends well beyond the Fraser.
.
Domaine de Chaberton was opened (1975)by founder's Claude and Inge Violet. This very successful winery was named after the vineyard they had owned in France. The Fraser Valley location was selected for its proximity to Vancouver, the micro climate, south facing slope, and quality of soil and low rain fall. The winery was sold in 2005 to Anthony Cheng and Eugene Kwan, business partners In 2014 the name was changed to Chaberton Estate Winery
The 55 acre parcel of land produces a selection of vitis vinifera 'cool climate' grapes including their signature wine grape "Bacchus". The first vines planted, these Bacchus plants are now over 30 years old! Joining them are: Siegerrebe, Madeleine Sylvaner, Reichensteiner, Madeleine Angevine, Ortega and Gamay Noir.
While the majority of the white varietals are grown in Langley, specially selected red wine grapes from vineyards in the Okanagan and Similkameen valleys are used in the red wines.
Home to the Zagat rated "Excellent" Bacchus Bistro, (which overlooks the vineyard), guests can relax and enjoy a vast selection of authentic bistro cuisine prepared fresh daily from only the finest local ingredients. A truly enjoyable and relaxing place to visit.
