The Fort Wine Co.

The Fort Wine Co. is a fruit winery in Fort Langley, in British Columbia's Fraser Valley just east of Vancouver. Born from a working cranberry farm, the winery is often credited as one of the province's pioneering fruit-wine producers, and it remains rooted in the agricultural landscape of Langley. Rather than grape wines, the estate specializes in wines crafted from British Columbia berries and orchard fruit, supporting local berry and fruit farms across the region. The result is a distinctive lineup that sets it apart from the grape-focused estates more common elsewhere in BC.

Visitors come to the tasting room to sample a range of fruit wines, which have included cranberry, blueberry, raspberry, and other berry-based styles, as well as fortified and dessert options that showcase the intensity of local fruit. The setting in historic Fort Langley pairs well with a day of exploring the village's heritage sites, riverside walks, shops, and restaurants, making the winery an easy addition to a Fraser Valley outing. The Fraser Valley wine and agri-tourism scene is more compact and pastoral than the Okanagan, and The Fort Wine Co. fits that character with its farm-based, family-run feel. Guests can typically expect a relaxed tasting experience, the chance to learn how fruit wines are made, and bottles to take home. As with most BC tasting rooms, hours can vary by season, so visitors should confirm current tasting-room times and any tasting fees before arriving. For travelers curious about a different side of British Columbia wine, The Fort Wine Co. offers a memorable, fruit-forward stop close to Vancouver.
