Reviews of Chaberton Estate Winery (Zoo)

Gestler Mendoza

I was able to booked a late lunch for Mother's Day weekend it was last minute and I'm glad I called as they had an opening. They had the mussels on the menu and I also got the Iingcod. Will definitely be back to try their picnic area. …

Made a reservation over a month in advance but was given a terrible table off in the corner in the back of the restaurant. Was told the main section of the restaurant in the covered patio area was first come first served. Makes no sense that walk-ins get prime seating over reservations. A shame because food is pretty good. Not worth the risk unfortunately.

Our first winery experience and it was great! The wines were all excellent and staff very knowledgeable and experienced. …

Martin Fiesel

Awesome place, awesome people and of course amazing wine. We had a flight today on the picnic tables with some snacks, it was a great experience. Highly recommended!

My favourite local winery! I love their Bacchus. I would happily drink any of the whites or rose. I haven’t explored their reds yet, that’s next on my list. Great way to spend an afternoon. Have lunch in the bistro and finish with a tasting or visit Vista Doro and Festina which are both close by

Came for wine tasting and lunch at bacchus restaurant. Love the selection of great wines especially the The German whites. All the food dishes we had at the restaurant were excellent. Loved the French onion soup, the mussels and the ling Cod. Bought a case of assorted wines. Can’t wait to try them.

There were 3 staff today. One of their staff(older lady) had a bad attitude no smile and so grumpy. The young lady Stephanie was super nice and really helpful. I bought 2 bottles from her today they are great. I would go back if the attitude lady isn't there.

Hallie Moher

We did a tasting with Stephanie and she was absolutely wonderful. Very friendly and super knowledgeable about the different wines we tried. My entire group LOVED the Bacchus wine, would definitely recommend to any white lovers. Overall a great experience!

Stephanie Chacon

Went for the first time to Chaberton's Bacchus yesterday. I was told by someone over the phone that reservation wasn't necessary. We felt ostracized when we walked in and the front hostess knew we did not have a reservation. …

This winery is picturesque. With large wooden picnic tables across the specious yard, barrels and the sign it offers not only a great view to enjoy your flight style wine but nice photo ops. Judy our wine counesseur was amazing! But the wine itself is exquisite. The quality of this wine is unbeatable. It was a shame we didn't buy any from the wine store. When we attempted to enter after our tasting the clerk was very unpleasant and we decided to leave. It's still worth a visit purely due to the wine and Judy! And the restaurant is apparently delicious. Overall almost a perfect experience.

Gorgeous place and Staff were very helpful, even though they were busy. Their tasting very nice for a group of friends or couples to enjoy and chat.

It was a sunny Saturday, busy winery, but we were able to order a flight and enjoy it outside while waiting for a picnic table. We had 3 whites and a red, excellent flight selections. Would definately recommend, the 2019 sigerrebe is excellent.

Anna Andres

Amazing winery , wonderful service, great foods and tasty wines ! Highly recommend ????

Emily Howard

Did an impromptu tasting tour for my birthday yesterday this winery is GORGEOUS. busy but not too busy as the venue is very large. Jessie is the absolute best we loved her she taught me so much about wine and tasting etc., she was hilarious …

Brynn Beckett

Loved visiting in early autumn and sitting out at the picnic benches! The staff was attentive and answered my inquiries inside. The wine was good too, but not exceedingly great.

Sophie Lussier

Amazing setting and Winery, tasting fee are just $5 and I discovered amazing new wine. Loved it so much, I joined the wine club

Barbara Gregg

We had a lovely lunch with great wine and food. Service was excellent even with us doing numerous sharing.

Chad Isnor

Our tasting guide Judy was really friendly and very knowledgeable about the wines on offer. Her passion for wines and the wine making process was totally infectious. We learned all kinds of interesting tidbits about various varietals. Was a lot of fun!

Diana Klejne

Love how close to home this amazing winery is . Been here 2 times now, and love the wine tasting and some of the wines. I have heard the food is really good too, but haven't been yet.

Erika Strelau

Excellent food and wine! I had never been and it made me wish I had tried sooner. Lovely place!

Adam Heffey

If ever you feel like a casual evening out that is filled with good wine, great views, tasty food and the most fantastic company, Chaberton is the place to go. Whether it’s Friday after work or sunder chill day, this is a must hit winery. Ask for Heather, you won’t regret it. Enjoy!

Shelby Snow

Just left this winery and it is 4:45pm. We asked if we could sit down for a tasting and the lady said no they are closed for tastings. The winery closes in 1 hour 15 mins. Sorry we won’t be returning that’s ridiculous.

Marion Love

Had a lovey afternoon sitting in the heated Baccus Bistro having lunch. Everything looked great on the menu. The food we ordered was delicious as was the wine. The young guy that served us was attentive and very nice. He made a mistake on our bill and returned $10 cash to us....which we told.him to keep for his honesty , we would not have noticed.

Janelle H

Went here for a tasting today. This place is awesome. Highly recommend. When we go back, we will ask for Lis -- she was super fun and chatty, and on top of that, the wine is delicious! They are on top of physical distancing and that put me at ease. My friend and I were taken to our very own separate tasting room. I noticed that there was no tip option on the debit machine. I made sure to give her a generous cash tip. Hopefully others will come equipped with cash for tips too.

Maddy Boy

The moment we walked in the staff was rude, then a man came and yelled and my partner and I because she was def and with this medical disability , I could not wear a mask, they didn't even ask, they threatens to call the cops. My heart was broken. After we went to township 7 and were treated like gold. Felt right at home. It might have been the owner who yelled at us. But it was terrible and do not recommend anyone going there unless you are perfectly square. Big thanks to township 7 for making us feel at home. And saving the day. We went home with two cases of wine and no need to taste the wine in private rooms, enjoyed the very roomy winery all to ourselves. What a beautiful staff.

Ariane Ens

I just love this place. You can buy some snacks, wine flights and enjoy outside the sun. Perfect for relaxing on your days off. Definitely recommended!

Romi Kim

Lovely place!! Our family had a wonderful time there.I really liked their patio areas.Beautiful grape vines.My two kids were happy that they have kids menu.My husband and I enjoyed the wine. So delicious!! Love to come back!!

Badger McTavish

A great place to spend a sunny afternoon! They provide picnic tables for anyone who buys a bottle or gets a flight of wine, and bring your own cheese abed crackers! The wine is decent. The Syrah was my favorite of the pre-selected flight.

Krista Sweder

Bad service on multiple occasions (same server, older gentleman) Staff is rude and unwilling to help. Came in for a tasting on Mother’s Day and was given the most basic form of a wine tasting, it was over in 10 minutes or less. Gave them a second try today. Walked in with 15 minutes to spare before close. The room was empty except staff. Asked if we could do a tasting and was given a cold “no” as an answer. Later was given the explanation that their tasting takes 20 minutes, which seems like a poor response considering our previous experience. We drive in from Vancouver so it’s definitely disappointing to get that answer. Love the wine but have a very bitter taste in my mouth now from these experiences.

Went to the bistro for lunch with my friend last week. What a great place in south Langley/Surrey. The menu selection is very decent for lunch and food is delicious. This was my first visit to the winery I certainly will be there more often in the future.

CAI GAN XIAN Lucas

Beautiful winery with delicious wine. The staffs are very friendly, motivated and very knowledgeable. I had a wonderful time.

Samantha Day

Wouldn’t recommend. Went this past weekend to try it out as it was my SIL’s birthday and she is visiting from Ontario. It was raining and it was a bit chilly, we walked up and there wasn’t really any signage. Only a sign for the wine shop, the bistro, and the office. We saw someone walk up some stairs and go through a door so we thought maybe that was the entrance. We were wrong, apparently they do private tastings. The employee was very rude trying to talk to us and get us to leave and told us to wait in the wine shop and that it would be a 25 minute wait. We went to the wine shop where they had flights, which was a fine way to do a tasting so we tried that. Staff in the shop were nice, but there isn’t anywhere to sit inside, so we sat outside under a small covered patio but no heaters so we were freezing. The wine was also not very good. We didn’t even finish most of it.

Shadan Sargent

First time at Chaberton Estate and it was a very pleasant visit. We had Dennis as our tasting guide and the way he described the wines was exactly how they tasted. His refreshing method of explanation and description made the wines taste even better. We left with a couple of bottles

D.C. Fraser

Chaberton estate probably has the most variety of wines to try on hand, compared to any other winery. The full gambit of white’s, rose’s and red’s. The bacchus bistro has some of the best food, would even give downtown vancouver a run for it’s money. Best French onion soup, bar none.

Cathy Puskas

They have some really good affordable wines. Their house white was good and very cheap. We enjoyed dinner at the restaurant as well. The food was very good and it was a lovely setting. They accommodated us on short notice, but I got the impression that reservations are the norm.

Alexandra Kapila

DENNIS DESERVES A RAISE! He made our tasting experience incredible we had such an in-depth knowledge of wine, good stories to pair and really helped guide us to help with our preferences. He’s so happy and really would lead us to recommend this winery!!!

Jack Peters

As a "Wine Club Member" we have been enjoying all the events, including the "Wine Makers Dinner" in the "Bacchus Bistro". Nice wine selection and the "wine pickup party" was upscale. Everything is very well done. Thanks for the upscale feeling of your events. The food is truly the best and truly "Great Food and Wine Pairings". Thanks and Cheers .....

Ashley Leong

My husband and I had a fantastic experience at Chaberton today! The moment we walked in we were greeted with smiles and amazing service. Brittany was so helpful in recommending wines to us that we were able to select 5 different wines for …

Emilio Finatti Pizzeria

Grab a bottle of the Bacchus on a sunny day and share a glass with your sweetheart at one of their picnic tables. They have a tasting room to try their tasty selection of wines, and snacks available for purchase. Must come back and try the bistro. Pics posted

Caitlyn Bogaerts

Great experience! Went to a few Langley wineries and this was our favourite! Ed ran our tasting, he was very knowledgeable and made our experience great, he gave great suggestions as well.

Frank Hannig

This is one of BC's largest production wineries featuring mostly white German varietals that excel in this climate. Bacchus Bistro onsite offers lovely menu highliting local fresh foods. A great place for a unique meal and wine tasting experience.

JC Stargirl

A Delicious lunch at the bistro and beautiful day!!!

Justin Foulis

Arrived to enjoy some wine for my girlfriends birthday. Happened to know a couple other people also arriving at to enjoy their services. We were approached by a staff member who assumed that we were one large group and demanded we leave their premises. We tried to explain the situatio, where we were met with hostility. Her unprofessional manner needs to be addressed immediately. Her customer service is an atrocity.

Ela Sakotic

Beautiful winery with very friendly staff. We got to enjoy a private tour which was interesting and informative. All the wine is absolutely delicious, I can never leave empty handed. Also, the gift shop has lots of cute and practical items. The picnic baskets are wonderful.

Dori Somerset

We visited your wonderful Estate Winery today and decided to have lunch at the Bacchus Bistro. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed and shown to a nice table with lovely linen tablecloths and settings. The staff were all dressed …

Monica Pereira

This place is so good! Our group absolutely loved the food. Best lamb, duck, and french onion soup that i've ever had! Wine was also amazing. Walked away with 5 bottles. Tasting is 5 dollars, but is waived if you buy a bottle! Dessert was a London Fog Crème Brûlée ❤❤❤

Doug Hoogeveen

Excellent. Tasted some excellent wines and had a great conversation with the fellow that was looking after us. He discussed each wine and we exchanged experiences wine tasting in Ontario. Ended up buying 4 bottles of great wine. Didn't get a chance to visit the Bacchus Bistro, maybe on our next trip.

shayne sweder

Every time I come to this winery, there is a bald guy who is so rude and gives such poor customer service. I just left a winery, prior to arriving to this one, spending 400+ dollars on wine, and when we arrived 20 mins before closing, he declines us service because they are closing soon… not a great way to sell and make money. I’ve had a bad experience with this same guy before hand and gave it a second shot. Safe to say I will not be back. Sorry.

Heather Alter-McGrath

Great wine, fun staff and a stunning outdoor space to enjoy wine! This winery also allows you to bring your own food and enjoy a little picnic in their outdoor space. Lovely winery! I will definitely be back.

Sean Morais

Absolutely worst customer service. We went around 5 and did know they close at 6. We made sure to even drop of our glasses at 5:50 so we wouldn't be causing any delays but the person working tonight was very rude. We were gathering our stuff to leave but the the staff that was coming around closing was being absolutely rude and just wanted us to get out.

Christopher Steeves

If you like wine, then this place is a must see. With grapes from the field in langley to grapes from the okanagan a large variety of wine types are available from this establishment. They offer small meat and cheese platters to eat in the small picnic area on their lot with your wine, to professional wine tasting, as well as a restaurant for the more particular food conisours. As far as wineries go, this is a top notch must see establishment. FYI, I do not work there or have anything to gain by recommending this place. I just think it has hit the nail on the head for providing what people are looking for in a local winery.

Thomson Cote

Impressed by their collection. They have some very rare kind of wines and whisky's in their stock.

Fran DeJong

After a lovely lunch at the bistro where I enjoyed the Madeleine white wine I went to the store to buy a bottle..The price is $19.60 I gave a 20 dollar bill and was ASKED if I wanted the 40 cents back.. The nerve! It was insulting. Better customer service is needed..

frederick crow

Excellent food good service did a drop in at the bistro and the staff accommodated us well with a nice view and good service

B H

Great food and service. Ordered the mussels with pesto sauce and smoked salmon (special of the day) and it tasted very good...full of flavour and mussels cooked perfectly. Also got the Caesar salad which was very good and not too salty; however the portion was quite small for the salad. Pork rilettes was good too...it was like a pork floss pate. Chicken dijonnaise was very cream and flavourful...chicken was cooked quite nicely and still juicy. Also got the stuffed crepe, that came with organic spring mix. The crepe itself was on the smaller side but it was good. Overall, very good and satisfying lunch. Sat on the patio and got a view of the vineyard.

Anneli Sweder

Unfortunately have had multiple bad experiences in the tasting room (with the same server, an older gentleman). We really enjoy the wine produced be this winery however have been very disappointed by the services. Once we were rushed thought a tasting and could barely catch the ear of our server. It was over in less than 10 mins. The second time, we came in 15 minutes before close. Their open sign was still light up out side. I asked if we could do a tasting and we were given a very cold ‘no’. The reason being that their tastings normally take 20 minutes or more… but remembering out previous experience that seemed like a very sorry excuse. Once again, really enjoy the wine but the service is terrible.

It was our first time dinning outside we brought our own food, there was four of us two couples, and bought the wine ,a interesting concept we got a tray with two different wine each with the names so you could choose which you preferd.It …
