Winter is coming, and if you want to soak up every last bit of fall then visiting a winery is just the way to do it. There's a bunch of wineries near Vancouver, where you can sip vino as you stroll through the rows of vines.
It may not be super hot out, but it's still the perfect way to get outside and enjoy a crisp autumn day.
Some of these wineries even have other wholesome activities to do that will get you in the fall feels, like pumpkin patches.
What better way to enjoy a weekend than getting out of the city and going on a wine tour?
Most of these wineries are actually in Langley, which isn't too far outside of Vancouver and happens to be the ideal wine country.
"Because the Fraser Valley wine region is conveniently located only 45 minutes from the heart of Vancouver, it makes for the perfect day trip destination. Not only can you enjoy wine tastings, but several wineries offer dining and farm tours as well," the Tourism Langley website said.
So, it's time to get your wine connoisseur cap on and go and explore the region. Fall is slipping away like a bottle of wine (get it?), so make sure to plan your weekends so you can make the most of the season before it comes to an end.
Gather the group chat and plan a fun day trip with them all, or make it a special getaway with your significant other. Either way, cheers!
