More info

The date

Vista D'oro is ten acres of South Langley farmland overlooking Campbell Valley Park, with the Golden Ears range posing behind it like a postcard you didn't quite earn. It is beloved for D'oro, a fortified walnut wine that genuinely tastes like Christmas in a glass, plus a shelf of wildly creative preserves you will buy and immediately regret not buying more of. Reserve ahead, especially on sunny weekends.

How to do it

Reserve ahead, the tasting space is genuinely small, so sunny-Saturday walk-ins get turned away, and it's only open Thursday through Sunday, 11 to 5. The thing you must try is the D'oro fortified walnut wine; it's the cult bottle this farm is built on and most first-timers don't know it exists until a staffer pours it. Take your tasting outside to look over Campbell Valley Park and, on a clear day, the Golden Ears range, that view is the whole romantic point. Budget time to graze the preserves shelf (the peach-lemon-verbena-champagne and craft-beer jams make the best leave-with gift in Langley) and check if the pizza truck is parked up before you go, since it's there on select days. Pair this with Campbell Valley Park five minutes away for an easy afternoon loop.
