Wow. Just wow. Came…read morein for a wine tasting and ended up making an event out of it! Having a ladies day in Fort Langley and we stopped by Valley Commons for an impromptu tasting. Their happy hour runs from 2-5pm and includes cocktails, glasses of wine and wine flights. We indulged in a self-selected wine tasting (five, 2 ounce pours) and were so impressed that we ended up leaving with 3 bottles (2022 Rose, Stoneboat "Piano" brut, and Rosé Frizzante 2022). Colby, our connoisseur (and new BFF), was very knowledgeable and accommodating in answering our questions and offering suggestions. We will definitely be back for more wine! And also to kick it with Colby. I give them my strongest recommendations!

Great wines and phenomenal charcuterie boards…read more The owner is a retired chef who's passion is wine (and pairing it with delicious things). I stopped by for a glass of wine and ended up leaving with 2 bottles plus a new appreciation for Washington GSMs and pinots! Purchased a 2017 GSM (grenache-syrah-mouvedre) from Latta, Columbia Valley AVA ($25) and a 2019 Syrah from Rockgarden Vineyards, Walla Walla AVA. Looking forward to trying both soon! Definitely splurge in the charcuterie boards; they are works of art!

The board had salami, coppa, and prosciutto and you could tell they were high quality meats. The clams and sausage was our favorite, the sauce it was cooked in was delicious especially with the Foccacia. The chickpeas were a nice touch as well. The portions were filling even when sharing them with someone else. The service was attentive and very friendly, and the interior had a slightly upscale vibe but it was a very chill spot and you don't feel out of place even if you dress. Would highly recommend!

That Butter Board with house wine jelly and the unforgettable Whipped Feta with Baked Peaches & Pistachios stole the show! Plus, their Mexican Street Corn Salad was the perfect fresh bite. So impressed by their commitment to local ingredients and sustainability. The service was wonderful with the staff - knowledgable with their offerings and checking in with us time to time. Thanks! The beautiful decor of their outdoor dining space made the experience even more special. It was a first time but not the last, next time we are in Abbotsford.

Beautiful venue and I really wanted to like this place, unfortunately everything fell short during…read moreour visit. I reserved a table on a OpenTable and had to wait for about 10 minutes to be sat down. All tables were full, and the table we were led to was very hot and blinded by the sun. We asked the server once another table left if we could move to a table that has a sun umbrella and some decent shades, she said no because another party reserved it and had already arrived. I was confused and told her I also made a reservation, so how come another reserved party has higher priority than us. She then apologized and said she didn't know I had a reservation (even I told her from the get go), and eventually arranged us to move. We ordered drinks and snacks. My cocktail came rather promptly, but my husband waited for 45 minutes for his sparkling wine flight, and they gave him a wrong order of red wine flight. He had to wait another 15 minutes, so totally one bloody hour for the correct sparkling wine flight. We ordered the whipped feta with fig & blueberry compote, and after an hour long they came another wrong order, the whipped feta with baked peaches and pistachios. It tasted decent, but it was still the wrong order nonetheless. The server just kept on saying kitchen is super busy and servers are insanely exhausted today. She didn't even offer to give us the new correct dish, or do anything to make up for it.

We were visiting from the US and found Maan farms through some extensive research…read more Maan farm is located in abbotsford, about an hour from Vancouver. Maan farm offers a lot to see and do: a tulip forest, photo ops, a kid's play zone, animals, and wine tasting. When we arrived we wanted to do wine tasting. We got to try 4 different wines for $10 and were also given the option of a free tasting with the purchase of a wine. The employee, Alejandro was very helpful in answering all of our questions. He even explained that all fruit is grown on site. After wine tasting, we visited the animals. The animals were well cared for and in clean encounters. Finally, we visited the tulip forest which offered photo ops, tulips, and a peaceful environment. I couldn't recommend Maan Farm more!

We were there at 10 am and there was barely anyone there. This was great as I was able to take lots of pictures and pet animals. Since we came during BAE days, there were 5 kinds of baby animals for viewing: pigs, goats, sheeps, highland cows and rabbits. My favorite was the baby goats. They were 1.5-2M old and they were adorable running around. Beware that they will chew on your shoelaces or jackets. We got a few kind of food. The lemonade was mediocre and butter chicken Mac and cheese was a rip off at $15. There were 3-4 tiny pieces of chicken and the rest was just macaroni. The butter chicken taste was also very light. The samosas were yummy but they're somewhat spicy. My personal favorite was the carrot cake. You can actually see lots of pieces of carrots in it. It was $7 something a piece. The icing was a bit sweet, however. The entire farm was to be enjoyed by both adults and kids. My toddler really liked the bubble zone. She basically got to wave the twin wands around and out came big bubbles. We bought the membership which was $10 off if purchased prior to 4/12. We'll be back for summer and their pumpkin patch.
