Wine Flight
Drea S.

It was my first time trying this place and not only did the place seem very cozy but also has the most amazing rustic vibe! It was such a good pick! It's in a little hidden area and the place is such a gem. I don't regret taking a shot in the dark and finding this place! The bartenders were so much fun and the waiters were easily approachable! The alcohol and the food were something different, most places you'd stumble upon wouldn't be offering! That was such a stand out to me! Amazing place! Will be back again!

Dreams to come true and they come in the form of wine flights!

Wine flights = love. Visited Vancouver Urban Winery after a day of brewery hopping. I love beer, but after a day filled with hops - grapes were such a welcome treat! From the moment you walk in this location is spectacular. You are greeted by wine barrels, comfortable seating and high ceilings that have you in awe of this space. The winery is located in the Settlement Building, which is home to this spot, as well as a delicious kitchen and brewery, too! Since this review is strictly for wine - I will stick to that. I enjoyed a lovely wine flight, great service and awesome company. The wine was lovely, my favorite being the rosé. I didn't take home a bottle, but I also loved the labels on the wine - very simple but also chic.

Under rated! Great atmosphere and service! Their wine flights gives you a variety for those that have different wine preferences and their charcuterie board is worth every penny!!

My friend and I stopped here on a Saturday afternoon for wine flights. We ended up drinking two flights (five 1 ounce pours per flight ). The wine flights are certain the way to go to be able to discover new wines that are local. The wines are preselected for the flight. There are options on the flights as you can choose from just reds, whites and reds, white, red and rose, all whites, and a premium selection of whites and reds. My first wine flight was Seeing red. Our server explained that it is best to drink from left to right and try each one first. My favorite was Steamboat Pinotage/Pinot Noir '15. My taste buds were dancing with this dry red. My second flight was the Vancouver Urban Winery flight. The flight is a mixture of red, rose, and white and of course all were Urban Winery's own wine. My favorite from that flight was the Vancouver Winery Reliance '15 (merlot). There was food for purchase but we didn't partake since we had a late lunch. However, I will say that the food looked quite delicious from the few plates I did see.

Sommeliers choice!

We were near the area so we decided to try some wine after dinner! I would've tried their dishes if I wasn't so full from dinner. The atmosphere inside the shop was so cute. The lighting was dim, but made for an intimate conversation. My two friends aren't huge wine fans so they got the white & pink flight which had a selection of white wines and rose. I went for the sommeliers choice, which had two whites, a rose, and two reds. My favorite was probably the rose - the clos du soleil rose. The wines would've definitely paired well with a charcuterie board! My only concern was that we walked to the winery late at night and the area was a little sketchy especially at night. It was worth it though because we got to try some delicious Canadian wine!

If you read my Belgard Kitchen review, then you already know how much I love The Settlement Building + Vancouver Urban Winery. I'll keep this short and sweet since I went into detail in my other review, but let me just start by saying that they have 34 different wines on tap. Yup. 34. I mean, can your wine get any more fresh? Yes, probably, but that's besides the point. You can also get wine flights to sample and find your favourite one. You can buy bottles of their wine in-store and enjoy that bad boy at home or bring it to your next party to share (if that's your thing). As a person who is keen for design and detail, I love the labels and branding that the winery uses for their bottles - reminds me of a fancy chalkboard. I'm into it. Pair any of these wines with the food from Belgard and you have yourself a great evening out. Plus, the building alone is reason to visit. SO COOL. I'll be back for more wine very, very, soon!

Flights!!

Great place for wine and beer lovers! Hip local winery , craft brewery. The vibe is cool to hang out , chill and taste some awesome food and wine. We did not try beers, next time. Wines were all from BC , wine tap was nice, wine flights were great to start and we chose what we liked best, for a glass. Food, great! Ceviche, meatballs, gnocchi and charcuterie board were really good, great flavors and fresh . Service: very good, unpretentious, attentive and fairly knowledgable about wines. I love all the locally sourced wine and food. The vibe is hip, cool and upbeat. The building itself is pretty cool. One star knocked of because of the buildings location, very sketch about a block away, a large tent city looms from a distance. Be careful if you're walking, Thank goodness the cabs were pulling up by the building. Will be back tho!

Charcuterie... definitely try the pickled scallions.. I was a skeptic but alas... D-LISH!

Ok... so this is more than "just ok"... but I can't say I'm truly a "fan"... so 3.5 stars. We were out being tourists, and I saw the reviews for this place and knew we had to try it, and it seemed like it was close to Gastown. (It's less a mile from the edge of Gastown.) Plus, I love wine tastings and trying new wines so I figured this would be a good place to try some "local" wines.... and it was. The wines are "on tap".... just like a brewery. And there's lots to choose from. I didn't count, but I figure probably over 30 different wines to choose from. We did a white wine flight and a red wine flight... each flight had 5 samples that consisted of 2oz pours each. The wines were interesting but nothing jumped out at me and made me say "Oh my gosh... I could drink you all night." They also offer a nice appetizer menu and a full menu because they are a restaurant as well. We ordered the charcuterie plate and it was pretty darn awesome. So, if you're looking for a place to meet up with friends, I'd say this is a good spot. The locals probably know the ins and outs of how to get here, but as tourists... I'd recommend taking a taxi to and from this place when it's dark. It's in an industrial part of the city which is neat, but it's very close to some not-so-nice parts of town.

So this establishment is really 3 places in one (wine = Vancouver Urban, beer = Postmark Brewing, food = Belgard Kitchen), all in the same space. Kind of silly having 3 different entries. This review is about the wine side of things. As with my other reviews, the place is quite classy, and they did the whole "converted old warehouse" theme quite well. Staff are friendly, and the place definitely impresses. My friend Ant F. tried the wine taster (5 glasses) while I had a flight of beer. Suddenly he stops and scowls. Our conversation stops abruptly. What's wrong? One of the wines (Noble Ridge Chardonnay 2013) is awful. He passes the glass to my other friend. She takes a sip and immediately spits it out with a frown. I take a sip and wow, it's um, sour and kind of tastes like there's a bit of bleach in there. Is it a bad one? Maybe it's supposed to taste like this? We flag down our waitress (took a few minutes, she was running around like crazy), and inquire about this one. The waitress goes to the back, and does a huddle with another waitress. I watch them discuss for a few minutes, then our waitress samples it. Then they discuss some more. After 10 or so minutes, she returns and says that's what it's supposed to taste like. It's definitely possible (I'm no connoisseur), but the 3 of us still thought the wine was "off". She gladly gives my friend a glass filled with another type of wine, no questions asked. My friend approves of the taste of this one, and the rest of the evening goes smoothly. Props to customer care here. Not sure if I would recommend the wines here (I'm not much of a wine person), but my friends approve. And I can definitely vouch for the beer and food here (see my other reviews).

Food is a bit on the pricier side for the smaller portion size, but I always enjoy what I get here. I love their pizzas, and recently I had a great gnocchi when I came here for my birthday. I also like their wine flights because you really get to try out a lot of options for something like $13. The "grape expectations" red and white flight made me laugh. Ambiance is very cool, with the wine barrels on the side.

I came to an event here for Okanagan Crush Pad and was so impressed with the space. How these guys managed to get the licensing for this space is beyond me but good on them for jumping through whatever hoops were required. Someone told me it's $10,000 just to rent the space for an event. Whoa! If you've got the money though this is a sweet-ass venue for something spectacular and unique. I like the idea of wine on tap. Great idea for a by-the-glass program. So many events fail when it comes to a decent glass of wine. I checked out their website and they even have a band for your event if you need it. I don't see anything on their site about catering so I presume you're free to go with whomever you choose. I see they hosted a course for the Secret Supper Soiree which is pretty cool. I hope I get invited to more parties here!

Taking flight with a flight

By far one of the hippest and coolest places to go to in Vancouver. Whether you're on a first date, out with a friend for lunch, or meeting with a group of people for drinks, this is the spot to go to! However a little bit out of the way, the Winery is still a close walk from Gastown and has nearby parking right outside of the restaurant. All the wine and beer is locally made, and some distilled right in the very restaurant! Guests are even welcome to a free tour of the distillery during less busy hours (though not very big or very exciting, unless you're curious to see what it looks like.) With a cozy set of couches and seats against barrels stacked tall, a beautiful (marble, maybe?) fireplace, incredibly high wooden panelled ceilings, and other exquisite decor, Urban Winery's got a concept and it's flying! But enough about the atmosphere, let's talk food. If you decide to, the grilled cheese toasties with tomato fondue are to die for, and the wine flights are affordable and well worth your mouth muscle energy. Vancouver Urban Winery is a place to gather for great taste in food, wine, beer, and fun.

Festina Lente Estate Winery - Ginger and lavender mead

Festina Lente Estate Winery

If you think you know Mead - you gotta try this place. The…read moreowners are amazing and the offerings are amazing. You will truly love this stuff to compliment any collection you may have. Highly rated!

We stumbled upon this place when the GPS took us on the wrong route to Chaberton Winery and lost…read moreour way. We decided to stop here when backtracking to Chaberton as it was on the way. Unfortunately the tasting of 6 different flavored mead made us a bit too woozy to go across to Township 7 vineyards for more wine tasting. Luckily there's a traveling tea shop on the lawn where we could sober up with some high tea food or sandwiches or charcuterie board. I never realized there are quite a fair bit of wineries in the Langley/Abbotsford area. You don't really need to go far to kelowna if you're short on time. We also saw horses out here. Too cute. And really a wonderful way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. This place specializes in mead. You can be a club member and there are special meads for members. They do a tasting for $10 which is waived with purchase of a bottle ($26). I love how the staff will tell a story or origins of the name for their different meads. Dry mead -- the original. I tend towards sweeter alcohol and I'm surprised I could drink this. Not overly sweet. It is light and crisp with a bit of bubbly (not fizzy) to me. Very refreshing. Ginger mead -- I like ginger but not in this mead. A bit herbal to me. Lavender mead -- it's the prettiest with the violet hue. It smells of lavender but the taste sticks for the longest time for me. Cranberry mead -- a light orange pink color. It's very tart. Vinum Regum -- 2 versions, we tried the reserved one which is aged for 90 days in oak barrel so it has a Smokey flavor like whiskey. It's really strong for me. Lvna (Luna) -- mulled mead which has winter spices like mulled wine. This is the sweetest. Very nice. They have other fruity flavors like pear. Lovely staff and definitely come here if you want some uncommon flavored mead.
