Vinoscenti Vineyards — Attraction in Surrey

Looking to get out of the house during these "unprecedented" times? Look no further than Vinoscenti! A friend booked a tour and I decided to join and tag along at the last minute, and let me tell you - I am still impressed and will most likely go back with other friends for another!

My friend who booked it couldn't stop raving about how organized they were, so I suppose the first stop of greatness started in the correspondence and I have to say, from what I saw - they were accommodating and very timely. I appreciated the attention to detail in their responses via email/text. Especially when my friend told them I would be tagging along at the last minute with their group.. no problem.

We chose a private tour due to COVID-19 and they demonstrated the perfect balance of safety and hospitality which is always greatly appreciated during this time.

Our guide was James, who was extremely well informed, personable and and cultured. He provided a lot of education about the region/wines/history/etc, and provided humor and entertainment with the perfect balance of "good times".. an hour had passed by and I thought it was only 15-20 minutes.

He was very enchanting, and I know definately I will be booking another go-around with them again. I can't wait to organize something and bring my other friends - this is one of the hidden gems during the pandemic, these tours - but not to take anything away from it, I would do it "pre-pandemic" and have had just as much fun. Thanks so much again!

Oh, and the wine...

I am writing on behalf of my husband and myself. My sister and brother-in-law highly recommended we visit Vinoscenti Vineyard to sample the delicious wines made from grapes grown and bottled on site. She also encouraged me to meet the new proprietor, Dr. Clinton Lee, to hear about his plans for cultural events that include classical music. I am a guitar teacher with a classical background and I perform for my extended family on occasion. After meeting Dr. Lee I was truly enchanted and inspired. Dr. Lee and his staff are offering an experience that I believe Greater Vancouver, as a world renowned City, is more than ready for. Most of us are living in perpetual busyness. This is lauded in our society, however, we must stop to celebrate our privilege and good fortune. I stopped for such a moment to taste a chilled Riesling and chat with Dr. Lee about his plans for the vineyard. Partaking in a glass of excellent wine accompanied by intelligent discourse has made me appreciate the wonderful job I have as a guitar teacher and performing musician. Thank you Dr. Lee and staff at Vinoscenti. I look forward to kicking off our Vino e...

My partner and I were just at Vinoscenti Vineyards yesterday and had a wonderful experience. Having been to Sonoma, Napa, the Interior of BC etc... for wine tasting, we wanted to try something local.

We were blown away by the level of education we received. Dr. Lee (that's right, he's got a PHD) is a TRUE historian. Not only is he one of the worlds finest educators about wine, he also knew about World history and culture. So inspiring!

The tour was bout 90 minutes and we were able to taste 4 wines and enjoy a charcuterie plate as well. We really enjoyed learning the process of how to taste wine correctly and Dr. Lee was intent on doing it a few times with us so it really stuck!

We will most definitely be going back to the Vineyard and bringing more people to enjoy this delightful place. They even sang me Happy Birthday :)

Thanks Dr. Lee and the whole staff. We...
