On Saturday, June 27, 2009, from 2pm to 5pm, the 12 wineries that make up the Fraser Valley Winery Association (FVWA) are once again setting up their tent at scenic High Point Equestrian Estate Community (2 Avenue at 200 Street, Langley). This ‘2nd Annual FVWA Wine & Culinary Extravaganza’ provides an opportunity to sip some BC’s most unique wines, savour with local chefs from Bacchus Bistro, Coza! Tuscan Grill, Memphis Blues, Sonoma Grill, and The Seasonal Experience whilst being serenaded by the Jesse Burch Band. Partial proceeds benefit Langley’s Pacific Riding for Developing Abilities. Be sure to check the website for up to date information. Tickets are $50 + tax and can be purchased by calling 1-800-663-1900 or by visiting www.fvwa.ca
Don’t miss the opportunity to join the best of the Valley’s locally produced wine and food while surrounded by expansive parkland that makes up Campbell Valley Regional Park. You’ll also be able to take in a spectacular view of the Gold Ears Mountain while regaling in the endless fresh air. Winner of the 2008 Red Robinson’s Talent Show, BC’s Jesse Burch Band will further set the tone for an afternoon of fine wines and farm-fresh food with their acoustic-guitar driven country-rock sound. High Point Equestrian Estate Community is located on the south edge of the Langley Township and is a community concentrated around riding paddocks, trails and wetlands. This is a natural tie for FVWA’s continuing support of the Pacific Riding for Developing Abilities (PRDA). PRDA was established in 1973 to provide therapeutic horseback riding to individuals with physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities.
