AboutChaberton Estate Winery
Chaberton began with Claude and Inge Violet’s search for a new home for winemaking after they sold their French vineyard and winery in 1975. They settled in South Langley, tried different grape varieties and planted the vineyard in earnest in the mid-1980s. Chaberton’s first wine followed in 1991. Today, the winery uses fruit from its Fraser Valley estate alongside grapes from the Okanagan and Similkameen valleys.
Chaberton Estate Winery 2024 Reserve Dry Bacchus
Canadian White
Rose petals, green apple and spice appear alongside grapefruit, apple, stone fruit and citrus. The palate is crisply dry, with soft texture and a clean, refreshing character. Bacchus makes up ninety-five percent of the blend and Sémillon the remaining five percent. The fruit comes from the Fraser Valley, and the finished wine carries the BC VQA Fraser Valley designation.
Chaberton Estate Winery 2023 Barrel Aged Chardonnay

Jasmine, underripe pineapple and honeyed stone fruit sit with integrated oak and crisp acidity. The Chardonnay comes from the Okanagan Valley and carries fourteen percent alcohol. It is lightly oaked, with ten months of ageing, and the wine is vegan. Citrus, popcorn and toasted brioche also appear alongside vanilla and coconut. The style is dry.
Chaberton Estate Winery 2023 Estate Grown Zweigelt
Canadian Red
Sweet cherry, vanilla and a hint of spice appear with silky tannins. Cranberry, blackberry and cherry form the fruit profile, and the palate is medium-bodied. The blend is ninety-six percent Zweigelt and four percent Cabernet Franc. Maturation lasts fifteen months, using twenty-five percent new French oak and seventy-five percent neutral barrels that are mostly American. Alcohol is twelve-point-one percent, and the wine is vegan.
Chaberton 2025 Estate Grown Bacchus
Canadian White
Lemon zest and crisp apple lead a bright, clean profile, softened by gentle floral tones of honeysuckle. The palate enters with generous fruit but stays fresh and well defined, balancing richness with lively acidity. Composed and easy to pair, it suits roast poultry, shellfish, fresh cheeses or lightly spiced vegetable dishes.
