Some places carry a story in their name. Canadian Flower Winery draws its name, and the tulips on its labels, from the Dutch royal family's wartime refuge in Canada and the 100,000 tulip bulbs gifted to the country in 1945, a tradition of gratitude that lives on in Canada's Tulip Festival.
The winery and vineyard sits in Richmond, bringing a vineyard setting within easy reach of the city.
Weddings are welcome here, along with birthday parties and other group events. The property offers a combination of indoor and outdoor space for celebrating special occasions.
Outdoors, seating areas among the vines give guests somewhere to enjoy a glass in the sun. Indoors, the winery has the feel of an art gallery, with collected paintings and sculptures, tasteful installations and intimate tasting rooms.
Wine is naturally at the centre of it all. The vineyard grows varieties including Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah, and the winery is known for its award-winning icewine, featured on Air Canada international flights since 2017.
Throughout the year the winery also hosts art exhibitions and live music evenings, a reflection of how closely wine and art are woven together here.
Practical details have been considered too. A large, well-lit parking lot accommodates cars and tour buses, making it easier for family and friends to arrive together.
For couples who picture a celebration surrounded by vines, art and icewine without travelling far from the city, Canadian Flower Winery offers a setting with a story woven into every bottle.
