For brunch, head to The Agora & Apothecary at Tanglebank Gardens. Tanglebank is a multi-generational family farm and boutique garden centre and bistro, where they strive to create an experience of outdoor inspiration.

Whether you’re strolling through the colourful gardens, enjoying a meal from the recently revamped menu, shopping in the gift shop or picking out plants for your own home, they are passionate about providing unique, quality items that inspire and encourage people to cultivate.

As a destination for all, Tanglebank welcomes everyone to come and experience all they have to offer. Plan to give yourself time to stroll after breakfast or just sit in the garden enjoying the breeze, the fragrance and the beauty.

After breakfast and a wander through the Tanglebank Gardens, head to Five Acres Flower Farm. This farm specializes in dahlia tubers, tulips and peonies. They offer flowers and bulbs at their farm stand from Friday through Sunday, or you can sign up for one of their flower workshops.

Visit this farm for its thousands of fragrant lavender plants and other wildflowers. You can also pick up some natural products from their shop, like soaps, honey and teas.

Next, head into town to the International Friendship Garden. This scenic park is a must-see in Abbotsford, especially for the large striking golden tree memorial sculpture.

When you’re ready for another meal, try The Table Bistro. They offer a variety of classic artisanal menu items with exciting spins, a select wine list, and delicious coffee.

After lunch, head east to Maan Farms. This Abbotsford stable offers a variety of farm experiences across the seasons, like their U-Pick berry farm, and pumpkin patch and haunted maze in the fall. You can also pay a visit to their winery tasting room.

Make your way to Ripples Estate Winery & New Wave Distilling for an artisanal cocktail or wine tasting. Located in the heart of the Fraser Valley, tucked into a garden oasis you will find craft cocktails, artisan wines and tasty bites sourced from their own ingredients, sustainably. Be sure to sit out in their Secret Garden. The ambiance is tropical garden party meets elegance. The beautiful clear roof reception space is filled with tropical trees and plants and draped with elegant chiffon with massive, dimmable crystal chandeliers that twinkle all night. Water features add soft sounds so you can focus on the scent of jasmine and ginger lilies, as they fill the air.

Save room for an excellent farm-to-table meal at Restaurant 62. This fine dining destination brings the best of local goods straight to your plate. Accompany your meal with a wine pairing with local and global wines.
