Beautiful setting. Lot of plants and the staff are very pleasant.
It was absolutely wonderful really enjoyed our lunch
We visited Ripples Estate Winery & New Wave Distilling with my family. When we said we wanted to buy a bottle of wine, they told us we had to pay an extra $10 just because we planned to drink it on site. I said okay.
They gave us a table inside, but I mentioned I preferred to sit outside by the fire. They said all the outdoor tables were reserved. I accepted the indoor one, but when I went to tell my husband to come in, I noticed there were empty outdoor tables that weren’t reserved. When I pointed that out, they reluctantly prepared one for us outside.
I also ordered a Hubba Bubba non-alcoholic drink for my son that comes with a bubble on top. However, the bubble popped before he even had a sip, right in front of the staff. My husband politely asked if they could make another bubble for him, but they refused unless we ordered another drink!
The service was extremely disappointing and unfriendly. We had planned to order food and snacks too, but after seeing such rude behavior, we decided to leave and go somewhere else — a place where they actually know how to treat customers with respect.

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate that you took the time to follow up with your staff, but your response does not reflect what actually happened during our visit.
There was no reservation for the outdoor tables at the time — they were empty, and your team only agreed to move us after I pointed it out. Also, my son had not taken a sip of his drink when the bubble popped in front of your staff; it burst immediately after being made. We only asked kindly if it could be redone, but the request was refused.
What truly disappointed us was the unfriendly and dismissive attitude we experienced. We had planned to stay longer and order food, but unfortunately, the way we were treated made us feel unwelcome.
Cute place to enjoy a nice social night out with the ladies.
Food was okay - you can't make any changes to the sandwiches, such as requesting for some ingredients to be removed as they come premade.
The drinks were fun, for both the alcoholic and non alcoholic type.
Loved photographing this wedding from start to finish. Even though the rain moved the ceremony indoors, the venue was stunning. The bridal room is classic and elegant, filled with white details that give off such a wedding vibe. The large tent for the ceremony and reception was gorgeous—tall, bright, surrounded by greenery, and accented with beautiful chandeliers. I’d definitely recommend this venue to any couple! The only small drawbacks were a few puddles from the rain and limited signage to help direct guests, but overall, it’s a 5-star venue.
Absolutely beautiful spot. Wedding venue, wine tasting, distillery tasting, gardens, unbelievable food! This was a happy surprise stop. Skipped another destination just to spend more time here. The staff was great and made the afternoon quite enjoyable. If you haven't stopped here yet, you are missing out. The whipped feta and peach is delicious!!! Can't wait to go back for more.
We held my mom’s celebration of life at Ripples winery in the secret garden area and it was a completely wonderful experience from start to finish. Caroline was kind, accommodating and provided exceptional service to myself, my dad and my sisters. The room was stunning and was set up beautifully with flowers and decor. The charcuterie and drinks were impressive and wonderfully tasty! Everything was completely stress free knowing Caroline had it all under control. Can’t thank her and her wonderful staff enough for making our evening so special. I highly recommend this venue and Caroline and her staff to anyone looking for a wonderful event space. Thank you Caroline.
The most beautiful, tranquil, peaceful little paradise! A must See and experience kind of place 💕
Beautiful ambience, tasty bites, great wine and spirits. Loved it there and will go again
Ripples Winery is such a hidden gem! The grounds are absolutely stunning with ponds, gardens, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes you want to stay all day. The wine and cocktails are incredible—creative, beautifully presented, and so delicious. The staff are warm, welcoming, and really make the experience special. Whether you’re here for a tasting, a cocktail night, or an event, everything feels thoughtfully done. Can’t wait to come back!

Wish I could give this place 10 stars! The staff are friendly and very hardworking. The cocktails and food are exceptional. Highly recommend.
Venue is beautiful but the people who work there have ugly personalities
A wonderful place and excellente service. Thank you Nicole. (Table 34 )
This place is stunning! From the meticulously thought out gardens to expertly crafted, one of a kind drinks. This spot does not disappoint! The food is fantastic, they have lots of gluten free options, the setting is phenomenal, and the staff is so great! I absolutely love this place, and hope to come back anytime I’m back in the Fraser valley!
What a gem!
I recently visited Ripples Winery in Abbotsford and had an amazing time! The winery offers a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and passionate about their wines. The tasting experience was fantastic, with a variety of delicious wines to explore, each reflecting the unique character of the region. The beautiful setting made it even more special, perfect for a relaxing afternoon. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of their fantastic wines. Highly recommend!
