The Ultimate Guide to Langley in the Summer

By mid-June, summer in Langley is fully underway. Strawberry season starts, winery patios stay busy well into the evening, and a simple back-road drive turns a quick day out into an all-day plan.

Pick almost any weekend between now and Labour Day, and you’ll find something happening, from farm festivals and night markets to live music, lavender fields, and a pie you’ll still be talking about Tuesday.

We’re about forty-five minutes east of Vancouver, right where the city starts giving way to farmland, wineries, and quieter roads lined with farm stands. Close enough for a day trip, far enough that it counts as a proper weekend away.

Here’s how summer in Langley shapes up for 2026: The seasonal finds worth pulling over for, the festivals locals actually plan around, and the spots that turn a quick afternoon into a whole weekend

Farm Stops, Berry Fields & Lavender Season

The farms and wineries are why most people end up here in the first place. Berry fields opening for U-pick, roadside stands filling up for the season, and people taking the long way home just to squeeze in one more stop. Boxes of berries on backseats, jam jars in the cup holder, and a car ride where everyone’s quiet because everyone’s eating.

The Circle Farm Tour is the easiest way to do it. It’s a self-guided route through Langley’s farms, wineries, cideries, and markets, and part of the fun is not sticking too tightly to a plan. You might stop at Eagle Acres Dairy to try cow milking, wander through Kensington Prairie Farm to visit the alpacas, pick up fresh eggs from Central Park Farms, or end up at Cedar Rim Nursery with an armful of flowers for yourself and a friend.

And yes, you’ve probably already heard of Krause Berry Farms & Estate Winery. It’s one of the biggest draws in summer for good reason. U-pick season starts in mid-June, the waffle bar stays busy, and people line up early for the pies (the berry custard pie is the one worth getting in line for). But it’s also worth making time for some of the smaller farm stops around Langley, all doing something a little different.

Wineries, Breweries, Cideries & Distilleries

South Langley’s wine country is close enough together that you can cover a few stops in one afternoon without spending half the day in the car.

Festina Lente Estate Winery is doing something most BC wineries aren’t: small-batch dry mead made from honey, food-friendly enough to pair with dinner. Dogs are welcome on the patio, so bring yours.

Chapter Estates Winery is the newest of the bunch, a twenty-acre vineyard with a boutique tasting room that opened in 2025, growing classic vinifera alongside experimental varieties, so the flight changes more often than at the established places. And if you want the proper outlier, The Fort Wine Co. has been making wine from cranberries, blueberries, and raspberries on the family farm in Glen Valley since 2001. BC’s first fruit-only winery.

Otter Trail Winery is the one to build lunch around. Full bistro and tasting lounge in the same space, proper cooking, and you’ll lose three hours before you notice.

The craft beverage scene keeps expanding beyond wine, too. Camp Beer Co. is often the first recommendation locals throw out, Five Roads Brewing has one of the better patios in town, and Locality Brewing in Aldergrove is built for a long table and a loud one. If cider or spirits are more your speed, Fraser Valley Cider Company and Roots and Wings Distillery are both worth building into the route.

Trails, Waterparks & Wide Open Space

Langley in summer makes it easy to mix a slow afternoon with something more active.

Campbell Valley Regional Park is where a lot of locals send first-time visitors. Forest trails, open meadows, and enough looping paths that you can walk for twenty minutes or two hours. You’ll likely cross paths with equestrians while you’re there, so slow down and give the horses a little room.

Closer to Fort Langley, the Fort-to-Fort Trail follows the Fraser River between Fort Langley and Derby Reach. Flat, easy, and good for everything from a casual walk to a long bike ride when the weather’s cooperating. Grab a sandwich from the village beforehand, and the whole trail turns into a picnic.If your version of summer involves a tee time and a patio afterward, Redwoods Golf Course and Fort Langley Golf Course are both built for the kind of round where the patio order shows up before the scorecard does.

When the Kids Are Along

A few spots in Langley will eat your whole day once the kids spot them.

The Greater Vancouver Zoo tends to do that pretty quickly. Between the animal encounters, seasonal events, and the playground, most families don’t make it out before closing. During summer, the zoo also runs special programming, including light shows, night markets, and feature weekends throughout the season.

Loft Country is the full family farm day experience with wagon rides, pony rides, seasonal events, and enough room for kids to disappear into the next activity before you’ve caught up to them.

And when the weather heats up, the Otter Co-op Outdoor Experience at Aldergrove Credit Union Community Centre becomes one of the busiest spots around. Waterslides, a lazy river, spray features, and Dive-In Movie Nights in summer. Kids still have energy left after five hours, which feels mathematically impossible.

For a slower-paced afternoon, Fort Langley usually takes care of itself. Gold panning and blacksmith demos at Fort Langley National Historic Site, a walk along the river, then a stop at Maria’s Gelato before heading back to the car. (The pistachio is the one to get.)

Plan Your Summer in Langley

Twelve weeks of summer feels like a long stretch in May. By August, it never does.

Don’t overplan it. Pick a couple of stops, leave a little room in the schedule, and let the rest of the day sort itself out. A winery patio turns into dinner. A quick farm stop becomes the place you’re still talking about on the drive home.

Browse Things to Do for the full picture, check the Events Calendar for what’s happening while you’re here, and follow along on Instagram for the spots locals find before anyone else does. We’ll be here. Probably saving room for pie.

This guide is updated annually in May with the latest happenings.
