Grape juice magically transforms into wine in the same way milk becomes cheese and a 1972 Dodge Dart becomes an even older 1972 Dodge Dart. Tipple the tasty transformation with today's Groupon: for $25, you get a winery tour and tasting for two, two glasses of wine, and an artisanal cheese platter to enjoy on the premises, as well as a bottle of wine to take home from The Fort Wine Co. in Langley (up to a $59 total value).
Since its inception in 2001, The Fort Wine Co. has been smashing up berries and their kin for its 11 rich varieties of palate-pinching fruit wines. While you and a companion tour the premises where cranberries, blackberries, strawberries, and other seeded wonders meet their delectable destinies, take time to sit and sip a glass of wine paired with an artisanal cheese platter. Should your companion not pass muster, let a bottle of The Fort Wine Co.'s fervid fermentations—such as the award-winning Saucy Cranberries dessert wine or crisp, apple-and-pear-infused Keremeos—accompany you to your door instead.

- They have lovely wines, and the fruit vintages are just exceptional. Their store is beautiful and very clean and inviting. – Inga K., Yelp
- Very good place to visit, and the really nice thing about their wines is that they all taste like the fruit they come from - not a "hint of raspberry", but fresh raspberry. – Leilah T., Yelp
