Where to eat and drink in Abbotsford

You might know Abbotsford as the hub of the Fraser Valley, but it’s quickly becoming a notable hub for foodies in search of quality eats and drinks, too.

The BC city boasts many farmers, artisans, brewers, winemakers, and merchants who are ready to show off their carefully and thoughtfully crafted goods and dishes.

From cider to charcuterie, burgers to butter chicken, Abbotsford has a culinary destination for everyone’s taste, not to mention some photo-worthy bucket list stops, if we do say so ourselves.

Here are 11 places in Abbotsford every foodie needs to visit.

Taves Estate Cidery

Loren and Corinne Taves, along with their children, operate this charming family-run farm.

Taves has a ton to offer visitors depending on what time of year you’re coming by. From harvesting apples, heirloom tomatoes, and pumpkins, to offering a truly authentic farm experience with the U-Pick options, this destination has lots to do.

Aside from Farmville, aka the hub of all the furry and feathered friends at the farm, we recommend you check out a cider tasting here.

In addition to hard cider flights, you can get a cocktail flight made using Taves’ ciders. Sip while seated at an outdoor picnic table and soak in the sights and sounds of the goats grazing nearby.
