Available ONLY at the missionrenfaire while supplies last!

You may have noticed a big change here at the w**ery…we have completed our Wildfire Preparedness upgrades that we started a year ago. The safety of our community and responsibility to do our part to mitigate damage potential in our community is a part of being good neighbours. Thank you to the Wildfire Preparedness experts and the Investment Agriculture Foundation for guiding us through this process.

Now….come on by and check it out (and try our w**e too!😉)

The Realm is quiet once more.
The laughter has faded.
The dragons have flown home.
The last glass has been raised.

Thank you to everyone who made our inaugural Festina Renaissance & Fantasy Faire such an unforgettable weekend.

We'll see you in 2027 when we do it again!

Already planning for next year!!

After a few days of rest and recovery, our quest at the inaugural Festina Lente Estate Winery Renaissance & Fantasy Faire has come to an end, and what an incredible adventure it was!

To everyone who stopped by our booth—whether you adopted a dragon, discovered a tiny treasure, shared a laugh, or simply stopped to chat—thank you. Your support means the world to our little workshop, and meeting so many fellow adventurers made this weekend truly unforgettable.

A heartfelt thank you also goes to the amazing hosts at Festina Lente Estate Winery for creating such a magical event. From the music and merriment to the incredible vendors and welcoming atmosphere, it was an honour to be part of the Faire's very first chapter.

Of course, no quest ends without unlocking a few new ideas. We've already begun dreaming up new creations, planning an even more immersive booth, and expanding our collection to better suit the realm. We can't wait to return next year with even more dragons, treasures, and surprises.

Until our paths cross again, may your adventures be many and your hoards ever growing!

The w**ery is getting a facelift! Like many businesses in communities around BC, we are making changes to our properties to reduce our risk from wildfire and extreme weather.
We ARE open for business during this process and we look forward to showing you our beautiful and practical results!

We thank Thee!
What a weekend!! As the last tents came down, the final wagon rolled away, and the vineyard became quiet once again, we found ourselves reflecting on what an incredible few days we shared together.
To the approximately 2,400 guests who journeyed to Festina Lente over the weekend...Thank you.

To every family who laughed together...
To every adventurer who searched for runes...
To every knight, fairy, wizard, pirate, dragon, and plague survivor...
To everyone who raised a glass, danced to the music, cheered the performers, and supported our wonderful artisans...You made the very first Festina Renaissance & Fantasy Faire something truly special.

To our incredible volunteers...You welcomed guests with smiling faces, helped wherever needed, kept everything running smoothly, and represented Festina Lente with kindness and generosity from beginning to end.

We simply could not have done this without you.

To our talented musicians, performers, Dungeon Masters, demonstrators, food vendors, artisans, and exhibitors...Thank you for sharing your passion, your creativity, and your incredible talents with everyone who attended. You transformed our little corner of Langley into a magical kingdom for an unforgettable weekend.

One of the things that touched us most was the care everyone showed for our property. The grounds were left remarkably clean, people treated one another with kindness and respect, and the sense of community throughout the weekend was something truly special.

It was everything we hoped this event could become.

This was our very first Renaissance & Fantasy Faire...It certainly won't be our last.
We already have ideas brewing for next year, and we cannot wait to welcome you back to the Realm once again.

Until then...Thank you for believing in this new adventure.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Teresa & Bill Townsley

⚜️ Long Live the Realm.
