Abbotsford Wine (formerly 'Abbotsford Wine and Brew') was started in 1995 by Rae Huber (originally from Alberta) and Mel Huber. With help from Rae's father Norm (current owner), they built what would soon be known as Abbotsford's #1 winemaking facility. However, Rae had a love for horses that couldn't long be ignored, as she relocated to Saskatchewan to raise her beloved animals. This change of plans sent the business into the hands of Norm's sons, Darren and Marlowe. Not exactly strangers to winemaking, the two brothers were at the time, running a U-Brew in Coquitlam, B.C. After several years of building upon the store's foundation, Marlowe and Darren eventually left as well. They would soon find themselves in Laguna Beach, California. Can you guess what they ended up doing? Visit www.lagunacanyonwinery.com and see for yourself! So, with Rae, Darren and Marlowe all dropping in and eventually out of Abbotsford Wine, Norm was left only to come out of retirement and run the show himself.Fast forward to today. Norm Huber is still the owner of Abbotsford Wine, the business that has been in his family for over a decade, and winner of The Abbotsford Times' Best Winemaking for the last 10 years!We don't plan on stopping anytime soon either!more...See more text
