It’s been said that a struggling vine makes the best wine.
My dream to bring a fine dining wine bar to Chilliwack sprouted during a time of world-wide turbulence. Amid flooding, ice storms, delays, and closures, I certainly felt the struggle to bring this dream to life!
While contemplating names for the wine bar, I thought about wine terminology. Fortified wine is wine that has been made stronger through adding distilled spirits. This resonated with me as I knew I was going to become a stronger person through the challenges of pursuing this dream.
Fortitude means courage in pain or adversity, and this word seemed to perfectly represent not just my journey, but our collective journey of moving towards a place of gathering and joy again.
We look forward to welcoming you in to Fortitude Wine Bar, our place of gratitude, joy, and resilience.

our location
Located in Downtown Chilliwack
Chilliwack’s downtown core has received a lot of love these past few years, and has become a diverse and beautiful place to eat, shop, and do business in the Fraser Valley. Our city has welcomed several breweries, and it seemed like the right time to provide our community with the unique experience of a wine bar. There’s no better place to shop local, eat local, and drink local, than here in District 1881.
