The Richmond Sunflower Festival is Acres of Beautiful Flowers

Join me in a virtual walk through 15 acres of flowers

Armchair and virtual travel offer us a way to escape our homes and explore another part of the world. I didn’t plan on writing a post about my visit to the Richmond Sunflower Festival. However, after I spent the afternoon there, I decided that I had to share its beauty with you!

I invite you to join me in touring through acres of both sunflowers and dahlias, followed by a wine tasting at the Richmond sunflower festival. Let’s have some fun while curbing your wanderlust! Why don’t you go and pour yourself a glass, pull up a chair and get comfy. I’ll wait …

Ready? Okay then, let’s get started with your virtual tour through acres of beautiful flowers.

Just browsing, pin this post for later!

Dutch Carnival dahlila — Every row of flowers had signs describing all of the different varieties of dahlia’s

Kat and Ori by truck and beautiful sign — Make today beautiful – ’nuff said

Stunning white dahlia — Dahlia’s are one of my favourite flowers and this stunning white one caught my attention

Woman sitting in adirondak chair surrounded by flowers — Sitting in a sea of colourful dahlia’s

Woman sitting on a bicycle in a field of flowers — There were so many different props set up throughout the 15 acres for photo-ops

Honeybee on a sunflower — It was amazing to see all the honeybees working away on the flowers

Woman sitting on a large tractor — The tractors were my favourite prop to sit on, even though it was a challenge getting up there in my sundress 😉

Woman standing in a field of tall sunflowers — Nothing like standing beneath a sea of tall sunflowers to make a person feel small

Country Vines Wine Tasting at the Richmond Sunflower Festival

Located at the heart of this farm is the Estate Winery, Country Vines. The entrance ticket includes a tasting and 30% off a bottle of wine. That’s definitely a deal too good to pass up!

I hope you enjoyed our stroll through towering sunflowers and vibrant dahlias. If you’re looking for more virtual travel, check out my post for visiting VanDusen botanical garden.

Until we can safely travel again, I hope you’ll join me for future armchair travels. If you have any requests, let me know in the comments below. I’m always happy to hear from you!

At the time of publishing, the Richmond Sunflower festival is still going on. If you’re local to the Vancouver area, I highly recommend checking it out before it closes for the season.
