3 weeks agoSuch a great winery and restaurant! We arrived early so we could start with a stellar wine tasting in the cozy Legacy Room (request it if it's available). Menu prices here are reasonable, and the setting is intimate with pano views of the Naramata bench and valley. The wines are excellent, especially the Benchmark, Reserve Chardonnay, and Malbec. We just became wine club members, so we now get a discount on both wines and restaurant meals. Love this place!

5 months agoA wonderful wheelchair accessible winery with stunning views. The space is open and bright, with a high-end feel. We had a couple of plates to share which were super flavourful (scallops and farm greens). We had been recommended the honey milk buns but sadly they are only a dinner time feature. The wine was great and it was the perfect spot for a slow lunch. Highly recommend.

The winery itself is beautiful and boasts fabulous views, a perfect atmosphere to enjoy these incredibly crafted wines. I will be back to try the amazing brunch menu they present.

7 months agoThe restaurant hit it out of the park last night for my companion and me. First, the location and setup and sheer elegance of the space (both inside and out) are hard to beat. The servers were down to earth, knowledgeable, attentive. And the food…we ate and enjoyed every single bite (I had the beef carpaccio and the oyster mushroom pasta). Unlike at many fine dining establishments, the portions are considerable, which is especially nice when the food is of such high quality (including very local), inventive and just plain delicious that you just don’t want to get to the last bite in any hurry. Poplar Grove is hands down my favourite restaurant in this area and will from now on be my go-to for all special occasions and when a dining treat is needed!

7 months agoSuch an amazing experience. Aaron helped us with mine and my girlfriends tasting. Came from Vancouver as I am a server and wanted to learn about the wine! Learned so much about the poplar grove wines! The views from both the outside and the window was absolutely stunning. Amazing location for food as well we didn’t eat there but excellent menu and wonderful views and service! I learned so much from Aaron and I’ve never signed up for bottles of wine to my door but when I do (which will be soon) my first order will be poplar grove ! Thank you for making my first time memorable Aaron! Such immense service and help with everything
