Poplar Grove Winery

Could have been 5 stars but fell short in a couple spots. Recently dined here for my wife's birthday. The lake and valley view are amazing. The service was impeccable, with the attentive staff enhancing the overall experience. The beef carpaccio was great overall and the lamb papardelle was probably the best dish of the night. The striploin steak, though unique, deviated from the traditional preparation, leaving me with mixed feelings about its taste and texture. Instead of a nice big striploin I was presented with 2 small pieces of beef that one would question the cut if they were not on the menu. It was lacking the fat cap and a good sear/crust. It kinda looked like it was seared on each end then sliced down the middle leaving you with two thin pieces. The chocolate cake for dessert was good but also tasted like it had just been defrosted. The price point was also a bit on the high side as reflected on the bill. Also not a huge fan of the default 18% tip option or the fact that the taxes are added onto the tip calculation. I'm here to tip for good service not tip the government... Overall pretty good night. Might come again and just not order steak. I should add that the wine is also great. Definitely a good winery first and restaurant second.

Poplar Grove was to die for! The view, the wine, the staff! Andrea your my girl!! She was funny, personable. Just overall superb. Thanks for making the experience for us!!! This is my happy place. Clean and well maintained. We went at the end of the day and basically had it to ourselves. I would love tonwork their myself!!

Since we didn’t make a booking, we didn’t have the chance to taste any wine during our visit. However, we did purchase some bottles without having the opportunity to taste them, as we were not members of their club. The experience of being there without being a member or part of a booked tasting group felt a bit awkward, and it made us want to leave the place. Perhaps in the future, when we become members, we can provide better feedback about the overall experience that the establishment offers.

We went there for Mother's Day brunch this year and I was impressed by the little complimentary gestures of a coconut cookie and a glass of sparkling wine for our mom! The food was good. But let's face it, you're there for the view and it was such a beautiful day!

This place is absolutely amazing! During our stay in Penticton, my wife and I had dinner here twice and tried many different items on the menu - all of which were delicious. Though we didn't get the chef's name, they must be extremely qualified because we're really picky eaters. The portions might seem intimidating at first, but the dinner always filled us up - quality over quantity. And the wine! It's truly world-class. We tried the rose, cab franc, and viognier, and all of them were amazing. The tequila/mezcal cocktail was also a hit. Some of the best wine we've tasted in the Okanagan. Now, let's talk about the view - wow, wow, wow! We took so many pictures; it felt like heaven. The landscape is breathtaking. We'll miss this place until our next visit 🥂."
