"We had lunch at Poplar Grove, and it was a wonderful experience. The place had EV chargers, which was super convenient. The view was amazing, and we enjoyed the warm sunlight while dining. We ordered the Mafalde, risotto, and local apple juice — everything was delicious. For dessert, we had the panna cotta, which was very nice. Our server, Bailey, was very friendly and nice to us. Highly recommended!"

"Lovely experience here. Our first time at this Winery as a family, we had lunch (burger, spring pea risotto, mushroom mafalde and fried chicken) there and also a wine tasting. The mushroom mafalde was the favourite dish by far and the tasting was great as well. Bria was our server and Andrea was our wine tasting specialist, both very sweet and professional ladies! Ambience 10/10, people 10/10, food 9/10. A must visit :)"

"We were in Penticton to cheer on family for the triathlon and then we went to the Poplar Grove winery. We went there because they have an amazing view, are close to the city and have wine and a restaurant. My wife loved their wine, and I loved their wild BC salmon lunch plate . The salmon had a great flavour and the farro salad had a wonderful crunch to it. The portion size was a bit small for me and I would have loved it to be a bit larger since it tasted so good! We got in with no reservation on a Monday but I suggest you get a reservation since it’s a gorgeous winery and setting!"
