#BCWINE – Breaking Ground

After years of anticipation, we are thrilled to announce that we have begun building our new winery!

The Excitement Is Building

Perched on Penticton’s landmark Munson Mountain, we have begun what will be our Naramata Bench showcase winery. With views from Skaha Lake to Peachland, the new facility will feature a tasting room, barrel hall, patio & dining room with an outdoor events area.

With the earthworks and building platform completed, we begin the foundations of the winery. We are scheduled to be completed and ready for our grand opening in June 2011.

This year the Poplar Grove tasting room and our generous tasting room visitors have been raising funds for the South Okanagan Women in Need Society (SOWINS). Our goal this year was $10,000.00 in tasting fee dontations and we are thrilled to announce that we met our goal!

Thank you to everyone who came to our tasting room and gave so much to those in need; you have made it a warmer winter for the women of the South Okanagan.

Legacy

(noun)

1. Something of great value handed down from an ancestor or a predecessor or from the past.

2. A fantastic 2005 wine of great value handed down from Poplar Grove for 25% less than the usual price.

In a fit of generosity, we are offering our Wine Club members our 2005 Legacy by the case (12 bottles) at a 25% reduction. We love our ’05 Legacy and have been keeping it close to hand but it’s now time to cut the apron strings and allow others to enjoy this artisanal artistry.
