Poplar Grove Winery is a boutique winery located on the slopes of the Naramata Bench, a wine growing area in the heart of British Columbia, Canada. Ian Sutherland started the winery in 1993 with a vision to make wines that reflect the spirit of the Okanagan Valley and a mandate to guide the winemaking process with little or no manipulation. On July 1st, 2011, the doors to Poplar Grove’s brand new, 9500 square foot, state-of-the-art winery opened. Designed to intertwine with the natural landscape and topography, the new winery space is home to a working winery, showcase barrel hall, expansive tasting room and one of the finest views the Okanagan Valley has to offer.

In 2007, Tony Holler became Poplar Grove’s majority owner & President. Ian Sutherland & Barrie Sali completed this newly defined ownership team. The Holler family brought with them 110 acres of prime vineyard sites located throughout the Southern Okanagan Valley which allows Poplar Grove wines to be made from 100% estate grown fruit. The viticulture team supports the estate vineyards by practicing a sustainable farming program that works with the complexity and variability of the individual vineyards resulting in grapes that are the optimum expression of the local terroir.

Poplar Grove is focused on six core wines: Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and a signature blend called The Legacy. Each year, the grapes are hand picked & hand sorted to guarantee that only the finest fruit makes it into the ferment. A barrel aging and bottle cellaring program have been implemented to ensure the wines are released when they are ready to drink. Poplar Grove white wines are released the year following harvest to preserve the primary fruit flavours. The red wines spend a minimum of 18 months maturing in French Oak barrels and an additional 18 – 30 months developing in the bottle so that they can be enjoyed upon release.
