Poplar Grove
Penticton city council is giving its support to the idea of a boutique hotel in a vineyard on the Naramata Bench.
Tony and Barbara Holler, owners of Poplar Grove Winery, are hoping to build a 20-room, four-storey hotel on a piece of land adjacent to their winery at 468 Lower Bench Rd.
The land is zoned for agriculture but is not being farmed. The home on the property contains two guest suites, used for vacation rental. The Hollers are not asking for a rezoning, but rather an amendment adding a hotel to the permitted uses of the property and support for their non-farm use application made to the Agricultural Land Commission.
