Poplar Grove Winery Reopens Doors With New Procedures and Protocols

The Goods From Poplar Grove

Vancouver, BC | Poplar Grove re-opened on Monday, July 20 , 2020 after a 3-day temporary closure time to re-group the team and deep clean the facility. Although Interior Health did not mandate or recommend testing of contacts, all staff in direct contact with the positive individual and a number of our other staff made the decision to get tested. All tests have come back negative for COVID-19.

Poplar Grove can confirm that there have been NO additional positive cases of COVID-19 at the winery which goes to show the power of following BC provincial guidelines of physical distancing and wearing appropriate PPE. All our Poplar Grove team members will continue to wear proper PPE equipment and be temperature checked upon arriving for work.

“We are so happy to be safely welcoming guests back to the property. Due to the ever-changing landscape we now find ourselves in, we have reimagined how to better operate on our property.

Newly elevated protocols are now in place to ensure the continued safety of our guests, our staff and our community” said Tony Holler, Owner and President of Poplar Grove.

These new procedures include:

– Reservations are REQUIRED for the Tasting Room and the Restaurant at Poplar Grove

– No WALK INS for tastings or the restaurant will be accepted. Please visit the website to make a reservation.

– Drop-in purchases are still welcome. To manage the flow of guests, the host at the entrance will welcome and we will arrange for contactless pick-ups of your wines.

– The Restaurant at Poplar Grove is closed on Tuesdays for a deep cleaning.

– Group size remains at a maximum of 6 guests

– While not required, it is recommended that guests wear masks until they are settled at their restaurant table or tasting pod.

We appreciate all the understanding and continued support the community and our industry partners have shown us during this time.
