A wine tasting room and social house could be coming to On the Farm.
The owner of Cloudburst Café and the Locavore Food Truck, Steve Moir of Score Enterprises, is behind the proposal for 1861 Mamquam Rd.
Alcoholic beverage manufacturing would also be allowed on the site if the rezoning ultimately gets council’s nod.
“Our goal, if successful with the application, is to operate a very small scale wine manufacturing business within the property that will facilitate a wine bar and tasting room to compliment the social house operations,” Moir told The Squamish Chief.
Cloudburst Café would also move and expand in the southwest corner building on the site. The Locovore would move to a new outdoor seating area.
A public hearing on rezoning for the proposal is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 7. Council passed first and second reading of the rezoning on Dec. 20.
“I quite like it,” said Coun. Ted Prior of the proposal. Coun. Karen Elliott also liked what she saw.
“I think this would be an improvement,” she said.
The proposal will also have to go through an application process with the province’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch.
The On the Farm store and garden centre closed its doors in September 2015.
