A visit to a winery in Southern Oregon can involve much more than just tasting wine. You’ll want to explore Crater Lake, the mighty Rogue and Umpqua Rivers along the Rogue Umpqua Scenic Byway, and chase a waterfall or two, visiting the wineries of Southern Oregon along the way.
Umpqua Valley is the cradle of modern Oregon fine wine. The “100 Valleys of Umpqua” are filled with lush rolling vineyards, over 30 wineries growing 50+ varieties and a cast of diverse winemakers all exploring and crafting some of the finest wines in the Pacific Northwest. Come and taste Umpqua Valley Wines
While the Applegate Valley AVA is a well-established wine appellation, the region adds up to more than vineyards and tasting rooms. In fact, a simple drive through the region is a joy in itself. Travel the Applegate Wine Trail on highways graced with historic hand-hewn barns, granddaddy oaks, roadside wildflowers and glimpses of the Applegate River.
Nestled within the Rogue Valley AVA—part of the broader Southern Oregon AVA—the Applegate Valley AVA is home to the Applegate Valley Vintners Association, a collective of 18 distinct wineries. Together, they craft an impressive range of high-quality, hand-crafted wines, helping establish the region as one of the most compelling and dynamic wine destinations in the West.
