One of the many parts I enjoy in my position of Oregon Wine Competition Coordinator is visiting many of the wineries thru out Oregon. It is wonderful to share the details of the OWC and the Oregon State Fair with Marketing Directors, Winemakers, Tasting Room Managers and the Owners of the wineries.
Recently I have visited a few in the Columbia Gorge and Willamette Valley. With each visit I learn more about the many varietals that are being crafted by the talented winemakers. As you start planning your Memorial Day tasting please be sure to visit these wineries and taste!
Columbia Gorge - Wy'East Vineyards, Phelps Creek Vineyards, Pheasant Valley Winery, Viento, Marchesi Vineyards, The Pines, Cathedral Ridge and Springhouse Cellar.
Willamette Valley - Stoller Vineyard, Penner-Ash, Natalie's Estate, Ayoub Wines, Daedalus Cellars, Thistle, Dusky Goose and Cooper Mountain Vineyards.
Of course there are many more Oregon Wineries I could recommend in the Willamette Valley, Lane County, Umpqua Valley and Southern Oregon.
What are your Memorial Day suggestions?

Eight Rogue Valley wineries are taking part in this first-annual passport tour, including RoxyAnn, Folin Cellars and Del Rio Vineyard. The $20 admission fee buys you tastes at all of them, as well as appetizers. Great deal to check out some of the best Southern Oregon wineries.
