Recently named a top 12 global wine region to visit by Forbes, Southern Oregon is home to more than 150 wineries that combine exceptional soil with ideal growing conditions to produce a wide range of award-winning varietals. Our boutique vineyards offer handcrafted wines ready for your tasting and indulgence.

Artisan foods are the perfect complement to the region’s wines and include Rogue Creamery’s prized cheese, named “Best in the World” at competitions in England, France and New York Tour Harry and David, the world’s largest gourmet gift basket producer and delight in its famous Moose Munch. Plus, you’ll want to experience mouth watering handmade chocolates from Lillie Belle Farms.

Over 200 days of sunshine enrich the breathtaking terrain of Southern Oregon, including the wild Rogue River, gorgeous waterfalls and lush greenery. Outdoor enthusiasts can take in the sights while jetboating or rafting, hiking, biking, ziplining, golfing, world-class fishing and more.

Home to some of the best live performances on the west coast, Medford and the Rogue Valley offer Tony Award-winning productions at Oregon Shakespeare Festival, top headliners on an open air stage at Jacksonville’s Britt Festival and inspiring performances at the Craterian in Medford.
