The Rogue Valley Voted #2 Best Wine Region

The Rogue Valley was voted #2 best wine region in the country by USA Today in a recent Reader’s Choice poll. RoxyAnn Winery is centrally located in the Rogue Valley and proud to be part of this diverse wine region. The Rogue Valley AVA consists of 3 distinct valleys that can grow both cool and warm climate varietals. Popular grapes grown in this region include Chardonnay and Pinot Gris and multiple red varietals including Oregon’s most widely grown, Pinot Noir, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Syrah, Malbec, and more!

Not only can you find a wide variety of grapes grown here, another of the main reasons that the Rogue Valley was voted #2 Best Wine Region, is that there are also many outdoor activities to enjoy in this beautiful pocket of Southern Oregon. You can visit Crater Lake National Park, the Wild and Scenic Rogue River, or the nearby Oregon Coast by day. Then sip Rogue Valley wines later that afternoon or evening. Additionally, the Oregon Shakespeare festival is located in nearby Ashland, and historic mining town, Jacksonville, is also a great place to shop and enjoy fine dining. The Rogue Valley has a little of everything to offer visitors.
