What is the World of Wine Festival?

The World of Wine Festival is Southern Oregon’s premier wine event showcasing the outstanding wines made exclusively with Southern Oregon grapes. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, August 28th from 5-9 p.m. at Del Rio Vineyards in Gold Hill.

In its eighth year, World of Wine highlights the expertise of local wine grape growers and the creativity of regional winemakers. Over forty wineries will be in attendance pouring wines to pair with a delicious array of gourmet foods prepared by local artisan producers and renowned restaurants.

A professional judged wine competition will also take place prior to the festival with medalists announced in time to taste at the event.

Winery:

• Going through and doing bench blends program by program

• Making blends on the bench
• Blending from barrel to tank

• Refilling barrels with blended wine

Vineyard:

• In the vineyard:

• We are shoot thinning, suckering, and mowing right now, and expect to be nearly finished with our first pass of shoot thinning this week.
• Flowering is quite late this year, which also puts our projected harvest to be late – with (on average) 16 weeks from flowering to picking we are looking at harvest in mid to late October

Thank you for your support!
