Located in a wonderful old Government building, that if I remember right as a kid growing up out Harvard in the 50s and 60s, was a Naval Reserve building, originally part of the Oregon Soldiers home, I think. The rooms and hallways inside this well-kept building are covered with displays of mixed media art featuring local artists. The displays are ever changing, so it is worth multiple visits in the course of a year. Further down in this review, this site required that I give the date of my first visit and limits me to just 2019 dates. I was forced to pick one although it is far from the correct answer. I have been regularly visiting here probably in excess of 25 years. It is a wonderful venue for a non profit venture so I donate $20 every time I visit and a much larger year-end donation. You will like this place, so please donate like I do to help keep it going.

Oran Mor Artisan Meadery

Reviewed By 683amieh - Denver, United States

We visited in a Saturday afternoon and split a full tasting of the 8 options available. Michael took us through the tasting. He was very thorough and informative. The mead is some of the best I’ve had. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. I highly recommend new mead discoverers and seasoned mead drinkers to try Oran Mor. They exceeded out expectations and we bought almost one of each bottle available. Their descriptions are spot on and they have shipping options available if you’re not local.

Lemolo Falls

Reviewed By leonardh124 - Roseburg, United States

We were able to take this hike in early July when the Washington Lilies were starting to bloom. Their fragrance was heavy in the air. They should last until the end of the month. We hiked here in May and numerous trees were down across the trail then. Only the first half of the trail has been cleared this time. 8 cars were parked at the trailhead, but it was no problem keeping our physical distance on the 1.5 mile trail.

We were staying nearby, and after reading all the wonderful reviews, decided to check out Melrose Vineyards. We are so glad that we did! The tasting room and grounds are beautiful, with several parking options available for a future visit with our 40ft 5th wheel (Melrose is a Harvest Host member). The wines available for tasting were extensive, but we chose to stick with reds and were not disappointed. We loved them all, so hard to choose a favorite. Highly recommend the dolcetto and the baco noir. Carrie, the wine maker’s wife and our lovely server, was quite knowledgeable and fun to hang out with. We can’t wait to come back with our rig for a longer visit.????

Girardet Vineyards & Winery

Visitors are invited to experience one of Oregon's oldest wine estates. Founders Philippe & Bonnie Girardet established this European-style estate on slopes outside of Roseburg, in 1971. Second generation Winemaker, Marc Girardet, was taught by his father, Philippe, and is carrying on the passion for handcrafting extraordinary wines with a touch of the Old World.

I visited this winery many years ago and have remembered it since. Recently I wanted to know the name of a dessert wine they used to offer, learned that they no longer bottle dessert wines and they let me know of similar wines they do have. This process was handled with great understanding rather than 'oh here is someone who can't remember and is a pest'. I was delighted to interact with these folks years ago, and that same joy is what I experienced now. Their wine tastings are an experience all their own! Wonderful wines, great people, and a lot of class!

HillCrest Winery and Distillery

Oregon's oldest estate winery and the birthplace of Oregon Pinot Noir. In 2014 HillCrest was recognized by the state of Oregon and in Vienna, Austria for its global contributions to the world of fine wine. In 2003 the DeMara family, with over 36 years of winemaking and grape growing around the world, took over from the Father of Oregon wine and HillCrest founder Richard Sommer. Today they specialize in classic European varieties from France, Spain and Germany crafted using the very best of old world techniques. These include the use of patented concrete fermentors for reds, extended ageing of 2-7 years and dry farming. The DeMaras invite you to taste in their tasting room which is opened every day of the year minus the big 4 holidays. There is usually a selection of 8-9 wines that are available for tasting with many more wines for sale from the wineries library. These wines are only sold here at the winery.

Went on an Umpqua Valley wine tour with a group of wonderful ladies this weekend. Hillcrest was our first stop and so glad it was on the list. The wine tasting experience was relaxed and so enjoyable. Jennifer was exceptionally friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the wines and history of the winery. I had no idea this was the very first winery in Oregon and birthplace of the pinot grape! The delicious wines and enjoyable conversation with Jennifer lead me to purchase a couple of bottles for home, and also had Jennifer ship a couple of bottles to family! Would definitely recommend Hillcrest as the first stop on your list for those visiting vineyards in the Umpqua Valley! Thank you Jennifer!
