As a couple, we thoroughly enjoyed sharing both the Mixed light and Red Flight Win samplers. This was also our first chance to sample an "orange" wine, and Troon's Kubli Bench Amber, Estate blend was unusual and enjoyable!

This lovely winery with a scenic view down over the Applegate Valley would be a fine destination just for its excellent wines and its enticing patio areas (some of them covered) and a big fire pit. But what really surprises here is that this is believed to be the very first winery in the United States that also makes its own cheeses and its own meats too -- what a concept! Talk about eating and drinking "local." Wooldridge Creek is an enviable place, with friendly and helpful staff, where it is easy to wile away an hour or two in utter rural bliss, as we did.

Right off I-5 as you enter Grants Pass you can’t miss the Visitor Bureau in the right. There’s a lovely carved welcome sign with bears, giants and more. It’s worth the stop for maps, brochures and info in the redwoods, Oregon Coast or more.
