Bi-monthly gatherings provide a forum for Southern Oregon wineries to educate other wineries about their wines/wineries and to learn from those wineries what is happening in our region! Our goal is to help us all become better ambassadors of the Southern Oregon Wine Region. This translates to a better consumer experience and enhanced tourism, wine recognition and wine sales. We hope you will join us!
