    This Southern Oregon region is home to the Rogue Valley American Viticultural Area, recently named the #2 Best Wine Region in the United States by USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards.

    From over 70 wine varietals to craft breweries, fertile farmlands, and seasonal events, Medford offers a delicious mix of flavors and experiences. It’s also the hometown of two culinary legends: the world-famous Harry & David, known for gourmet gift baskets and artisanal treats, and the award-winning Rogue Creamery, celebrated for its world-class blue cheese. You can also visit Crater Lake National Park, a breathtaking natural wonder and perfect picnic destination.

    The conversation highlights how the region blends winemaking innovation with deep-rooted traditions, supports sustainable agriculture, and embraces the beauty of each season—especially in the fall.
