Del Rio Vineyards — Local services in Central Point

I went to Del Rio a decade ago and was unimpressed. I returned yesterday and found both their whites and their reds to be excellent. In a state in which Pinot Grigio is the second most-planted grape, Del Rio's is one of the best I've ever had: almost Alsatian, with lots of spice and a wonderful nose. But I defy anyone to go to Del Rio and not find multiple wines that he or she would enjoy.

EDIT: We returned yesterday, but this time focused on the reds. The Merlot seemed tasteless when we first tried it, but it then opened up nicely into a fruit-forward wine with some wonderful spiciness after about five minutes. The Pinot Noir was another worthy addition to the list of Southern Oregon Pinots (who says you have to go to the Willamette Valley?) The Malbec was well-balanced and tasty. Our two favorites were the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Claret (roughly half Merlot, rounded out with Cab Sauv and Cab Franc). Both were delicious, but I'm going to give each of them another 4-5 years...

This is a gorgeous Vinyard! Not a wine lover unless its a dessert wine, so the flight tasting for me was less than thrilling. It's 5 sour, very dry wine glasses 1 rose, 1 white, 3 red 🍷. We drank the rose, took 1 sip of the remaining 4 choices and concluded our day, leaving the wine at the Vinyard. It was an experience. A very busy day on the Vinyard with a wedding in the garden and many guest coming and going from the farmhouse tasting room and grassy entertainment/relaxation area. For the wine lovers it is likely a more climactic experience, as noted, this was a busy day on the Vinyard. If you're a beginner or a dessert wine lover, maybe not a great choice of Vinyard for your palate. We purchased a Zip,Dip,Sip tour with a day long adventure of fun (all activities we had never done before - zipline, white water rafting, wine tasting). It was a great experience and this was a perfect ending! More stars if there is a Moscato bottle available for...

I recently attended a winter Creative Crafting class at Del Rio Winery, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! My friends and I have always enjoyed their summertime activities, but this winter event truly exceeded our expectations. We sipped on their delicious 2023 Vineyard Road Cuvée while learning to create beautiful pumpkin floral arrangements, and it was the perfect blend of creativity and relaxation.

The staff at Del Rio are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making everyone feel welcome and supported throughout the class. Their passion for both wine and crafting really shone through, and it made our girls' night out even more memorable.

If you’re looking for a fun and unique experience, I highly recommend attending one of Del Rio’s events. We can’t wait to come back for more! Thank you, Del Rio Winery, for such a...
