Five stars,...

Sound & Vision is one of the best wineries in the Rogue Valley.

First and foremost, they produce incredible wine. It’s rare to genuinely enjoy every selection on a tasting menu, but they find a way to make it happen with every new release. The wines are smooth, balanced, minimally processed, and distinctive. They’re also interesting. It’s not just a line-up of pinot noirs with a merlot finisher, they make a serious effort to utilize varietals you don’t see much around here. This little place is pushing the local wine scene forward for the better.

Second, the location is comfortable and inviting. There is no pretension whatsoever. You can be a first-time taster, and they will gladly take the time to explain the story and process behind each wine. The tasting room is elevated casual, there are drink options for folks who don’t drink wine or alcohol at all, and they offer some great food if you’re in the mood for a snack.

Finally, Joe and Carmen, the husband and wife who own Sound & Vision, are fantastic. They raise and harvest many of the grapes, they make the wine, they staff the tasting room and take care of all the other things needed to run a high-caliber winery. When you go in, you get the chance to talk to people who are truly passionate about what they do and will learn a lot about the wine-making process. They’re also enthusiastic advocates for other small winemakers in the area and beyond. Thanks to them, my wife and I have been introduced to tons of fantastic wine that we may have never discovered otherwise.

LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this place! The wine? Spectacular! Give me all of them. Snacks? Delish! Arlo the sweet Boston Terrier who greets you at the door? Adorable! By far, my favorite wine in the valley and my favorite spot to hang.

I find myself drawn to Sound & Vision frequently because everything is just immaculate - I thoroughly enjoy every wine I've tasted (and I'm picky), the tasting room vibes are superb (music is always on point), and equally as important, I'm huge fans of the owners/winemaker Carmen and Joseph, who put their hearts and souls into every aspect of Sound & Vision every single day and the experience you have there proves it. C & J are always happy to take time to explain their wine and how they've created it, so I've learned quite a bit during my visits. Together they've created a fun and approachable tasting room for the community and fans like me are so grateful for it.

Keep doin' what you're doin',...
