20-plus-year internship program where the interns and Abacela team
members expand each other’s horizons and knowledge. This year’s
interns are from Spain, Portugal, France and Switzerland. Don’t be
surprised if you find Greg, who calls himself the “maintenance guy,”
in the tasting room. He’ll be quick to share his favorite new release,
tell a memorable story, or even talk about why Decanter magazine calls
Abacela, “Oregon’s most interesting vineyard property.”

SO MANY CHOICES

With close to 200 tasting rooms in Southern Oregon to choose from,
there’s something for everyone. The four we highlighted are from all
parts of our region and all have their unique personalities. One thing’s
for certain though – you’ll receive a family-style welcome at each one.
And you can rest assured that the next generation is carrying on tradi-
tion while adding their own special touches.
