"
The World of Wine Festival (WOW) is the
Rogue Valley's premier wine event -- showcasing outstanding wines made
exclusively with Southern Oregon grapes. WOW showcases the expertise of
local wine grape growers and the creativity of regional winemakers with
a delicious array of gourmet foods and live music prepared by Southern
Oregon’s premier restaurants and artisan producers.
This year’s event, which is
sponsored by the Rogue Valley Winegrowers Association (RVWA) and the
Southern Oregon Winery Association (SOWA) will be held outdoors under a
festive and spacious tent in the middle of picturesque Del Rio Vineyard
near Gold Hill, Oregon. Cooled by evening breezes, festival guests will
be able to sample the finest wines from over 40 Southern Oregon
wineries, while enjoying a delicious assortment of artisan foods,
cheeses and desserts from the many outstanding restaurants and artisan
producers throughout Southern Oregon. Attendees may also dance to live
music or relax under the stars in an alfresco seating area outside the
tent.
The
World of Wine Festival is a unique and wonderful opportunity to meet
many of the region’s winemakers and talk to them about their commitment
to quality that is gaining national acclaim for Southern Oregon wines.
Once
again, a Silent Auction will be held to benefit the continued efforts
of our “non-profit” organizations to build awareness for Southern
Oregon wines, while preserving the unique agricultural heritage of our
small-family vineyards and wineries."
