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 (SORWA)
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. 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. Only 500
tickets are available and WOW always sells out. Tickets are $75 each and can be
purchased starting June 1, 2010. Please check The World of
Wine Festival website for further information. Adults $8, Children 6 to 12 years is $3 and 5 and

4th
Annual Ride the Rogue A Southern Oregon Cycling
Adventure! 9/18/2010 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM Join us for the 4th Annual Ride the Rogue
Event on Saturday, September 18th, 2010 at Palmerton
Park in Rogue River, Oregon.
This year’s event offers exciting new ride routes, gourmet feast, live music
and lots of fun and activities for the whole family to enjoy.
All rides and hikes take you through stunning areas of natural beauty and
colorful history. From the majestic Table Rocks of Sam’s Valley, the sparkling
Rogue River, the vineyards of Applegate
Valley and the lush splendor of Evans Valley,
the experience will be one you won’t soon forget.
You won’t want to miss the post race celebration at the Palmerton Park Arboretum,
a beautiful park nestled along the banks of sparkling Evans Creek. Big trees,
green lawns, a pedestrian suspension bridge and the friendly and supportive
community make this an amazing place to hold the RTR event. This is also why we
limit the amount of riders to 1200 as this location is special and it would be
difficult to replace without losing the true quality of the experience.
Ride the Rogue is more than a ride or hike, it showcases the splendor of Southern Oregon’s incredible beauty, it’s people and
epicurean delights. All proceeds support the development of the Rogue River Recreational Corridor
and Greenway project.
For more information, please visit The Ride the Rogue website.
