Come celebrate growing season with a self-guided tour of the Applegate Valley Wine Country. Fall is the perfect time to visit our 16 tasting rooms. The winegrapes have been picked, pressed, and barreled, and the winemakers have time to chat.
Pick your starting location, and let yourself be lured from one winery to the next. Each will offer an appetizer and wine for tasting. You’ll even get to meet some of the latest releases! Uncorked is a great opportunity to stock up on wine for upcoming gifts, or parties.
Tickets are $59 and include a commemorative Wine Trail wine glass.
Bonus: Designated drivers don’t need to purchase a ticket and may sample the food.

Simply arrive at the location you’ve chosen, and your name will be on a list to check in and start your tour. For those who have groups who want to start at the same location, please purchase your tickets early and make sure everyone chooses the same start location.
