Wine of Southern Oregon

This growing collection contains wine bottle labels, photographs, and miscellanea generously contributed by participating area vineyards, wineries, and individuals connected to Southern Oregon's wine industry. These materials document the important history and contemporary culture of grape growing and wine production in the Southern Oregon American Viticultural Area (AVA), including the Bear Creek Valley, Applegate Valley, Rogue Valley, Illinois Valley, and Umpqua Valley.

Contributions to the Wine of Southern Oregon Collection are made accessible digitally and/or preserved physically in Special Collections. If interested in contributing wine-related items to Hannon Library Special Collections, please email libdigi@sou.edu.

This collection has been developed thanks to grant funding from the Erath Family Foundation and the Rogue Valley Winegrowers Association, and the material support of Dr. Willard Brown, MJ Daspit and Eric Weisinger for permission to use images from their book, Rogue Valley Wine (Arcadia, 2011), Maureen Flanagan Battistella, and Dr. Gregory V. Jones.
