The Applegate River flows north, with its source near the California border, then turns west at Ruch, not far from Quady North, eventually flowing into the Rogue River west of Grants Pass. Along its path, tree lined hills rise abruptly from the valley floor, with views to the Siskiyou mountains beyond.
Bucolic pastures with grazing animals, organic farms and farm stands predominate, with a few small cafe’s, stores and restaurants. The Applegate Wine trail features eighteen wineries, each with their own unique personality.

the applegate a.v.a.
Established in 2000, the Applegate AVA is located in the Southwest corner of Oregon, entirely within the Rogue AVA. Most of the Valley runs East to West, allowing for many south-facing slopes on gentle hillsides and benches. The region is known for its Rhône varieties and blends, but many other varieties grow well here too, including Spanish and Bordeaux varieties. Low vigor, granitic soils predominate, and afternoon winds arrive like clockwork in the Summer. These factors, as well as the cool nights, create optimal winegrowing conditions, including natural acidity, lower sugars (meaning less alcohol), low pest-pressures, and vibrant flavors.
