JOEL ROGERS Melrose Vineyards Umpqua Valley Where promise meets experience. The Umpqua Valley’s patchwork of forested mountains, cool rivers and peaceful valleys makes it a dynamic place for winemaking — and wine tasting. From the Pinot noirs of the cool maritime north end to the Merlots and Tempranillos of the southern region, this area makes a wine for every palate. Sip your favorite varietal at a family-owned winery after a scenic riverside drive, fly-fishing the Umpqua or antiquing in small towns. By Annelise Kelly OREGON WINE TOURING GUIDE 45
