My Favorite in the Rogue Valley because of the owners, incredible wine and the amazing staff! The Vineyard backs my property and unlike "the woman" who complained about the vineyard being so close to her home, this makes it, ever more special for us!!
Russ and Margaret are brilliant wine makers who we now consider part of our family...Salute'

If there is a better selection of Wines anywhere else in the Southern Oregon wine Region I would say you will have a hard time finding one that compares to Daisy Creek! Neighborhood Winery that was just what we were looking for!

Socially-distanced tables underneath apple trees with a view and n the vineyards & live music in the middle. No tasting flights right now but I was dithering between 2, told the waitress which ones I was debating between, & asked her advice. She selected one (which I accepted) and brought me a taste of the other to compare. Lovely wines & lovely service! (I gave 4 stars rather than 5 because 1 of the servers was wearing her mask under her nose)
