The Rogue Valley is one of those places not many people know about and the locals like to keep it…read morethat way. A transplant town(s)for many Californians and home to generations of locals, this valley is full of back to nature, anti-establishment, mind your business and I will mind mine, type of folks. From Grants Pass, known for it's climate, home of my personal favorite, Dutch Bros Coffee and the iconic Hellgate Canyon down to Ashland's very own Shakespeare Festival, the historic Jacksonville's Britt Festival and pathway to Applegate lake and it's growing wine country, across the valley to Eagle Point and Shady Cove with some of the best cold water rafting you will find. This is truly a hidden treasure. It's not a booming metropolis in terms of monetary standards, but for someone in search of nature, fresh mountain air, clean rivers and lakes, Southern Oregon is a community based on quality over quantity and locally grown products and services. In terms of spiritual enrichment and life satisfaction, one could easily argue the value of life leans more toward these things than expensive chains and name brand clothing. The Rogue Valley has grown significantly since I lived there over a decade ago. The old pear orchards are now vineyards, the industrial areas are now shops and breweries. There are actually a couple of bars open later than 9pm. With growth has come growing pains and Southern Oregon is no stranger to the issues that come with a growing population. The valley has always had a challenge with jobs and offered little opportunity for average middle class families to find sustainable work. Unless you own your own business, are independently wealthy or have decided to retire from another state (California), there's not much in the way of work. Hopefully, as the valley continues to grow, so will the job opportunities for the locals. So yes, there's more to Oregon than Portland and Nike, but the general ideals are the same. Live free. Live clean. Live happy. I'm proud to be a granola girl from Oregon!

I have been going to Ashland for years but this was my 1st time taking a wine tasting tour there. I…read morefound this company online and I am sooo happy I booked w them. This is a husband/wife company. I booked w Janie but Terry was the driver/ tour guide extraordinaire!! Since I didnt know the area and I was going to be drinking wine I knew I would not be driving. This company will pick you up from your hotel or desired location and drop you off and the end if the day. There is another wine tour co in the area that is a "hop on/hop off" type tour but w/RVWT you can stay as long or as little as you want. Terry who grew up in this part of Oregon is the nicest, friendliest person and took my sister and me to some incredible places and made sure that we went to at least one winery that served food. We took the Bear Creek tour on a Thurs and enjoyed it so much we booked the Applegate Valley tour for the following Sunday! It was such a great value for a very private and personalized tour.We hope to take another tour w RVWT in March. If you're thinking of going wine tasting you should really check them out! Thank you Terry for an amazing time!

Once in Medford, everyone was telling us to go to Jacksonville, Oregon to look at the historic building and all the fun things to do there. We redirected there, it was only about a 15 min drive to Jacksonville. The downtown area was very cute, we saw a farmers market type event setup at City Hall. We parked and walked over to check out all the things the different booths were selling. We saw lots of unique things there like woodcarvings, pictures & paintings and even some food and drinks. After a short time we continued driving through all the neighborhoods, enjoying the different types of old homes.

Debbie and her crew were incredibly accommodating, and this was easily one of the most well-stocked vacation homes any of us have ever experienced.

We also loved the evening bands and food trucks and even incorporated them into our trip planning, which made the whole experience even more fun and relaxing. We're already planning our next trip back! 5+ stars to Galice Resort!
