The Umpqua Valley wine country is quieter than the Willamette Valley and more varied in climate. Around Roseburg, family-run wineries pour Pinot noir, Tempranillo, Riesling, Syrah, and other grapes that suit the valley's mix of warm days and cooler river corridors.
You need a car and a little planning, because tasting rooms are scattered rather than clustered on a single village street. The reward is a relaxed Oregon wine day without the crowds or polish of the state's more famous regions.
