Tickets are $20 online through Friday and $25 at the door. Each ticket includes a souvenir tasting glass and tastings from all participating wineries.

Umpqua Valley Wine Growers Association Executive Director Ali Rodgers said, “This new festival is a celebration of what makes the Umpqua Valley so special”. Rodgers said, “For folks that are still discovering the winds of our region, this event offers a fun and flavorful introduction, plus a chance for attendees to take home bottles of their favorite wines. We’re proud to partner with Seven Feathers Casino Resort to bring this new summer event to life”.
