May is Oregon Wine Month, and we’re celebrating in the Umpqua Valley with events throughout the month of May. This is also the 40th anniversary of our AVA being founded, which we’re celebrating over Memorial Day Weekend with lots of wine specials, live music, and extended hours for the weekend.
Don’t forget to your Umpqua Valley Tasting Pass to use at specific wineries as you wine taste through the Valley! (Check the pass for details, participating wineries, and dates.)

Addie’s Sparkles Release
Reustle Prayer Rock Vineyards Tasting Room
Saturday May 11, 2024 from 10 AM – 5 PM
Since 2017, Adeline Smith (age 10), the daughter of our Associate Winemaker Wade Smith, has crafted a different label for each vintage of our sparkling Gruner Veltliners through a variety of drawing and painting techniques, transforming them into coveted collectibles. This year, Adeline Smith used pastels to capture this unique moment at Reustle: The Scottish Highlanders had briefly escaped their pen and stood majestically in front of Prayer Rock Vineyard just long enough to take a photo, which Addie used to memorialize the moment in this painting. We proudly offer Addie’s Sparkles, made in the traditional Champagne method and composed of 100% Gruner Veltliner. Join us and taste the newest vintage of Addie’s Sparkles where you can recieve a bottle personally signed by Addie on Saturday of Mother’s Day Weekend.
