More Than a Wine Tasting
Blackberry Nights is the inaugural signature event of the Illinois Valley Wine Trail, created to celebrate the wineries, artists, musicians, makers, and hospitality businesses that make our region unique.
As summer settles over the valley, guests will enjoy an evening of local wine, blackberry-inspired cuisine, live music, art, and community in an intimate setting designed to encourage conversation, discovery, and connection.
Whether you're a longtime local or visiting Southern Oregon for the first time, Blackberry Nights offers a chance to slow down, savor the season, and experience the Illinois Valley through its flavors, stories, and creativity.
