Visiting Grizzly Peak Winery was a great experience. Situated on gently rolling hills just outside of Ashland, Oregon this winery has been growing for more than a dozen years.
Greeted by one of the owners, we had a tour of the property to understand how it has evolved over the years with a look at what their vision is for the future. Not only to they make award winning wines which we tasted and enjoyed ( and the purchased because we enjoyed them and knew we would like to serve them to our friends at home in the Bay Area) but they have event spaces and now a few overnight rooms for guests who so enjoy the wines at these events that they would rather not drive home.
By the way the owners Virgina and Al Silbowitz are smart, friendly people who know their business, that of making wine and making guests feel at home. Enough of their family members are involved with the winery at this point to make it a "family business". One can see that it features care and pride as well as great wines, now with a series using labels made especially for the winery by long time friend and artist David Lance Goines.
I think that anyone going to Ashland or as we were, traveling to points further north, should make a spacial stop to visit Al and Virginia and family at Grizzly Peak Winery. It is slightly off the beaten track but easy enough to find if you Google it and call ahead. And if you are planning a wedding, Bat Mitzvah or other festive event consider their beautiful winery as a venue.
