RED LILY VINEYARDS

Description

RED LILY VINEYARDS is a boutique, family-owned winery in the beautiful Applegate Valley, specializing in classic Spanish wines, including Tempranillo and Verdejo. Red Lily is named for Bolander’s Lily, a rare species of red lily growing in the nearby Siskiyou Mountains, and for the owner’s daughter, Lily.

Red Lily’s winery and tasting room are located in an idyllic setting on the banks of the Applegate River with an amazing riverside beach, the site of their popular summer concert series featuring rising local musical artists. Concerts are held every Thursday from 6-8pm beginning in June—see website for details.

Red Lily features a rustic-chic tasting room, an outdoor patio with gorgeous views of the valley, a historic 80-year-old pole barn, expansive grounds with lush grass areas (bring a blanket), lots of picnic tables, and charming nooks where you can relax and enjoy fabulous wines and food offerings.

Red Lily offers an array of Spanish-inspired wines, including their flagship Red Lily Tempranillo (2012 vintage DOUBLE GOLD at 2016 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.) The signature white wine is the Stargazer Verdejo—verdejo is a Spanish white grape relatively unknown in the U.S. that produces amazingly complex and layered wines. For something different, try the Night School port-style dessert wine, a DOUBLE GOLD and BEST OF SHOW winner at the 2015 Oregon Wine Experience.
