GRIZZLY PEAK WINERY

Description

GRIZZLY PEAK is nestled on a protected mountain slope just minutes from downtown Ashland. The high elevation site produces top quality wine grapes and provides visitors incomparable vistas. Established by Al and Virginia Silbowitz in 1998, the list of Grizzly Peak vintages available for sampling in the tasting room has grown to include Pinot Noir, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo, Syrah, Pinot Gris, Viognier, Chardonnay and several blends. Of four Grizzly Peak reds entered in the 2015 Oregon Wine Awards competition, all took gold and two, the 2012 Cabernet Franc estate vineyard and the Rogue Rouge Bordeaux blend, took double gold. Daughter Naomi Fuerte, as friendly as she is wine-savvy, presides in the tasting room, an intimate spot perfect for visiting and sipping with friends.

As you plan the next fundraiser or private party, don’t forget that Grizzly Peak offers interior event space suitable for up to 125 people in a building that will eventually house the estate winery. A larger winery space suitable for crowds of 200 will be available soon. Check the website for the latest details and hours. No matter the time of year, Grizzly Peak is the right spot with the right wines.
