BAYER FAMILY ESTATE

Description

BAYER FAMILY ESTATE is the newest winery to open in the Rogue Valley and is a not-to-be-missed stop on your winery tour. Be among the first to enter the iron gates of Bayer Family Estate as they open their doors to the public for the first time this summer! Nestled along the banks of the Rogue River, enjoy a glass of Brook Horse wine and take in the scenery at this world-class equestrian estate.

Beginning in 2010, the Bayer family combined their passion for horses and good wine on this 90 acre river-front estate. Drawing on their love of the Italian countryside, the Pheasantbrook Vineyard block and tasting room are a nod to the hills of Tuscany. You can experience award-winning wines, stroll through the picturesque grounds, or relax by one of the many lily ponds.

Bayer Family Estate grows six different varietals including Barbera, Primitivo, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, and Pinot Noir. With plans to expand their vineyard and bring production onsite, the Bayer’s will continue to grow their selection of estate-grown wines.

The Brook Horse 2013 Zinfandel won gold at the 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and the 2014 Zinfandel took gold at the 2017 SF International Wine Competition. The 2015 Barbera took double gold at the 2018 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and the 2016 Brook Horse Rosé won silver at the 2017 Oregon Wine Experience as one of the select few rosés to medal.
