A bit of history on the label
Rock Point Wines is named after Del Rio Vineyards’ historic location just north of Gold Hill. The distinguishing Rock Point formation in the Rogue River became the name of a small community founded by J.B. White in the early 1850s. Rock Point has a colorful history consisting of the Rogue Indian Wars, gold mining, floods, the railroad, and orchards. Today, the only remaining reminder of the community’s history is the still standing Stage Coach Stop, the location of the Rock Point Hotel, a major stop on the California-Oregon Stage line.
Rock Point Wines was established in 2008 and has been steadily growing in distribution around the country. It is currently available to Oregon customers through our online store, select Costco locations and on tap at a few local restaurants.

My Husbands grandparents and his family lived in the little house next to the tasting room. They were the Robbins/Haymonds. My husbands great grandfather was Ben Haymond.
ReplyDeleteMy husbands aunt and uncle used to rent the motel when it was used as a home. He said the house was haunted and didnt like going up stairs. The hjanging tree was still in the driveway befor all the remodel for the winery. His uncle worked in the orchards.
