The celebration will include live music from TJ & The Country Spurs, Vineyard Hayrides, Pulled pork sandwiches available for purchase from Jeff’s Street Bistro, and complimentary wine tasting of all four Rock Point Wines for those 21 years of age and older.

The Rock Point Wines Affair will be the only day throughout the year to taste and purchase Rock Point Wines. We are offering tastes of all four wines: 2009 Rock Point Pinot Noir, 2009 Rock Point Pinot Grigio, River Rock Red, & River Rock White. In addition to the complimentary festivities Rock Point Wines will be available for purchase by the glass, bottle, and case. Event special pricing will be offered.

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. For more information on our second label please visit the website at www.rockpointwines.com.
