The Southern Oregon Wine Institute is offering the area’s first hands-on learning experience for wine-making and managing.
Located on a slope near Umpqua Community College, The Southern Wine Institute is home to 400 grape plants and a new teaching winery.
SOWI Director, Chris Lake, told KDRV news, “You can talk as much as you want about how to grow a grape vine and how to plant one. But it doesn’t make a difference unless you actually get out here to do it.”
The institute will not be under full operation for three years because it takes that long for the fruit to a mature, but it has many interested students.
