Wines are produced with our students as part of their winemaking coursework at the Southern Oregon Wine Institute. Students harvest, crush, and press grapes in the fall term, learn about barrel storage and aging in the winter term, and stabilize, filter, and bottle wines during the spring term.
All SOWI wines are produced using fruit from the Umpqua Valley, Southern Oregon, or the Southern Willamette Valley as well as our own estate vineyards. We also occasionally have fruit donated from conscientious growers who support our educational mission.
