Founded on a love of great wine, horses, and the Rogue Valley, Bayer Family Estate produces artisan wines that are as unique as they are flavorful. What was once a cattle ranch is now over 80 acres of carefully managed wine grapes, hay fields, and pristine ponds lined with hand-planted willow trees and water lillies. The Tuscan-inspired tasting room sits next to what was once a commercial equestrian facility, which now serves as our covered seating and concert venue. Surrounded by vast pines and waters of the Rogue River, we pride ourselves on our property’s immersive scenery, hand-crafted wines, and signature western-flair.
Due to our coveted agate-winlo soils, intensive vineyard management, and commitment to craftsmanship, our wines have won major accolades at international wine competitions. From winning double-gold medals at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and the Sunset Magazine International Wine Competition, to winning Rogue Valley AVA Winery of the Year at the New York International Wine Competition, we are beyond proud of the recognition our wines and have received.
