WHAT’S THE ASHLAND NOUVEAU FEST?

Five Rogue Valley winemakers are unveiling their 2026 Gamay Nouveau wines, all made from grapes picked the same day from the same block at Irvine & Roberts Vineyard in Ashland. Same fruit, five creative takes—each bottle a fresh, early expression of this year’s harvest.

Featuring wines by ::

  • Eric Weisinger - Weisinger Family Wines

  • Rob Folin - Ryan Rose Wines

  • Brian Gruber - Irvine & Roberts

  • Joe Chepolis - Sound & Vision Wine Co.

  • Kimberly Drake - Resistance Wine Co.

Come taste them all, meet the makers, and celebrate Southern Oregon’s collaborative wine scene with good company, great energy, and a little post-harvest joy.

You'll also enjoy live French-inspired music by a local trio and delicious French-inspired bites available for purchase from Allium Woodfired Pizza.

We'll have wines by the glass to enjoy with us, and bottles for purchase to take home with you.

Please note: This event is outside. While we will have a tent, and heaters, please come prepared to bundle up and get cozy!

Advance purchase tickets are $50. This includes a commemorative glass and a randomly selected bottle of one of the Nouveau wines.
