Welcome to a small, family‑run winery crafting limited‑production varietals and blends in Southern Oregon. Our focus is on letting the fruit and site speak for themselves.
We are a boutique family-owned and operated winery located in the heart of the Applegate Valley, Oregon, dedicated to producing premium varietal wines incuding Viognier, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah, as well as several blends. All of our wines are made from Estate or locally grown fruit.
The winery started out first as a vineyard in 2001 and then moved into full wine production in 2003. "We went back into the wine business as a fluke. We had no home for our grapes and we did not want the birds to get the crop, so we decided to build the winery, make wine and sell wine from our tasting room," comments Jim Devitt, the founder.
Sounds easy, right? Jim Devitt first started out in 1971 as the owner and winemaker of Pope Valley Winery in Napa County, who racked up many awards with his wines. Now the winemaking is done by his grandson Brendon, who came on in 2006 to learn the trade.
At Devitt Winery we keep it small and special, "It's about each barrel and what it takes to make it great!" Most of our bottleings are two to four barrel lots, aged extensively so they're ready to drink when you take them home.
For your enjoyment, the tasting room is open all year round, Noon to 5pm every day but Wednesday. The tasting room and winery are located on hwy 238 between Jacksonville and Grants Pass. Just a short drive from historic Jacksonville and world famous Ashland.
