Medford’s Award-Winning Wine, Beer & Culinary Treasures

Celebrate American Adventures Month on this episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Food, Wine & Travel Show” with IFWTWA, as we explore the vibrant food, wine, and beer scene of Medford, Oregon with Carole Skeeters-Stevens of Travel Medford.   This Southern Oregon region is home to the Rogue Valley American Viticultural Area, recently named the #2 Best Wine Region in the United States by USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards. From over 70 wine varietals to craft breweries, fertile farmlands, and seasonal events, Medford offers a delicious mix of flavors and experiences. It’s also the hometown of two culinary legends: the world-famous Harry & David, known for gourmet gift baskets and artisanal treats, and the award-winning Rogue Creamery, celebrated for its world-class blue cheese. You can also visit Crater Lake National Park, a breathtaking natural wonder and perfect picnic destination.  The conversation highlights how the region blends winemaking innovation with deep-rooted traditions, supports sustainable agriculture, and embraces the beauty of each season—especially in the fall. You’ll also hear about outdoor adventures, community hospitality, and how Travel Medford makes it easy to plan your visit. 🍷 Plan your trip: https://www.travelmedford.org/  🎧 Subscribe & Listen: https://food-wine-travel.podbean.com  🍷 Discover  the International Food Wine & Travel Writers Association (IFWTWA): https://ifwtwa.org  📢 This episode is also featured on Big Blend Radio's Vacation Station, Big Daily Blend, and Eat, Drink & Be Merry podcast channels: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/bigblendradionetwork  Photos courtesy Travel Medford.
