Today was a great day to celebrate National Bubbly Day at Augustino Estate & Vineyard.

Nestled among the vines, we shared a bottle of Romanza, Augustino's semi-sparkling Rosé, while soaking in the sunshine, vineyard views, and the slower pace that makes wine country so special.

Sometimes the best experiences aren't found on a schedule. They're found in a comfortable chair, a good conversation, and a glass of wine enjoyed among the vines.

Here's to discovering Southern Oregon's Hidden Wine Valley, one sip at a time.

🍇 Featured Wine: Romanza Rosé

One vineyard. One glass. A thousand reasons to slow down. 🍷

My tattoo may suggest I'm up to no good, but this evening's adventure involved nothing more scandalous than vineyard views, good wine, and a little trail research for the Illinois Valley Wine Trail.
