Sure… the Applegate Valley’s fantastic wine is always reason enough to get out on the trail, but summer is full of extra happenings and great events. From live music, to festivals, to outstanding food offerings and pairings, Applegate Valley wineries have something special going on this summer. Here’s just a few…
