The Indie Wine Mixer: Southern Oregon Edition is back for its 2nd annual Labor Day Weekend celebration, bringing together over 30 of Oregon’s most exciting independently owned and operated wineries. Taking place in the heart of the Rogue Valley, the event offers wine lovers a rare opportunity to taste and stock up on small-production wines while connecting directly with the winemakers behind the bottles.
Founded by Ricochet Wine Company, and partnered with Sound & Vision Wine Company for the Southern Oregon Edition, IWM was created to spotlight small- scale producers—many of whom craft fewer than 500 cases per year. These scrappy, self- made artisans of the wine world, are often handling every aspect of their business from cellar work to sales.
The event is intentionally laid-back and welcoming, offering a chance to sip exceptional wines in an unpretentious setting. In addition to tastings, guests can purchase bottles of their favorite wines directly from the hands that made it, directly contributing to the success of small wine businesses statewide.
A portion of the proceeds will also support a good cause— 5% of all ticket sales will be donated to Rogue Food Unites, a non-profit dedicated to the fundamental human right for food. RFU strengthens local economies: fostering collaboration, preserving jobs for residents, building resilience, and ensuring food security and sovereignty in Oregon.
