This includes options for expanding vineyard and agri-business operations, developing a hospitality business with a focus on events such as destination weddings, as well as on-site accommodations like bed and breakfast and cabin rentals. An additional estate dwelling and farm-to-consumer sales are also relevant opportunities.
For years, the Applegate Valley has been revered as the crown jewel of Southern Oregon’s wine and agricultural region. Recognized as one of the premier destinations in the Applegate Valley, Red Lily embodies excellence in every aspect of wine-making and hospitality. This rare gem offers an unparalleled setting with 4,000 feet of Applegate River frontage and convenient access to incredible outdoor activities. The phenomenal location is a short commute from all the conveniences of Jacksonville and Medford and is centrally located within Southern Oregon.
The offering is a hybrid vineyard and winery sale that includes the business, brand, and real estate.
As you enter the property on a private road that is shaded by oak savannas, you pass through a custom gate and roll over the Applegate River to the tasting room, and winery. This magnificent property welcomes you with manicured landscaping, alluring architecture, and a great river ambiance.
Step into the tasting room, where the fusion of contemporary design and rustic charm creates an unforgettable experience. The seamless blend of natural materials and modern aesthetics adds warmth and character to the ambiance. Venturing into the historic barn seating area, guests are greeted by an era of rustic charm and elegance. The barn’s architecture creates a captivating backdrop for guests to relax and savor their experience. Originally a cattle feed barn and over 75 years old, the barn was renovated alongside the 2010-2011 tasting room construction, it offers interior space partially sheltered by walls made from used wine barrels and two patios facing west and east. The barn, now used for daily visitors and events, features expanding the tasting area to over 4,000 sq.ft.
Red Lily has a total of 2/3 of a mile of frontage along this beautiful river, which is one of the most unique features of this property. The river frontage features an expansive beach where signature red umbrellas, tables and chairs, and a discrete outdoor bar invite guests to enjoy the fruits of the vineyard and the bountiful surroundings. This area also includes the Enchanted Forest Trail that expands the beach experience to include a series of private retreats along the river.
The winery facility, constructed in 2010, spans 5,200 square feet, offering a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics. Its exceptional layout and design are notable, contributing to a high degree of efficiency in the wine making process.

On a higher plateau above the hospitality areas the vineyards which are focused heavily on Spanish grape varieties that are well-suited to the Applegate Valley’s soil, climate, and elevation. The “Bean Patch Vineyard” is named after the area where the property’s original owners, homesteaders in the late 1800’s, grew bush beans. This vineyard was planted in 2008, and is planted entirely to Tempranillo. It has a predominately northern aspect and rises to an elevation of around 1,600 feet. In 2011, the Stargazer Vineyard was planted with Tempranillo, Verdejo, Grenache, and Graciano. This vineyard has a predominantly northern aspect on a varying slope surrounding a knoll that provides an incredible view of the night sky – hence its name!
The property benefits from strong river water rights and a recently updated irrigation system. The property offers a diverse mix of aspects, topography and soil types providing great options for vineyard or Agri-Business. The property has approximately 30 acres of rolling grassy meadows ideal for additional estate-quality vines. The lower pastures offer a multitude of options for additional production vineyard development to a plethora of other Agri-Business opportunities for farm to table ventures. The 50+ acre lower pasture has quality loam soils, level topography, and great blocking.
The Applegate Valley offers visitors many attractions, including the Applegate Valley Wine Trail, Applegate Lake, great hiking trails, and more. However, the area has a significant need for additional overnight accommodations. Based on current zoning, present property use, and recent hospitality trends, Red Lily is a great candidate for the development of both bed and breakfast and /or lodge accommodations.
Furthermore, the property’s expanse and diverse character provide many options for expansion in hospitality and event hosting. In addition to several thousand feet of river frontage and the existing outdoor event space, the property has an incredible site overlooking the vineyard and the breadth of the valley could be developed into a stunning event venue suitable for hosting weddings and other outdoor gatherings. This breathtaking setting could very well place Red Lily as one of the most sought-after destinations for weddings in the Southern Oregon region. In addition, the property has many opportunities for creating other attractions for guests, including but not limited to romantic picnic areas, vineyard tours, and meandering paths along the river, through the vineyards, and to incredible vistas of the valley and distant mountains and more.
Similarly, as the winery business grows, there is room for expanding the existing winery facility, including adding more cased goods storage and enhancing operational capacities to meet increasing demands. These development possibilities showcase the versatility and potential of the property beyond its current offerings.
