Roseburg is the heart of the scenic recreational paradise known as the Land of Umpqua. This land of authentic outdoor adventures and experiences is bordered by picturesque rivers, lush valleys and one of Oregon’s fastest growing wine regions. There are more than two dozen boutique wineries in the Umpqua Valley receiving international acclaim for a diverse array of wines. Oregon’s first Pinot Noir vines were planted in 1961 in the Land of Umpqua, opening the doors for Oregon’s wine industry. Today, local vintners continue to pioneer advanced winemaking techniques and viticulture technology while creating finely crafted wines. The diverse terroir from which the grapes grow contributes greatly to making truly vibrant wines. The mineral rich soil throughout the Umpqua Valley is comprised of sediment from riverbeds and three different mountain ranges providing an array of growing conditions from shale to red clay. With warmer temperatures during the day, grapes are cooled at night by gentle winds from the Pacific coast breeze allowing grapes to gradually ripen and develop a greater complexity of flavor. The region’s unique microclimates and geology give vintners the ability to grow numerous varietals from around the world including: Albariño, Grenache, Baco Noir, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Tempranillo, and Riesling. You might discover a few grapes you’ve never heard of as you sip your way through the pastoral countryside. It’s all here in the Land of Umpqua.

Crater Lake National Park 

Crater Lake (Klamath: giiwas) is a caldera lake in south-central Oregon in the western United States. It is the main feature of Crater Lake National Park and is famous for its deep blue color and water clarity. The low temperature of the water has slowed the decomposition of the wood, hence the longevity of the bobbing tree. Two islands are in Crater Lake: Wizard Island, formed from a cinder cone that erupted after Crater Lake began to fill with water, and the smaller Phantom Ship, which has seven trees living on it. There are also colonies of violet-green swallows and several varieties of wildflowers and lichens living there. While having no indigenous fish population, the lake was stocked from 1888 to 1941 with a variety of fish. Several species have formed self-sustaining populations. Since 2002, one of the state's regular-issue license plate designs has featured Crater Lake. The commemorative Oregon State Quarter, which was released by the United States Mint in 2005, features an image of Crater Lake on its reverse.
