Great Umpqua Food Trail
YOUR GUIDE TO FARMERS’ MARKETS, RIVERSCAPES AND BOUTIQUE WINERIES
Heading out on a Southern Oregon road trip and need a great cup of coffee, an amazing farm-to-table dinner or a tasting room with a view around Roseburg? Now you can pull out the Great Umpqua Food Trail to find about 45 stops just a short detour off the highway that focus on local ingredients that were grown, raised, harvested or created in Southern Oregon’s “Great Umpqua” region — named for the watershed and the lush valleys through which the river and its tributaries flow.
Choose a section of the trail for a day (or week) of food adventure: wineries, breweries and farm-to-table restaurants, farmers’ markets, farm stands, u-pick farms, bakeries and cafes. The businesses along the Great Umpqua Food Trail share a commitment to promoting and sourcing products that are grown, raised or created in the Great Umpqua region.
