Oregon has a thriving wine industry. There are 725 wineries and one Meadery. So you know where we ended up. Oran Mor is a small meadery in Roseburg. We stopped by on our last day off for mead tasting. Michael Garcia, one of the owners, took us through a flight of their 11 different flavors.
Having been to the Renaissance Fair more than once, I expected the mead to be cloyingly sweet. Oran Mor ‘s mead is not. They have married the ancient recipes of mead to the science of the modern age. They deliver a beautiful medley of flavors in a delicate wine with a crisp, clean finish. Michael visited with us about Mead and the process as well as the special properties of each of the flavors.
Oran Mor is not a large operation. It is housed in a single barn where production, tasting and events all happen under a single roof. They have managed to keep the tasting room open despite Covid-19 and the Local fires. Their tasting room is a warm intimate room that normally doubles as a local meeting place with regular scheduled events like: karaoke nights, private concerts with local artists, trivia nights and of course small plates and their mead tastings.
We spent a lovely afternoon with Michael and Oran Mor. We brought home a few souvenirs and some awesome memories of the day.
Thanks for stopping by and checking in on our latest adventure. Our time in Crater Lake National Park is almost done but we still have plenty of adventures planned before we head back home. Happy Autumn.
Wow, where are y’all off to now? I’m glad y’all were safe from the fires. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Miss you, be safe
