Oregon is well-known for its amazing wines, and you could spend years of your life exploring all of the more than 700 wineries around the state. There are some wineries that offer unique experiences, and we just found one where you can dine and drink wine in a mine shaft!

Welcome to Augustino Estate! The estate has two locations: its main vineyard and treehouse tasting room in O’Brien, and its Big Red Barn tasting room in the Applegate Valley at Grants Pass.
