Tasting fees can vary from complimentary upwards to $40 in places like Napa and the Willamette Valley, however, this is not the case in Southern Oregon. A great perk when wine tasting in Southern Oregon is the inexpensive tasting fees offered, if any at all.
Even through the sound of complimentary wine tasting sounds ideal, I personally would rather pay the nominal fee. When it comes to complimentary tastings I often feel obligated to buy something, especially if great service was provided. Case and point: the three bottles of Rosé I have piling up to gradually gift to my mom from my last trip to Sonoma. It is not such a problem in places like Southern Oregon where many of the wineries provide such outstanding wines, but it can still happen.
Another great thing is that all Southern Oregon wineries that do charge a tasting fee refund it with purchase. Again, this is a perk of Southern Oregon, and not something you will find everywhere, even though I think it is a necessity.
