Hellgate Jetboat Excursions is world famous for its jetboat trips down the Rogue River with brunch, lunch and dinner stops at the O.K. Corral, in addition to a 2-hour, 36-mile Scenic Tour and a 5.5-hour Whitewater Tour that takes you all the way to Grave Creek.
Since the mid 1970s, Hellgate Jetboat Excursions (and the O.K. Corral) has entertained hundreds of thousands of locals and tourists and is one of the premier destinations in all of Southern Oregon.
Not wanting to rest on their laurels, Hellgate Jetboat Excursions has launched Hellgate Cellars, with wines produced exclusively using fruit from the Applegate Valley.
To celebrate this new venture, Hellgate will host its first ever Wine Pairing Lunch Excursion on Tuesday, August 23, 2016, to coincide with the Oregon Wine Experience, a week-long event throughout the state featuring wineries and vineyards that are contributing to Oregon’s fastest growing agricultural crop.
“This exclusive trip will take 80 special guests downriver to Hellgate’s O.K. Corral, where you will taste Hellgate Cellars’ newly released wine flight,” said Carrie Boltz, Marketing Coordinator. “Each wine will be paired with a hand-crafted dish. The fresh summer menu will boast chilled melon soup, an orchard salad with apple Oregonzola, and toasted walnuts with pear vinaigrette, citrus summer chicken with macerated stone fruits, potato salad, balsamic glazed tri-tip with thyme, summer vegetables, and lemon sponge cake with vanilla mascarpone to finish the palate.”
The Oregon Wine Experience is a week-long event featuring great wine from all over the state, delicious food, education and entertainment. It also raises money for the Asante Foundation and Children’s Miracle Hospitals.
“Travelers won’t want to miss two of the most sensational wine events of the year,” Carrie said. “At Hellgate, we specialize in memories that last a lifetime, and we would be honored to have you at our first annual wine pairing event. Because the event is limited to 80 people, we strongly recommend that you call now to make your reservation.”
