Brandborg Vineyard & Winery in Elkton, OR

Elkton, Oregon is a small town located south of Eugene where life is about the country life. Though it is very small with a population of 170, the area boasts four wineries.

On our way from Medford, which is home to many wineries and vineyards, we stopped by Brandborg Vineyard & Winery in Elton, where we learned about The 6th Annual Elton Art & Wine Thanksgiving Weekend.

On November 25, 26 and 27 Elkton will be featuring a community event with a focus on “Buy Local and Celebrate Community.” The hashtag for the event is #BLACCFriday.

I like the idea of small businesses working together to support each other. The 6th Annual Elkton Art & Wine Thanksgiving Weekend, is wonderful way to celebrate and discover what small businesses can do to help each other. If you will be traveling in the Ellton area, be sure to check out these wineries and crafts that add to the culture of our lives.
