Troon Vineyard & Craig Camp
I learned about Troon through Craig Camp, their General Manager. Craig came to work at Troon when the property changed hands from Dick Troon to Dr. Bryan White and his wife, Denise. They brought Craig in. Before that, Craig had spent 3 decades working in many aspects of the wine industry.
Craig has a radio voice. He is thoughtful, educated, and passionate about this beautiful vineyard. Craig stays active not only at Troon but also with the Applegate Valley Vintners Association, Oregon Winegrowers Association, and the Rhône Rangers. He also hosts the Troon Talk Podcast Series on Wine Camp, where they discuss all the details of being a regenerative farm.
Of course, Craig doesn’t work in a vacuum. He has a team of people working with him to make this place and the wines so special.
The Kubli Bench in Southern Oregon’s Applegate Valley AVA
Troon lies in Southern Oregon in the Applegate Valley AVA, nested inside the Rogue Valley AVA. This area is just north of the California state border and is defined by the Applegate River.
Within this AVA, Troon sits at the center on the Kubli Bench above the Applegate River, with views of the Siskiyou Mountains.
Craig speaks of this as a transitional zone between the California and Willamette Valley climates. The area is recognized as a biologically diverse region, with over 3,500 plant species. Part of this comes from being a transitional zone. It is the northernmost region for many California species and the southernmost for many Cascade species, so you have an overlap.
