A trip to Southern Oregon should include a visit to the Rogue Creamery in Central Point. I visited the creamery in January and was very impressed that such a small operation could produce nationally and internationally recognized cheeses. At the shop, you can sample several of their fine cheeses as well as purchase cheese and anything that you might want for a picnic. The creamery provides occasional tours for groups.
