About the restaurant
Just minutes from Ashland, Medford and Jacksonville, our winery and tasting room are set magnificently on the forested foothills of Southern Oregon overlooking the Rogue Valley with views of Table Rocks and Mt McLoughlin in the backdrop.

We offer several seating areas each just steps away from the vines as you enjoy our award-winning wine. We produce Burgundian-style Pinot noirs and Chardonnays along with Barbera, Sangiovese, Syrah, Zinfandel and Port-style wines.

You will experience a wide variety of culinary options prepared using the freshest seasonally available ingredients from our local farming and artisan community to complement your wine tasting experience.

The result is delicious! You’ll feel like you have been transported to Tuscany or Burgundy, or both!

-Please note that all reservations are for a two hour timeframe. We look forward to serving you soon!-

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at The Lindsay. My wife is vegan, and the chef made her a delicious entree with fresh vegetables that he had on hand. I loved the chicken wing appetizer (some of the tastiest wings I've ever had), and we shared the delicious Brussels sprouts. Other items we ordered included the eggplant Parmigiana and the arugula salad. Everything was wonderful, and I highly recommend The Lindsay's restaurant.

Located underneath the historical Jacksonville Inn in Jacksonville, Oregon, the restaurant serves modern wine country cuisine, fine wines and handcrafted cocktails.
Being Family Owned and Operated and the matriarch originating from Florence, Italy, we strongly believe in the magic of food and the power it has to being families together. We relish in the opportunity to bring our passion for food and wine to the Jacksonville Inn and witness the memories made by all that dine at our table. Our philosophy is that you walk in as our guest but leave as a friend. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY.

About the restaurant
We believe in living a clean, natural and organic lifestyle mirroring that of the old world, where people eat only local foods. Most of our ingredients are certified organic and we source from local farmers to promote sustainability. We want to showcase how fertile the Southern Oregon valley is and the amazing bounty available from local farmers.

We're excited to share our wine and food knowledge with Southern Oregon. We want to educate anyone willing to learn on wines of the world as well as how they compare to local wines. We will strive to constantly create new menu items and wine pairings.

The service was excellent, the food was lukewarm, the music was too loud, but all in all it was an enjoyable meal but for a hungry man there wasn't enough. It would be nice to have a meal served with a salad and bread in the price included rather than to have to order separate bread and separate salad which could be accomplished by raising the price of the meal to accommodate this need. It is very elegant food, elegantly presented.

The restaurant pays tribute to our ranch, K-Bar Rogue River, a unique section of land located at the base of the Table Rocks along the Rogue River. The Ranch has been reimagined and reborn from its humble beginnings, as the historic Rogue River Ranch, into the ranch we know and love today, K-Bar Rogue River, rich in both natural resources and unparalleled beauty.
