Talent, Oregon

 

 

Settled in the farmlands of the Bear Creek Valley, this small Southern Oregon community provides access to both quiet living and outdoor adventures, while offering easy access to the amenities of Ashland (six miles) and Medford (13 miles).

 

 

Talent is home to several unique locally-owned restaurants. Gather Café is a culmination of culinary experiences over three generations that offers cozy space, flavors from all over the world, and specialty coffee drinks. Arbor House Restaurant is another one of Talent’s gems. From Prawn Cocktail to their New York Strip, this place provides a personalized fine dining experience. Talent is also known for its wineries. Talent Cellars is an award-winning Southern Oregon winery, focused on sourcing the highest quality grapes and crafting high-end wines. Their proprietary and undisclosed blend - Nuf Sed Red – spent 22 months in half new French oak and is ready for your review. Pioneer Whiskey Experience

 

 

Talent hosts an annual Harvest Festival, which is generally held on the first Saturday in October. A fun-filled day for the whole community with live music, food and crafts, and a parade down Main Street. In addition to the festival, history buffs and nature lovers will enjoy hiking the nearby mountains and exploring local history at the Talent Historical Society and Museum. Another popular attraction is Camelot Theater Company, a place “Where Broadway meets Talent.” This semi-professional theater performs nine shows a year in the beautiful 164-seat Collier Theater.

 

 

Talent is served by the Phoenix-Talent School District 4.
