The Applegate's
Best BBQ.
Slow-smoked meats, bold flavors, and Southern Oregon hospitality — all crafted with love and fire. Come hungry, leave happy.
Imagine sharing a meal fully protected by one of the Applegate's oldest veterans. It's not a person. It's a beautiful, ancient white oak — estimated to be 200–300 years old — and the federal government has protected her for good reason.
Over 150 years ago, she was chosen. Federal surveyors marked her as a Witness Tree — a living landmark used to anchor the survey lines that would define this corner of the Applegate Valley.
At Steelhead Run Vineyard, we've placed our dinner tables beneath her canopy — that vast, cathedral-like spread of branches that has sheltered two centuries of rain, sun, and seasons. When you sit down to a meal here, you're not just dining at a vineyard. You're dining in a place that has been quietly significant for longer than anyone alive can remember.
We're bringing the smoke. Slow-smoked meats, handmade sides, and delicious country desserts — served right here in her shade. Something honest, unhurried, and worth remembering.
Come sit beneath the oldest veteran in the Applegate. She's seen a lot. She won't mind if you linger.

Wonderful reviews
from our guests
"Cyn's Q is hands down the best BBQ I've had outside of Texas. The brisket is absolutely perfect — that smoke ring, that bark, that tenderness. I drive 45 minutes just to eat here."
