Over a year ago I blogged about how Volcano Vineyards was to be closing their downtown tasting room in favor of a new, larger winery facility. It was going to be a long(ish) process, but their latest blog reveals that it’s happening next month:

Our Bend Winery Opening October 2010!
But, we will be closing the Downtown Bend Tasting Lounge at the end of September. Sooooo sad to leave Downtown, but in order to move the company forward, we decided to get back to basics and focus on production of our Volcano wines and our Magmita Sangrias. Our Bend winery will be located in the new Century Center off of 14th Street (aka Century Drive) on Bend’s westside. We should be open in October!

No idea (yet) if the new facility will include any kind of tasting room, but it’s nice to see a local business doing well in the current economy.
