How do you get into The Secret Wine Society?
We have not confirmed it. The Secret Wine Society is in the directory because it described as secret, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.
The drinks at The Secret Wine Society
How the venue describes itself: “The Secret Wine Society in Historic Oakland, Oregon – a wine bar and tasting lounge with unique wines and small plate dining. Located in the Umpqua Valley wine country and 10 minutes north of Roseburg.” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)
The current drinks list is published on the venue’s own site — see the menu.
Beyond what the venue publishes we have not verified a list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: Corpse Reviver No. 2, White Lady, and Twentieth Century are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Oregon
Oregon did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1916, four years before the Eighteenth Amendment came into force nationally on 17 January 1920. By the time the Volstead Act was being enforced across the country, Oregon already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
