Areas in Columbia Gorge
Hood River
Tasting rooms on the Oregon side cluster here, so you can group several stops. The self-guided, 35-mile Fruit Loop farm route adds wineries, cideries and fruit stands.

Washington side (Lyle, Underwood, White Salmon)
Tasting rooms are spread among several small communities rather than clustered in one, so plan your route. Vines grow on Underwood Mountain, an ancient volcano.

Mosier and The Dalles
Drier country east of Hood River, with vineyards around both towns. Tasting rooms are fewer here, so find them on the Cruv map before you drive out.

Know before you go
- Reservations
- Hours differ from one tasting room to the next, and some pour by appointment or ask groups to book.
- Tasting fees
- Each tasting room sets its own fee, and some reduce it when you buy wine.
- Getting there
- About 60 miles east of Portland. Interstate 84 runs along the Oregon side and Highway 14 along the Washington side; the two-lane Historic Columbia River Highway is a slower, winding alternative on some stretches.
- Best time to visit
- Fall is orchard-harvest season around Hood River, a good time to pair tastings with Fruit Loop farm stands. Persistent winds blow through the Gorge, so bring layers.
- Getting around
- Tasting rooms sit on both banks, so a full day may mean crossing the river; check Gorge alerts for wildfire and road closures. Plan a designated driver, a rideshare or a tour.
Hood River's annual harvest festival in October pours local wine.
