Terrance and his family make excellent Italian style wines including Grenace and Barbera. Next, go up the hill for a stop at Stonehenge Monument which offers excellent views of the Columbia River. Head aprox 5 miles West on 84, pass Maryhill Museum and go Maryhill Winery. Enjoy a picnic lunch with live music on the patio on weekends.

Cliffs Winery and chat with Bob and Jared about
their Nebillo grapes and beautiful vineyards. Later head
5 miles West and go up to Marshal's Winery. Ron Jon and

to Oregon and go downtown to the Sunshine
Mill. This 1900's Mill has been restored into

MARYHILL WINERY WA
Maryhill Winery is Washington State's premier destination
winery featuring one of the
Northwest's most desirable microclimates for growing grapes.
Picnicking is encouraged
on the spacious and scenic covered arbor with perfect
river views.
Possibly the most enjoyable part of Maryhill, from a grower's standpoint, is the wide variety of grapes the area will support - including several difficult to grow varietals often stunted in many of the region's other vineyards.
They
focus their vineyards on producing premium red wines,
with special attention to Syrah and Sangiovese. Their
larger vineyards include blocks of Zinfandel, Viognier,
Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon vines, as well
as smaller sections for Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Grenache.
The
Celilo Room & Wine Tasting Tour packages go to Maryhill
Winery!
Cascade Cliffs Vineyard & Winery
Majestic
riverfront scenery, towering 400 foot basalt cliffs and luscious sun-soaked
vineyards host a petite winery's distinctive estate varietals. Ask
questions about the hard to grow Nebllio grape, stick your nose in
a glass, hike the vineyards or chose a chore. Family picnicking is
welcome.
The Sunshine Mill tasting room features the wines of Quenett Winery in a unique, world-class environment that you must see for yourself!
Wine tasting begins daily at 12:00pm.
Our interior
incorporates the original machinery of the flour mill that occupied
this building since 1918! The history of the building is cherished
by the community of The Dalles and is found inspiring by visitors.
Waving
Tree Vineyards & Winery
Wines produced here include: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet
Franc, Sangiovese, Barbera, Grenache, Syrah and Viognier.
A small tasting room near Maryhill Park with very informative
staff. Family owned and run. It's my personal favorite
for wine,& is another gem on the Value
menu!
Jacob Williams Winery is a family owned and operated winery in the Columbia River Gorge with a Tasting Room in Lyle, WA. The winery produces under 2000 cases of ultra premium wine annually from some of the best vineyards in the Columbia Valley AVA and around the Columbia River Gorge.
Brad Gearhart owns and operates Jacob Williams with the help of award-winning wine consultant John Haw, formerly of Maryhill and Sokol Blosser. Brad graduated from the University of Oregon in the 1987 and moved to Portland in 1992. He and his college roommate started Dry Hollow Vineyards in The Dalles in 2003. The wine operations and production were moved to an updated facility in Hood River a few years later, and the name was changed to Jacob Williams after Brad’s two sons.
COR
Cellars was started in 2005 by Luke Bradford. After working
in the Val D’Orcia in southern Tuscany for Tenuta
di Trinoro and then on Mt Etna in Sicily for Passopisciaro
from 2000-2002, Luke returned to Washington and went to
work as assistant winemaker for Wind River Cellars and
then Syncline Wine Cellars in the Columbia River Gorge.
Seeing the enormous potential in Washington fruit, Luke
embarked on his own and planted vineyards. Moving into
a renovated facility in Kyle, WA in 2006, CAR Cellars
now makes five wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Momentum (Cabernet
Sauvignon/Merlot/Cabernet Franc/Malbec), Sauvignon Blanc,
Riesling and Alba Cor (Pinot Gris/Gewurztraminer.)
Domaine Pouillon welcomes you! Our family-owned and operated winery nestles into the beautiful Columbia River Gorge near Lyle, Washington. Each year we produce 1500 cases of premium wine and 50 happy chickens (maybe one or two cranky ones…) Our farming philosophy includes biodynamics and hand-crafting with minimal mechanization in our “petit” winery.
syn•cline \'sin-klin\ n (1873) : a trough of stratified rock in which the beds dip toward each other from either side.
Syncline's first vintage consisted of 76 cases of Celilo Vineyards Pinot Noir from vines planted in 1972. The next year, production was increased to include Columbia Valley Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah. At the same time we began working with vineyards planted with Viognier, Grenache, Mourvedre, Roussanne, Cinsault, Counoise and more Syrah. We have kept production under 3,000 cases annually to ensure that we stay intimate with each barrel and every vine.
Marshal's Winery & Vineyard
Marshal's Winery is a small but growing operation with a wide range
of mouth watering wines to satisfy everyone's tasting pleasure. Varieties
exclusive only to Marshal's Vineyard round out a menu of great wine,
atmosphere and fresh local treats. The Marshal family has been making
a wide base of varietals since 1999. 
The
vines that stretch over the hills produce cabernet sauvignon, cabernet
franc, syrah and, most recently, barbera. Ron Marshal also crafts
cooler white varietals from White Salmon grapes. You are often greeted
personally by "Mr. Ron Jon", if not handed a plate of smoked
salmon by his lovely wife Lily, along with your wines! We enjoy the
Gold Medal Barbera and Syrah Reserve here.
Memaloose
Grown and produced in a National Scenic Area by the McCormick
Family, these wines are prepared to
complement food. Estate vineyard sites lie on both the
Washington and Oregon slopes of the Columbia River, at
various elevations and in distinct micro-climates spread
throughout this exciting, young AVA. Our spectacular winery
and tasting room setting overlooks the AVA from high above
the River near Lyle, Washington.

wild sockeye smoked salmon, d’anjou pear vinegar,

We
like to call ourselves the “chamber of commerce”
of Columbia Gorge wines! We currently have 34 different
wineries represented at The Gorge White House. We offer
6 to 12 wines daily, usually half red and half whites
and our surprising local pear wine (we say surprising
because it is not what you expect and it is made out of
local pears!). Our wine tasting selections change continuously
so our guests may enjoy the many tastes and styles of
our local winemakers. We offer 2 beers on tap at any one
time from the 5 micro-breweries in our area. Our guests
can choose to purchase the entire daily flight of wine
or beer flight or elect to taste a single wine or beer
offered for $1.00. We also offer wine and beer by the
glass.
Mt. Hood Winery
Enjoy the fruits of the finest growing region in the Pacific Northwest.
It's the "sweet spot" between the cool, wet Willamette Valley
and the hot, dry Eastern 
Oregon
climate.
The Pinot Noir is outstanding here and this winery will
present more top quality wines as their production grows.
Nestled
among the orchards of the Hood River Valley, this newly
opened tasting room mirrors the style of the area's roadside
fruit markets. The young winery produces several varietals,
Chardonnay and pinot noir, with a Port bottling promised
by winter.
The Pines
The long awaited tasting room from the Pines owned by
Loni Wright, is now in downtown Hood River. Open Thurs.-Sunday,
The Pines features some of the best Reds known to wine
tasters! They offer spicy, full-bodied wines with a strong
balance between fruit and alcohol.
The
Pines 1852 is a family-owned and operated winery and vineyard.
The Pines Vineyard's Old Vine Zinfandel was first planted
by an Italian stone mason in the late 1800s. Louis Comini
made his home in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge, bringing
with him grape vines from his homeland in Genoa, Italy.
These original plants are still producing today by winemaker
Peter Rossback and owner Lonni Wright.
The century Old Vine Zinfandel make The Pines one of the oldest vineyards in the Northwest.
