Oregon is known as an industry leader for growing and producing some of the best Pinot Noir in the world, and there’s a lovely selection of Hood River wineries for sipping and swirling this delicate varietal. The vineyards in the Columbia Gorge area thrive due to the ideal climate, with dry summers, wet winters, and mountain ranges serving as barriers to more drastic weather conditions. Visiting this collection of Hood River wineries is such a lovely addition to your next getaway to Oregon!
Due to the picturesque locations of these Hood River wineries, you’ll have a front-row seat for stunning views of sweeping vineyards in the shadow of Mount Hood and Mount Adams. Many of these fantastic wineries and vineyards are along the Hood River Fruit Loop, a collection of local farms and businesses within a 35-mile loop for farm fresh goods, wine flights, beer on draft, cider tasting, and art on display.
As a guest at our Hood River Bed and Breakfast, you’ll be in the ideal location to head out and explore, whether on foot, e-bike (we have rentals!), or by car to these nearby Hood River wineries. A handful of these establishments are in downtown Hood River, but the vineyards are really a special outing with more than just wine tasting. Back at the Inn, you’ll be welcomed with open arms, comfortable guest rooms, and a laid-back atmosphere. We can’t wait to host you; reserve your lodging today!
