Columbia Gorge Wine Country Awards

February 25, 2015

The Columbia Gorge Wine Country experience is defined by spectacular scenery, the trailblazing spirit of the people, and the diverse lifestyle opportunities that accompany the world-class wines grown and crafted here.

Columbia Gorge Wine Country is a 40-mile, sweeping, dramatically changing panorama of landscapes as the Columbia River cuts through the Cascade Mountain Range, creating microclimates of arid desert to cool temperate rainforest, providing the specific rain and soil conditions required to nurture the growth of more than 30 premium wine grape varietals.

Patrik and Tess Barr have been making wine since 1992. Fifteen years ago they started making sparkling apple wine using the traditional methode champenoise with great success. The family moved from Washington to Hood River in 2003 where they purchased vacant farm land and planted grapes.

Longtime friends had established vineyards to the East growing Merlot, Syrah and Malbec. They started with these grapes and now have sourced out what they feel are the best varietals and growers in the area to make wines from what some are calling the new Burgundy as they continue to plant more grapes of their own.

Please join us on our outdoor patio for a taste of fine wines and to enjoy the view!

We love to talk about wine!
