Things To Do
Hood River Fruit Loop
A unique rural farm experience awaits you in the beautiful Hood River Valley, where you will encounter 32 on-the-farm fruit stands, wineries, breweries, cideries, and fields of flowers. The Hood River Valley has a rich agricultural heritage, beginning with the planting of the first fruit trees in 1855, resulting in 14,500 acres of pears, apples, and cherries that cover the valley today. Wander down the 35 miles of scenic country roads on your self-guided tour and create great adventures with family and friends, while exploring the abundance of farm products grown in the valley. If you are traveling in a bus or large RV, please call the individual stands for information on accommodations.

Hawkins Cellars WA
Our vineyard on Underwood Mountain is perched at 1,400 feet, overlooking the Columbia River Gorge. Tucked between the majestic peaks of Mount Hood to the south and Mount Adams to the north, this unique location experiences a distinct microclimate shaped by wind, water, soil, and sun. These towering volcanoes, along with our northern latitude, significantly influence our winemaking style and techniques, resulting in wines that are lower in alcohol, higher in acidity, offering balanced ripeness and a refreshing crispness.
Analemma Wines
We are a Biodynamic grower-producer, nestled in the Mosier Valley of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. We employ careful farming and meticulous winemaking to craft delicious wines that taste of the Gorge.
