Things To Do
Breakfast & Cafes
Broder Ost The best sit-down breakfast in town featuring a creative menu inspired by Scandinavian cuisine. They garnish their Bloody Marys with pickled onion; do with that information what you will. We recommend making a reservation since it gets crowded on the weekends! Remedy Café The best fresh and healthy options around, also great for the Vegs among us. Freshie's Bagels & Juice Made from scratch daily, we love this spot for a healthy and classic start to the day. Doppio Coffee Great coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and on-the-go options.
Restaurants
Sixth Street Bistro & Pub A solid lunch and dinner spot in a casual setting, featuring made-from-scratch pub food classics and, oddly enough, some great Indian and Thai options as well. Golden Goods Sandwich & Bake Shop A very popular lunch spot among the Vegans! If you're into that kind of thing! Solstice Pizza The perfect place for lunch Saturday. Classic woodfired pizzas and a vast list of options, what's not to love? Celilo One of our favorites! Celilo is an intimate restaurant with a small menu focusing on seasonal farm-to-table meals, each of which expertly crafted. This is your spot if you're looking for a refined and high quality dinner experience, reservations recommended. Riverside The anomaly of Hood River; it's in a Best Western and no one would know! 3 Rivers Grill In a converted house atop a hill, 3 Rivers offers beautiful views and crafted lunch and dinner. Known for their seafood options!
Wineries & Breweries
Marchesi Vineyards & Winery Our favorite winery in Hood River, and the only winery featuring Italian style wines. Our Marchesi membership is our go-to reason to make the trip to Hood River! We recommend sitting by a fire table and just ordering the whole flight. Stave & Stone The best view of Mt Hood and the most well-done classic winery experience! Hood Crest Winery This gem is not what you envision when you hear "winery." They also distill whiskey, wood-fire pizza, and put on a mean live music performance. We have had so much fun coming here when we want a nice glass of wine without the stuffiness! Ferment Brewing Co If you like adventurous food and drinks, this is your place. Strawberry ale, kombucha ketchup, and miso cream cheese dip. It's fun! And most times yummy! pFreim Family Brewers The opposite of its neighbor, pFreim is a good ole spot for both classic and barrel-aged beers paired with Mac n Cheese, bratwurst, and fried chicken sandwiches. Choose your adventure!
Adventures
Multnomah Falls 50000 Historic Columbia River Hwy, Bridal Veil, OR 97010 If you are traveling from out of state, Multnomah Falls is an absolute must-see on your way in or out as Oregon's tallest waterfall! At the least, you can stand at the bottom and take in the beauty of the 620 ft falls from below, or you can make the climb to the top to enjoy a breathtaking view of the Gorge! The total out and back distance is 2.5 miles, a moderate climb that takes about 2 hours. Lavender Farms 3801 Straight Hill Road, Odell, OR 97044 A beautiful certified organic farm that grows acres of lavender with a store. We recommend the lavender sugar! Plays nicely with coffee. Fruit Loop This unique agricultural experience allows visitors to get produce straight from the vine from which it grows! A collection of local farms offer a self guided tour throughout 35 miles of road to drive through with as many farm stops along the way as you choose. https://www.hoodriverfruitloop.com/
Activities
Society Spa & Bathhouse We love this relaxing escape across the river featuring a cold plunge, warm pool, hot pool, and sauna! Guests can gain access by purchasing an hour-by-hour pass online for $35. https://thesocietyhotel.com/bingen/spa-bathhouse/ Skamania Putt-Putt Golf This is a great option for families and groups looking for a fun activity to do together. Skamania Lodge is a beautiful hotel 25 minutes away from venue with a backyard featuring an obstacle course and an 18-hole putting golf course. Bridge of the Gods This is just an iconic bridge that allows you to drive peacefully slow and soak in the Columbia Gorge from both sides at once. Worth a visit if you're driving around! It's a toll bridge so you'll need a few dollars in cash. Hood River Golf Course & Indian Creek Golf Course Perhaps a Saturday morning activity! Mountain View Cycles & Bike the Gorge Hood River is full of bicycling enthusiasts and these shops rent bikes and e-bikes for the day and offer guided tours.
Shopping
Made in the Gorge A beautiful little storefront featuring the unique works and handmade goods of local artists including art, gifts, decor, and personal adornment. G Williker’s Toy Shoppe This nostalgic old Toy Shop is a very cute stop for toy-lovers! Hood River Farmers Market (open Saturday 9-1) 501 Columbia St, Hood River, OR 97031 Hood River is highly regarded for its exports! Come here to find amazing local produce and fish from the Columbia River, and various other goodies. Goodwill Boutique Call us crazy, but Mykah found a once-in-a-lifetime jacket here when she and Max both infamously left behind her stack of jackets to be packed on their second anniversary which they spent in the Columbia Cliff Villas nextdoor to the venue. This is a unique and small second-hand boutique full of great finds for the foragers and shopping hunters among our guests.
