Columbia Wine Tours LLC - ABOUT US

(541) 380-1410 - info@columbiawinetours.com


On a wintery day in the Gorge, owner Phillip savored a glass of Merlot at Maryhill winery. Savoring the rich flavors and scenic view, he thought how others might enjoy Gorge wineries without having to drive.


An idea was started to form Hood River Tours, and specialize in taking guests on custom private wine tours of the region.
"By the next summer he had started booking guests and formed a partnership with Celilo Inn , The Best Western, and Vineyard View B&B to offer package room and wine tours. We wanted our tours to be led by only local guides that were educated in wine and really knew the Gorge.

We put together a half day custom tour package where guests are taken to our favorite wineries in Hood River such as Cathedral Ridge, South Hill, Maryhill, Cascade Cliffs, Waving Tree winery, Marchesi, Viento, or Hood Crest, Phelps Creek, Naked Winery, and The Pines.
Couples really enjoy the romantic getaway and uniqueness of the tour" says Phillip.
It makes a great gift and a special way to see the sights of the Columbia Gorge.
We often make impromptu stops at Hood River shopping and local Fruit stands along the way. The guests make local purchases and help to support the community.

If you are a wine enthusiast, we'd love to show you our area and introduce you to the outstanding wines of the Columbia Gorge APA."

Cheers! - Christi & Phillip
