The Best Wineries and Wine Tastings in the Columbia River Gorge | Eater Portland
"For gourmands who want to splurge, it’s hard to beat one of the tasting options in the tavern at Hiyu, a working farm and vineyard near Hood River. Seared aged steaks from vineyard-raised cows, fried foraged dandelions with a pool of garum, and pureed nettles paired with freekeh are just a sampling of what’s prepared and served alongside wines, including stunning field blends and single-varietals unlike anything else available in the region. Plan for a tasting with the winemaker, sit for a five-course lunch, or settle in for Saturday night’s seven-course dinner. All experiences require reservations and start at $150 for food and wine, but trust us — it’s worth it." - Molly Allen
