Natural winery & farm offering unique pairings and hyper-local cuisine
"A culinary and wine destination recognized by the James Beard Awards for its wine program, offering immersive events that pair boundary‑pushing natural wines with hyper‑local, seasonal meals grown or foraged on the property to deliver a strong sense of place." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"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
"One of several local winemakers showcased in beverage-focused events that pair pizzas with regional wines, cited as a collaborator for pairing nights." - Thom Hilton
"Reservations at this idyllic natural winery, working farm, and restaurant 15 minutes out of town are a must for out-of-towners, gourmands, and wine aficionados. Visitors stop by the James Beard Award-nominated Hiyu for relaxed afternoon lunches, tavern tastings of small plates and wine pairings, and full-on feasts. Nearly all the ingredients on the table, from food to wine, come from the 30-acre permaculture property, where farm animals like pigs and cows roam free among the vineyards. Visits include walks and tours of the farm to see and learn about Hiyu’s methods and practices before sitting down at the communal wooden tables for food and wine. Reservations are required for all of their tasting experiences." - Zoe Baillargeon, Molly Allen
"The Hood River Valley is home to many notable wineries, but Hiyu stands out for countless reasons. Here, food and wine are always served together, the chef and winemaker working in tandem to bring out flavors, exposing visitors to nuances they may not get when drinking wine exclusively. Make a reservation for family-style lunches, wine tastings with small plates, or an unforgettable dinner feast with wine pairings via the website. All of Hiyu’s wines are distinctive, and each dish features ingredients grown or foraged from Hiyu’s on-site farm, where guests can linger before or after a tasting." - Melissa Haskin, Molly Allen
