Loop de Loop Wines & Alpine inspired food

"When Loop de Loop’s Julia Bailey started making her wild-yeast-fermented wines in 2009, sourcing grapes from the Columbia River Gorge and Willamette Valley, they became the hot bottles to keep in Portland wine bars and restaurants. In 2021, Loop de Loop opened its own tasting room and winery in Underwood, with exceptional pinot noir, chardonnay, riesling, and blends poured alongside mountain and vineyard views. The winery also hosts exciting collaboration dinners from time to time; it’s worth keeping an eye on Loop de Loop’s Instagram for more details." - Melissa Haskin, Molly Allen

"If you decide to take the Washington side back to town, Route 14 is a quieter ride home, where you can stop at Loop de Loop, which welcomes visitors to taste its high-altitude wines out of the reservation-free tasting room." - Katrina Yentch

"Loop de Loop is one of those borderline-perfect tasting experiences, where the wines are interesting and cool but the vibe remains relaxed. Sure, a tasting at Loop de Loop may involve wild blends of skin contact pinot blanc and gris or some gorgeous Eola-Amity pinot noir, but you’ll be drinking it sitting among the overgrown clover, with views of both the river and the mountains. If you’re lucky, Luna — owners Julia Bailey Gulstine and Scott Gulstine’s dog — will check up on you between pours. Loop de Loop is open for walk-in tastings indoors or out." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"Local wine star Julia Bailey of Columbia River Gorge winery Loop de Loop, who will be making a smoke taint wine for the first vintage of Post Familiar." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
