South Hill Winery

Believe me, I've been to more wineries than I can count. Hands down, South Hill has the best views. They were also able to accommodate our group of 8 on very short notice. I will definitely get the word out, because I hadn't even known about this winery before this weekend. Looking forward to returning when I am in the area. For reference, it's appx 15 minutes from Hood River across the bridge.

This place is a gem! I’m so glad we took the short drive from Hood River over to South Hill Winery, it did not disappoint. Visited on a Friday in late June when the weather was spectacular, and it was pretty quiet. It offers the best view of the Gorge from a winery, hands down. Our host, Trish, was amazing with the perfect balance between giving our small group space and being attentive. She was also incredibly knowledgeable, especially if you're interested in the history of the winery and its owners. We sat outside at a covered picnic bench with a breathtaking view, enjoying a few glasses of wine and a tasting flight. We didn’t want to leave, but we did end up taking home two bottles on our way out. Overall, a 10/10 experience. I’d highly recommend it to anyone touring the wineries around Hood River—make the quick drive to South Hill!

I was in love with South Hill from the first time we visited. The views of Hood are unparalleled, Trish is a delight, and I have yet to meet a wine of theirs that I do not like. The atmosphere is unpretentious and inviting, while Trish is extremely knowledgeable and attentive, the combo makes you want to stay the whole afternoon. We love it so much we became members!

What a view, the wines were delicious, kind and attentive service. I am surprised this gem isn't more crowded, which makes this place extra special. We sat on the patio with our dog and soaked up the sun. Probably my new favorite especially since I typically go to the Willamette Valley which any more has to be planned with reservations. Tell a friend but also keep it a secret 😉

I visited this winery twice in one weekend. I had the red tasting and my husband and I loved each sample. We had a hard time picking and ended up buying 3 bottles. They have some snacks there that you can eat with your wine and they have an all red tasting or a tasting that has some whites and reds. Highly recommend. The outdoors area is beautiful with seating facing Mt Hood.

Had a wonderful tasting on an early Friday afternoon. $15 for 3 whites and 3 reds. There was only one other group there to enjoy the amazing views. The owner served use herself and gave us a lot of background on the winery. Her husband gave us a sampling of a rose they had just filtered before fermentation. I’m thinking of going back next year to see how it turned out. I liked the pinot noir best and bought a bottle. They only have snacks like nuts and chips.

Officially now my #1 favorite winery in the Gorge (and I've been to most). The view is unlike any other in the area, as is the uniqueness and elegance of their wines. I almost immediately joined their wine club... which is extremely reasonable in comparison to the quality and refinement of their product!

Good mix of reds and whites to suit most palates. Very cordial winemaker who was an excellent guide . We arrived opening day of their tasting room and the operation was quite smooth. NOTE if Google attempts to navigate you up 'Wess Rd' do not go this route, instead continue west to 'Kollock Knapp Rd' and follow the South Hill Winery signs. UPDATE 5/2024: Still amazing wine and breathtaking views. Good array of varietals and styles, there is something for everyone. Definitely a must visit.
