Best Wineries with Food in Columbia Gorge (2026)

At AniChe Cellars, the tasting begins with a choice that suits the day: a Family Flight of five wines paired with seasonal tapas for $25 per person. The food keeps the visit grounded in the seasons, while the estate-grown wines offer a clear sense of place. Then step onto the Gorge-facing patio, where broad views and open air turn a tasting into an easy afternoon outing. AniChe’s atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with the warmth of a family-owned, woman-owned winery and room for groups to settle in. The tasting room and grounds are especially well suited to lingering over a second glass, a shared plate, or a conversation about the landscape beyond the vines. At $25, the Family Flight is the core food-and-wine experience; sparkling, library, and custom flights are $30.

At Evoke Winery’s Barrel Room in Hood River, the atmosphere is immediate: yellow chairs brighten a cozy room framed by barrel-lined walls, giving the tasting experience a relaxed, lived-in rhythm. This is a particularly easy stop for groups, whether you’re settling in for a casual flight or stretching the visit around food available alongside your pours. The wines are the main event, but the strong value makes exploring the lineup feel generous rather than precious; ask the team what’s showing best that day and build your tasting from there. Outdoor seating extends the experience when weather cooperates, with a little more breathing room for conversation and four-legged companions. Events and weddings add to the space’s social flexibility, while the warm, unfussy setting encourages lingering after the last sip.
