Best Wineries with Food in Columbia Gorge (2026)

At AniChe Cellars, a tasting comes with something to linger over: the Family Flight pairs five estate wines with seasonal tapas for $25 per person. Settle onto the Gorge-facing patio, where broad views and open air give the West Gorge setting a relaxed, expansive feel, or gather inside for a more intimate pour. The experience is welcoming without feeling hurried, making this a natural stop for groups, celebrations, and anyone who wants lunch-sized pleasure alongside a thoughtful flight. AniChe’s estate-grown wines take center stage, while the food adds a welcome sense of place and season. Sparkling, library, and custom flights are $30; wine club members taste free. With its easy hospitality, scenic outdoor seating, and events-friendly atmosphere, this woman-owned, family-owned winery makes the tasting room feel like a place to stay awhile rather than simply pass through.

At Evoke Winery’s Barrel Room in Hood River, wine tasting feels rooted in the place itself: a cozy, convivial room where the surrounding Gorge becomes part of the experience. Settle in for barrel-room pours, then linger over something to eat rather than treating food as an afterthought. Available bites make this a practical stop for groups, whether you’re building a casual afternoon of tasting or planning an event with wine at the center. Outside, seating opens the visit to broad Gorge views, fresh air, and a more relaxed rhythm—particularly appealing when you want to stretch a tasting into a longer stay. The atmosphere is welcoming without feeling overly formal, and the strong value of the wines makes it easy to order another glass or share a bottle. Bring friends, and, for outdoor time, your dog too.
