Waterfalls & Wine: Full-Day Gorge Loop from Portland

Depart from downtown Portland in a comfortable, small-group van and head east along the historic highway into the Columbia River Gorge. First, you’ll stop at some of the region’s most impressive cascades - including Multnomah Falls and other scenic waterfall viewpoints. Enjoy the lush forest setting, take photographs, and absorb the power of the Pacific Northwest outdoors.

Next, shift gears from waterfalls to vineyards: you’ll visit one or more wineries in the greater Willamette/Columbia Gorge region where you’ll enjoy a guided tasting or glass of local wine, paired with local commentary about the region’s terroir and sustainability efforts.

Throughout the day you’ll have a friendly, narrative guide who shares stories not only of geology, water, and landscape, but also of the local communities, farms and wine-country culture. The pace offers a blend of active nature stops and relaxed, comfort-oriented wine time - perfect for a visitor who wants both fresh air and indulgence.

Bring layers (weather can change from valley to forest to vineyard), your camera, a light snack if you like, and curiosity for both waterfalls and wine.
