The Columbia Gorge NSA features waterfalls, mountains, monoliths, terraces, resort towns, vineyards, orchards, and The River, harboring a plethora of fish and birds, and unique plants and invertebrates. In the early 1900s, Portlanders would drive their Model T cars along the Columbia River Highway to gaze at waterfalls. There is said to be over 4000 waterfalls; many are hidden away, but many are just a short hike off the Historic Highway. On this afternoon half-day tour you'll make new friends while exploring "waterfall alley", including views of the Vista House and a stop at Multnomah Falls, the tallest waterfall in Oregon and most visited site in the Pacific Northwest. Your expert guide will teach you about the natural history, cultural history, and wine background of the area, as you drive the Historic Columbia River Highway Scenic Byway. You'll continue on to stop at a vineyard in the Columbia Gorge American Viticultural Area (AVA). Tasting fees included.

Q&A

Q: Are there age restrictions for the wine tasting portion of the tour?

A: Yes, participants must be 21+ to partake in the wine tasting. However, younger guests can still join the tour and enjoy the waterfalls and scenery. Just make sure to inform the provider in advance if you’re bringing anyone underage so they can accommodate you accordingly!

Q: Is there a chance the tour could be canceled due to weather?

A: Yes, there is a possibility of cancellation if the weather is too severe, especially during winter months. But they usually notify you ahead of time, and you can reschedule for a later date. Hopefully, you'll get a sunny day since the waterfalls are stunning in good weather!

Q: What should we wear for the waterfall hikes? Is it difficult?

A: The hikes are generally easy to moderate, so you don’t need to be a pro hiker! Wear comfortable shoes as the trails can be a bit uneven. Layers are a good idea since it might be cool in the morning but warm up during the tour. Definitely bring a light jacket just in case!

Just got back from the Columbia Gorge Waterfall Tour!

We did the Afternoon Tour in Columbia Gorge and it was amazing! Multnomah Falls is breathtaking, and I loved the wine tasting at the vineyard. Our guide was super knowledgeable and made the trip feel extra special. The snacks were a nice touch too! I bought this as a gift for my parents and they had the best time. Highly recommend it!

Considering gifting the Columbia Gorge Tour!

I’m really tempted to buy this tour for my sister’s birthday. She loves nature and wine! Does anyone know if it’s suitable for younger kids? I want to make sure my nieces could enjoy it too!
