Wine Country surrounds White Salmon!
White Salmon is home to four wine-tasting rooms, winemakers, the White Salmon Wine Walk, and surrounded by 90+ vineyards. With its amazingly diverse landscape, breathtaking views, world-class recreation, mouth-watering dining experiences, diverse lodging options, and of course, the incredible wine, White Salmon is your home base for exploring the Columbia Gorge American Viticultural Area (AVA).
Here, a handful of young, female winemakers are making waves and building their own brands, most without a tasting room of their own, left to peddle their wine through pop ups and word of mouth, or honing their skills working under the umbrella of other well-known wineries in the region.
