Making its mark on the stunningly beautiful Columbia River Gorge, Cathedral Ridge Winery captures rave reviews, including Wine Press Northwest’s 2007 Oregon Winery of the Year.
The Columbia River Gorge AVA is home to one of the most dramatic river canyons in the country. The spectacular Columbia River flows through a route slashed through the Cascade Mountain range. From the cool, western end come delicate Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays; move eastward to the warmer-weather, and find red grapes such as Syrah, Zinfandel, Cabernets and Barberas as well as white Rieslings, Gewürztraminers and Viogniers. There are currently more than 40 wineries to be found in this newly recognized AVA.
