I had an exceptional experience tasting here with my mother and partner. I will definitely be back…read more The winery itself has an absolutely amazing location. There was plenty of parking, though the road up is very steep, so make sure your E-brake is working! There are two outdoor seating areas, one just outside the main entrance, and one overlooking the river. The area overlooking the river is not open to people just tasting, but it looked like the perfect place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. The interior tasting room (where we sat) is luxurious while still being comfortable. The ambiance of the entire place is lovely, and there is beautiful art and charming knick-knacks everywhere. I was pleased to see all of the pride flags-- it's cool to know you're drinking in a safe place. The woman pouring also let us know that the winery has a literary/witchy theme, which I thought was fun and an excellent conversation-starter. The wine was good. I like German varietals, and this place clearly knows how to do them well! The Gruner was my favorite, and we ended up getting an extra taste of the early harvest to compare to the mid-season, which was lovely. We also got an extra pour of some bubbles because someone else had ordered a glass. The woman pouring was incredibly friendly, very knowledgeable, and even had the winemaker herself come and chat with us for a moment. Tastings were $25 for a decent pour of 5 wines (though we ended up tasting 7) and they come with a little cheese/olive plate to boot! I was very impressed by the experience offered here. It seems this winery also does a number of events, which I am looking forward to attending. This was an amazing find, and I highly recommend you drive the extra 15 minutes out of Hood River/White Salmon if you are visiting to taste.

We visited in Aug 2025…read more For several years I have wanted to visit the Savage Grace vineyard/ winery along the Columbia River, and finally succeeded; we three visited in July 2025. The wines were the star of our experience. WINE: 5.0. The certified wine expert among us could take only 2 bottles back with her to Japan from the 11 WA and OR wineries we visited during our road trip: one of her choices was a Savage Grace Cabernet Franc. SERVICE: 4.5. Michael Savage was the sole server, and thus we were able to talk directly with the winemaker. We appreciated his unpolished explanations about the style of wines he strives for, and about his vineyards and winery. He also pointed us to a great viewpoint a few minutes away. AMBIANCE: 4.5. We sat outside next to some production equipment; somewhat rustic, and with a nice view of the Columbia Gorge.

Our family visited Savage Grace over a month ago. I wanted to take some time to formulate my…read morereview. Let me start by saying the quality of wine and the view are the only reason I gave it a 2 star review. When we arrived we were fully aware of their 2 bottle purchase policy if you do a tasting. Which you should be aware of if visiting. There was a group of 5 of us, 2 who were prepared to purchase at least 4 bottles and do the tasting, 1 who doesn't drink and wanted to see the views, and 2 designated drivers for 2 cars. First the lady asked if we had reservations which we did not. The place was nearly empty with just one other couple. She then proceeded to say before we start you let's make sure our winery is a good fit for you and then began to interrogate us about those not drinking. She tried to push smaller pours with what they call a designated driver plan for the designated drivers which we declined. Still not seated through an interrogation of our intentions, she pushed the DD plan on our 3rd person who said she felt we weren't going to get seated if she didn't accept. The tasting was super slow and took almost 2 hours. We've visited numerous wineries but this is a first where they tried to push alcohol on the designated driver. The condescending way we were greeted and treated is not worth the ok tasting wine and spectacular views. We will not be back with our next winery excursion in the Hood River area.

We had such a relaxing yet informative barrel tasting experience led by Sue last week. They let us…read moreknow ahead of time the barrel tasting room is kept cool, so be sure to bring a sweater or jacket. Glad we did, but they also had blankets available just in case. The room is cozy, and Sue guided us through the tasting at a great pace. She kept us both engaged while making it fun as she shared history of the winery and the vineyards. I especially loved the tip about freezing grapes and using it in wine to keep chilled. We tasted several wines that were still maturing which I wasn't sure I would enjoy, but was pleasantly surprised about how much I like them. A good reminder to keep an open mind! Love the pinots of course and my husband loved the bolder reds. We enjoyed the entire experience! My sister-in-law is a wine club member and bought three bottles to add to their collection. There's also a beautiful outdoor area with chairs and tables, perfect for relaxing. If you're visiting and not doing the barrel tasting, which we highly recommend, definitely take some time to sit outside, enjoy the surroundings, and of course, a glass of wine.. or two +!! Thank you to Sue for a wonderful tasting experience from beginning to end!! Cheers!!

Upside down, inside out, right side up - any way you turn it, this wine is fantastic!!!…read more A friend who is a wine club member has been raving about their wine for years, and I finally stopped in for a tasting flight. Every single wine in the flight was good, which is rare. My absolute favorite was the Mourvèdre, a serious red with dark fruit and notes of spice. Complex, yet easily drinkable. Their Mourvèdre blend was also a standout. Upside down Wine is located right on Oak, the main street in Hood River and located right next to the clothing store, Parts and Labour. The name is very subtle over the door so if you aren't intending to go here, you most likely will walk right by. Don't! The very stark, modern interior, which feels a bit sterile, comes alive with warmth from the friendly service and the chatter and laughter of other patrons. You can stand along the long bar, European style, or sit at a high top for two or in comfy chairs in the back. Now that I've had the opportunity to visit the wineries in Hood River and the Gorge multiple times, previous faves no longer hold a candle to some of my new favorites. Could be that my palette has become more refined, who knows? I just know that my top 5 list contains none of my original choices and Upside Down wine is now in the list!

This micro family run winery turns out some really lovely wines without the large factory or personnel. The Cab Franc Rose was delightful. I even enjoyed the crisp Chardonnay, and I don't typically go for Chardonnay. the reisling was also very nice. A fan of reds, both the Merlot Cab Franc blend and the Cab Franc spoke to me. Deep flavor but still light enough to drink with a variety of meals or on their own. As soon as I tasted them, I knew bottles were coming home with me! When out in this area, near White Salmon, make a point to stop in. Park on the lawn so you don't block the driveway and walk right up to the yellow house. Tastings are in the garage. Several seating areas in the adjacent yard or just stand around the fire pit in the driveway. Adding to the charm are the family dogs and children laughing and playing in the yard.
