Impromptu trip of 6, and it was glorious! The woman working was attentive, sweet, kind, and made the experience all the more better! The property is absolutely gorgeous. We had plenty of seating. Service was quick food truck out front although we didn't eat at looked amazing when I looked at other people's plates lol I was sad the fruit shop wasn't open, but it probably is not in season?! This is the second time I've been there and I will be back!! read more

Very beautiful and clean space, lots of people visiting but very organized quick service. I had the cider flight and it's absolutely worth the money. I got 10 different tasters for $25. The blueberry, pear and mixed berry were my favorites. Highly recommend. read more

If you're in Mount Hood area on a beautiful sunny day, then the Gorge White House is a great option to hangout in the lovely garden. They have a small parking lot in front, so I can see how it could be a crowded mess on the weekends. Luckily I went on a weekday so it wasn't an issue. You order wine or cider or beer inside and then enjoy the garden. The garden is also dog friendly so you'll see a few pups out there. There's a food truck that has burgers and flatbreads. It seemed to be really slow, so you should definitely not be hungry. I got the blueberry sausage flatbread, mostly out of curiosity. It was interesting with the sweet and salty flavoring having blueberries mixed with ground sausage and cheese, but not sure I was sold on it. Still, the rose I had in the sun made the whole experience enjoyable. read more

Views and overall vibe of this property is amazing. Lots of outdoor seating, epic views of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams, fresh flowers and u-pick fruit. The cider taster was great; pours were good and it gave everyone in our party a chance to taste all the flavors. The cider and beer line moved quickly. The food truck put out some epic burgers and fries. Quality ingredients and preparation was perfect. Those crisp on the outside and tender on the inside steak fries with just a bit of salt...perfection. The only downfall is the wait on the food, right at two hours. We were given advance notice, but that's long enough to drive downtown and do some antique shopping then drive back up when the food it ready. Wish they had small pre-made plates or charcuterie in with the cider and beer so you at least have a snack while you wait. All in all, recommend. read more

Loved our food - everything was gourmet and delicious. The fries were an homage to Red Robin's, albeit crispier. The burger meat quality was superior. The pear quesadilla and blueberry flatbread were perfectly seasonal. Only downside was parking. Lots of shaded picnic tables and room for kids to roam. Charming. Would return! read more

My cousin and I came here five or six weeks ago to pick berries. Out of all the farms in the area where you could go to pick fruit, The White House has the most variety. It is one of the bigger and better known farms in the Fruit Loop. (For anyone who is unfamiliar, the Fruit Loop is a 35 mile scenic drive, featuring 28 farms along highways 35 and 281.) At the Gorge White House, depending on the time of year, you can pick cherries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, peaches, apples, nectarines, pears, and flowers. Since we came in mid-July, we were able to pick cherries, blackberries, and blueberries. They had Rainier cherries as well as dark red cherries. The views from the farm are very pretty. Picking fruit in the orchard with the views of the vineyards and the mountains is very peaceful. Picking your own fruit only costs a fraction the cost of buying it at the store. I picked like a pound of cherries and berries for $5. Lots of people were here for the wine and fresh food, which smelled DIVINE. But, it looked like fried chicken, which I can't eat, and my cousin didn't want to eat, so, we skipped it. They were also selling a very small selection of cider, frozen grapes, and fruit chips in the same building where we paid for our weighed fruit. But, as compared to the other farms, they weren't selling a lot of packaged goods. The girl who rang us up was friendly, and she also had some jokes. She was like, "Everyone comes here for the Rainier cherries, but I lowkey like the other ones better," and I actually agree with her. I had a great time, and promised myself I would come back several more times to pick fruit on a weekly basis. (So far, I've done that zero times.) Highly recommend checking this out. read more

A lovely fall stop! We closed out our day apple picking with a cider flight at The Gorge White House. Plenty of parking in a gravel lot. Real bathrooms plus temporary ones (slightly better than a portapotty). Unfortunately the actual house is not open to visit inside, but you can sit on the porch or front yard. There is a small building with a bar to order cider and indoor seating. Their ciders are great! Really lovely flavors, and perfect size samples in the flight. There is a food cart but they had an hour-plus wait (!) so we skipped it this time. Delicious smells coming from their food though. There is also U-pick available here. Throughout the year they have berries, cherries, pears, and apples. Since it was the end of the flower season, they offered free U-pick bouquets during my visit, which was lovely. read more

The Gorge White House was a great stop, I'm so glad we made the trip out. We got here right when it opened. A huge thank you to Liz for taking great care of us. We got the cider flight and it was awesome! These are some of the best ciders I have ever had! While we were tasting, we ran out to the food truck and placed a food order. Karl did a great job of cooking up our lunch. I got the White House burger. The beef was cooked beautifully, all the toppings were fresh, and the bun was nice and soft. The fries were a fantastic golden brown and had just the right amount of salt. They went perfect with the garlic aioli. The only downside of the visit was all the kids running around. I was optimistic when I saw the "No minors" signs, but it was like a daycare inside for a while. We got a couple of cider growlers to go, they will be just the thing for the family at the holiday get togethers! Great location, great service, great food! read more

This was an absolutely delightful experience! My partner and I made the drive out to Hood River from Portland with my mother, who was visiting from out of town. There was ample parking available (two lots and a third set of spaces in the grass by the entrance). Upon entering, the first thing you see are the massive fields of flowers. When we came in mid-October, everything was in bloom and absolutely stunning. If you desire, you can buy some fresh-cut flowers to take home with you. Bathrooms are abundant and clean. There are two options for tastings here-- wine and cider. We shared one of each between the three of us. They were out of a few of the wines (marked out in the photos attached), but they let us double up on the wines of our choice as a replacement. The woman pouring was very friendly. Tastings are $20/8 tastes, and the pours were very generous-- this is maybe the best deal I have seen in the Hood River/White Salmon area. The ciders were well made. My favorites were the lemon-pear and the apple, but each person in my party had a different ranking, which suggests there is something for everyone. The most interesting of the ciders was a lavender honey-- I absolutely hated this because I don't like lavender in my drinks, but my partner and mother loved it! The wine was good. It is not exceptional, but for the price point it is well worth it to try. I liked the Riesling best of the whites and the Cab Sauv best of the reds-- nice pepper finish. The Pinot Noir was a little light for my tastes but I think for a different pallet it could be a favorite. To round out our trip, we stopped by the fruit stand. There is an excellent variety of fresh fruit at good prices, and I was especially happy to find some Golden Delicious apples! These are almost impossible to get in stores now, so this was a treat. read more

When my friend told me this was one of the best burgers he had ever had I really thought he was bluffing until I tried this burger. Coming to Portland my friend and his girlfriend showed us around and The Gorge White House was one of the places they wanted to take us to. As we came here immediately were amazed with its scenery as it was very vibrant and nice. Ordering our burgers had me in disbelief when the workers told us it was gonna be about an 1hr+ wait and it had me wondering why it was that long for some burgers and fries. While we were waiting we explored the area/walked around and even got a couple of drinks and just enjoyed each others' company. After that 1hr+ wait we finally got a text message and I was very excited to try the burger and it did NOT disappoint. After I finished my meal I could see why my friend told me that this was one of the best burgers he had ever had. This place was definitely one of my highlights during my trip to Portland! read more

The Gorge White House - White House Burger - Wineries Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Second year in a row that we come at 1230 to order food and they have a 2 hour wait for food. They opened at 11! It's insane. The best is waiting in line to get to the front and then the man tells you it's that long of a wait. What's the point? They need to fix this so people stay for food instead of just the cider. read more

We shared a cider flight and they were tasty, but they were served up without any information other than " start at this end," even though we were the only people in the tasting room at the time. Not so the food truck situation --while the food is probably good, It was already so backed up we were told it would be at least 45 minutes wait for a sandwich, so we opted out. And the old house that we thought would be able to be toured is now just a storage facility, so there's nothing to do there but stroll the gardens and sit outside, which is very nice, but not what we had hoped. read more

The Gorge White House was a fantastic stop on our road trip through the PNW. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, with plenty of seating spread throughout different areas so you can relax and enjoy the scenery. We loved the U-pick flower garden--such a fun and unique touch. The drinks were excellent, from refreshing ciders to great wines and beers. Their food truck is a standout, serving some of the best burgers, flatbreads, and sandwiches we've had, and the sides are truly to die for. It's also very kid- and dog-friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable since my daughter had her dogs. If you go, definitely try a burger or sandwich paired with a cider flight--it's the perfect combo! Can't wait to go back. read more

Their ciders are amazing just wish they shipped out of the area. Can't wait to go back for More tho! read more

One of the prettiest places to stop for cider, u-pick fruit & flowers, and just hanging out, The Gorge White House is beautiful! The wait for food was over an hour long so we didn't stay for food but we did get ourselves some cider and a beer for my non-cider-loving friend. Such a gorgeous location! With tons of seating and a wide open feel to the place, it didn't seem crowded even though the parking was full to over-flowing. So relaxing just watching a grandma-type pick flowers for her family and sitting in the sun, sipping our ciders. If I had to pick a favorite among the six cider samples, I don't think I could do it. Perfect stop on the Hood River Fruit Loop! read more

Great farm for walking through orchards, gardens and raspberry rows. Lots to buy for food and drink, along with plenty of places to sit for a picnic. This is a wonderful stop for families--lots of room for children to move, explore, and have fun. Our needs were simple: get ice cream and walk around. Service was great. read more

Fun spot for cider and flower/berry picking with amazing views of Mt Hood and Adams. The food cart on site was super busy on a warm day. It was a 2 hr wait so we ordered right away. The cherry and bacon pizza, blueberry and goat cheese pizza, bacon and pear quesadilla, and burger. The blueberry pizza tasted like a breakfast sandwich! The burger and quesadilla was good. The bacon and cherry pizza was okay, not sure I'd order that again. Unfortunately, there wasn't much cherries or raspberries to pick. Plenty of blueberries though. Plenty of parking on a busy day! read more

We had a lovely afternoon at the Gorge White House. The cider flight was a highlight for sure! We also enjoyed a charcuterie board and some pie, there is one place on the property to get food, however, they told us if we ordered it would take over an hour for the food to be ready - so be prepared for that. You can also pick your own fruit which seemed to be a hit for the kiddos but we did not partake, just bought some fresh cherries to take with us. read more

If you're in Hood River in the spring or summer, make sure to make time to stop here! Great food, tasty ciders, beautiful grounds. I have yet to try any of the wines yet, but intend to do so one of these days. They offer flights for both cider and wine so you can find your favorite! My personal favorite is the lemon pear cider. The food can take a while when it's busy, but there is so much beauty to wander through it makes the time go quickly read more

Visited Gorge White House on a Saturday evening and let me just say, the views, the ambiance, the food, the drinks and overall atmosphere was perfect to unwind and decompress. Many different groups, whether families with small children or groups of friends or date night, were in attendance and was able to coexist without any issues! And best part for us is that the place is dog friendly! Plenty of seating and space to walk around the flowers or trees for photo opportunities and not feel crowded at all. Food is served from a cart onsite, but only warning be prepared to wait a little bit (we waited about 30 minutes for the two of us) since the food is delicious and only service. The drinks were amazing, we ended up getting some cider flights (Apple, white pear, lemon pear, and raspberry) and each one was so delicious! Will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone and everyone! read more

Visited the farm on July 21st and there were few cherries left to be picked, as it seems that they are coming to the end of their season. The ones we did find for so juicy and luscious in flavor. It was a bit of a hike to walk to them in the trees. The blackberries were also plentiful but not quite at their peak. I imagine they will be perfect in the next week or so! The blueberries weren't quite ready and the raspberries seemed to be done, as we couldn't find any to pick.There is food to eat and drinks to be had on a quaint patio. Enjoy mountain views. Parking lot and bathrooms available on-site. read more

We thought we'd stop here because we assumed everyone would have plenty of their own products to sell. We weren't interested in drinking since we were driving (and it was early in the day) but figured we could buy a bottle of something to take home. So the parking was awful. It's crowded and disjointed but you can probably make a spot somewhere. All we saw was a bunch of people drinking. That's cool and all, but I was expecting more. They do have nice flowers for U-pick if that's what you're into. The little store had nothing in it really. It looked abandoned if I'm being honest. We then went over to the wine and cider building. There was quite a long line of people waiting to get their drinks and no one available to help if you wanted anything other than that. I expected to buy a bottle but there weren't any we could see and to be honest, I'm not waiting a half hour or more just to buy something from you. There wasn't much but there was one local thing we wanted and opted to leave instead since no one was going to just cash us out on the other side. Even if you do just want to go drink I'd say do so here only if you like long lines and waiting. I've never seen lines like this at a vineyard or tasting room no matter how busy. read more

Popped in on a absolutely beautiful fall Saturday afternoon with a few friends. Parking here can be a little bit hectic, but it seems like people come and go in waves. Plus there are about three parking lots, one is accessible from a separate entrance from the road. The main reason why I am only giving three stars is the overall lack of service. Food is available from one building, and drinks from another. Condiments for your French fries? Get someone's attention, ask for a ramekin, then squirt some all over your hand because the dispenser's nearly empty. Need some napkins? Get someone's attention then ask for some, because the dispenser is empty. Need some water? Go find it tucked into a corner of the bar building. Need ranch? Get someone's attention, and ask them for some, so they can stand at a window and pour it out of a Costco-sized container into a ramekin and hand it to you. That said, my friends and I all agreed that our burgers were absolutely delicious. The french fries were steak cut, and unsalted. read more

The Gorge White House is a beautiful location surrounded by green hills and snow capped Mt Hood in the distance. While the food is just ok, the various ciders are delicious and refreshing. The staff and friendly and polite. It is definitely a great place to bring visitors but expect a long wait for food and large crowds in the summer. read more

Perfect way to spend a summer afternoon just an hour outside of Portland. I visited in July while just about all their fruits were in season, so I had a great time with their U-Pick offering. Despite being a popular location, fruit was plentiful and I ended up with a tasty selection of blackberries, raspberries, cherries, blueberries, and strawberries. So yummy. Highly recommend picking fruit first then popping into the bar area to get some of their hard cider made with their own fruit! I opted for the cider flight of white peach, mixed berry, cherry, and apple. They also have some food options and seating to stop & enjoy your cider and fresh picked fruit. I liked the White Peach cider so much I even purchased a growler to go. Overall just a lovely spot to visit especially in the summertime. I have recommended this place to many friends and look forward to coming back! read more

The Gorge White House - Patio - Wineries Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Beautiful stop along the Hood River "Fruit Loop!" We visited on a weekday in late Spring, so they weren't busy. The Hubs and I shared a flight of all their hard ciders (ten altogether!), which was reasonably priced. Their hard ciders come in a variety of flavors from the standard apple and pear, to more unique, such as honey lavender. They also make their own wines which are popular. They don't allow outside food, but they have their own food truck on site with a good looking menu that's appropriate to pair with their wines & ciders, along with a kids menu. We haven't tried their food yet, but it looked delicious. They have seating inside, outside on their picturesque patio with shade from some trees and umbrellas, next to the historic, old "white house," and plenty of picnic tables out on the lawn. They add shade covers & umbrellas to the picnic tables on the lawn in the Summer. They have nice, clean restroom facilities adjacent to the parking lot (a real building with plumbing, not just a porta potty like most other stops along the Fruit Loop have). It was nice to wander the grounds and take in the beautiful surroundings. read more

After visiting nearby waterfalls, we decided to head to The Gorge White House for a late lunch. Beautiful views of the rolling hillsides and fruit trees with Mt. Hood as the backdrop helped make this a fantastic summer destination. With our kids in tow, we ordered burgers, paninis and flatbreads from the order window, then grabbed a flight of cider to taste in the meantime (my favorite was the pear--some of the others were a bit too sweet for my taste). The food took a long time to prepare (40+ minutes), but a small gripe in the big picture. After we finished, we grabbed a basket and picked berries and cherries from the farm. A great way to end the afternoon. Highly recommended. (4.75 stars). read more

The Gorge White House - Wine Flight + Cider Flight - Wineries Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

A must-do while in Hood River during spring and summer!! Great, fruity selection of ciders and wines - and I think it's worthwhile to share a flight with your group if it's your first time! The lemon pear cider is my personal favorite, but many of them are great options depending on what you like. They have an excellent food truck, although I will warn you that it can take quite a while to get food when it's busy, so just keep that in mind. Everything is so tasty! Over my many visits, I have tried and loved the Gorge White House Burger, Caprese, and all three of the flatbreads. You can't go wrong! During the right parts of the season, you can pick flowers and berries, and they have a good set-up for it. A great thing to do while waiting for your food! :) Besides all of the great services, it also has beautiful mountain views of both Hood and Adams. A great spot to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the valley! read more

Well, we tried. My friends and I wanted to visit someplace new for apple picking this year, so we decided to try The Gorge White House. Maybe we weren't looking in the right place, but we only find a small row with red apples. The other trees seemed to be picked over with no apples. And...The apples we did find were soft and not crisp. However, we also decided to try some cider during our visit, and the white peach cider was delicious! We would definitely get it again. The service is OK. They will fill your glass, but you will need to bus your own table. We also heard traffic from our outdoor table which detracted from our experience. We ended up going to another orchard after our lackluster visit. read more

We stumbled on this cute place on the way to another favorite place in The Gorge. It was so very crowded that day. I think it was close to a two-hour wait for food, but we were only interested in the cider that day anyway. They make all their cider in house. And you can get a flight to try them all. The flight is perfect to see which ones you like the best. We have been several times to fill our growlers. We do hope they bring back the orange cider soon. It was amazing! They have plenty of seating outside. It's very cute and spacious. You can also pick fruit in season if you want! Great places for dates or for friends. read more

Picking berries here on the weekend was a lot of fun. The blackberry bushes were thornless which makes picking much quicker. And if you have little kids, you don't have to stress about them getting hurt. Snag a bucket at the little shop, snap a picture of the map so you have it on your phone, and head into the fields for as long as you like. When you're done, head back to the shop and get weighed out. In one trip we got blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, cherries, and an assortment of flowers. You're probably not going to save money here by picking your own stuff, but the experience and flavors are worth it! read more

When I have friends visiting me in town, I try to take them out of town to The Gorge White House to not only enjoy the views on the drive out to Hood River but to enjoy views whilst in Hood River. This spot has it all - photo ops, u-pick fruit, berries and flowers, wine, tasty, upscale pub food (that's how I would interpret what is offered), dog-friendly.
