Brian Carter Tasting Room Brian Carter Cellars. The tasting room offers a wide range of wines, from refreshing Spanish white wines to full-bodied Bordeaux-like blends that may satisfy many tastes.įrom the nine wines flight, we favored 2019 Albarino (Spanish grape) because of its apricot and lemon candy character and 2019 Roussane (Southern France grape) for pear-luscious aroma and flavor and refreshing pineapple aftertaste. Barnard Griffin Tasting Room Bernard Griffin Tasting Flightīarnard Griffin of Barnard Griffin winery has been making wines since 1983. There were a couple of less prominent Washington wineries that sparked our interest. While they’ve been growing and selling grapes to other wineries since the 1970s, Airfield Estate Winery was founded in 2005 when they started producing wines from their grapes themselves. The winery got its name from the airbase converted into Airport Ranch in 1946. Speaking of the jets, one of the wineries is Airfield Estates, based out of Yakima Valley, Washington.
There’s a good mix of well-recognized wineries, including Maryhill, Pepper Bridge, Amavi Cellars, and lesser-known wineries on the waterfront. Half a dozen tasting rooms are right along the waterfront promenade, and you can spend all day tasting wine and enjoying the views of the Columbia River and F-16 jets taking off from PDX airport.
We explored wine tasting rooms, bars, and restaurants, and here are some of our impressions and recommendations. The downtown Portland area feels abandoned and is still recovering from lockdowns and riots of 2020-2021 and the ongoing homeless camps problem.Īs locals, we prefer the modern look and party vibe of the Vancouver Waterfront anytime. Some even think it may steal most Portland visitors. Thanks to the rejuvenation and development project of the former industrial port area on the Columbia River in Vancouver, Washington, the area transformed into modern and beautiful oases that attract visitors from both sides of the river. Vancouver Waterfront quickly became a hot destination in the Portland-Vancouver metro. Our Vancouver Waterfront Wine and Food Guide is for everyone who wants to explore the best of this lovely Portland neighbor, that keeps growing and becoming more beautiful every day.
