We Oregonians love wine, especially local wine, so its no surprise that in the middle of wine country there are numerous events showcasing the amazing varieties of wine from our region. The Columbia Gorge is also home to many different kinds of farms and orchards and pears are now in season. The Hood River Rotary is sponsoring the 2012 Columbia Gorge Wine & Pear Fest this weekend at the Western Antiques Aeroplane & Automobile Museum. 30 different Gorge area wineries will come together with local artisans, local bands and musicians and the top chefs in the area. "The key to budget travel is to prepare in advance. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our heads. Arranging and spending our travel budget properly is a concern for most families. Minimizing consuming and charges, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured accomplishment and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking behind saving money while touring is simple: Even if your personal finances is extremely tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, no matter whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel costs!..". Youll be able to try delicious wines and wine and pear pairings.
Located about an hour outside of Portland, Hood River is home to amazing wineries and has a fabulous small town feel. Enjoy a variety of activities besides wine tasting, including beer tasting, hiking, rafting, riding the Mt. Hood Railroad, horseback riding, windsurfing, kite boarding, seeing the countryside, hitting up the general stores with homemade foods, fruit picking and so much more. For such a little town, Hood River has something amazing for anyone, even if you just want to relax and take in a movie.
Tickets cost $20 per person and with each entry you receive a souvenir glass and five wine tasting tokens. Your ticket also includes admission to the museum, so make sure you take advantage of that. Besides wine tasting, there will be food for sale, fruit exhibits with samples, live music, entertainment and local artists with handmade items on display for purchase.
Please dont drink and drive. Make reservations to stay in a local hotel or bed & breakfast and take a cab to the event and back or have a designated driver with you who can enjoy the festival alcohol-free and get you back to your room safe and sound.
