Mt. Hood is the highest summit in Oregon and the fourth highest in the Cascades. It features waterfalls, glaciers, and the historic Timberline Lodge, built by local artisans during the Great Depression, and featuring the longest ski season in the US. To the north of Mt. Hood is the Hood River Valley and Columbia Gorge American Viticultural Area (AVA), the lovechild of the Columbia Valley and Willamette Valley AVAs. Couples will get intimate with this area through a visit to Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood, wine tasting, and a stop at Multnomah Falls, the tallest waterfall in Oregon. The expert guide, with formal background in ecology, natural resources, and wine, will teach couples about the natural history, cultural history, and wine background of the area, as they drive the the Mt. Hood and Historic Columbia River Highway Scenic Byways. The guide will feel out the group's tastes in choosing two wineries.
