We loved this place. My wife and I visited this place with a few friends and had a great time. It is a great setting, with the 5 acre vineyard right next to the tasting room. The service was excellent and the wine was very good. We really liked the red blend. We went on a Saturday afternoon and the... More

My brother in law lives across from Hood River in Underwood, WA & he took us here two weeks ago during the Hood River Passport wine festival. It was a beautiful spring day and we sat outside on their patio sampling 5 different wines. The servers were knowledgeable & friendly & the owner was really personable..coming over and asking how...

If you are travelling through or visiting the Columbia River Gorge, you have to stop at Marchesi's for a great wine-tasting and very charming experience! Signor Marchesi came from arguably the best wine producing region in Italy and brought the wines and traditions of his land. The wine is great: I love the Nebbiolo, the Primitivo (Zinfandel), the Barbera and... More

Love the wines, the snacks (esp. the salami from the antique slicer) and the cats. Treated like we were long-lost family.

My husband and I visited Hood River for the first time in November. We had no plan of attack so we just dashed around the river area visiting wineries. As a sommelier, it was unfortunately underwhelming for most of the afternoon. Then our GPS picked up Marchesi Vineyards..hmmm...sounds Italian...and off we went. The weather was cool and drizzly outside but... More

Marchesi is the best place for wine tasting in The Columbia River Gorge. The owners Franco and Sandy serve their award winning Italian style wines with a complementary assortment of cheeses and meats in a small courtyard facing Mt. Hood. Could heaven be better than this?

I'm a local. This is THE BEST wine tasting experience in the Gorge. Get here before everyone in Oregon and Washington discovers this experience. Great wine, great setting, great people. The owner is there most of the time and is very approachable and interested in educating patrons about Italian varietals, his wine, etc. They also offer cheeses and antipasto with... More

The before mentioned reviews really say it all. I really wanted to add that this was the best wine tasting experience we have ever had. It seems that a lot of winery owners are so pretentiuos. The owners and staff of Marchesi know that drinking wine is supposed to be a fun thing! So, a fun atmosphere with great wine... More

If I remember right, we found this place while Googling different wineries in Hood River but even if we hadn't, a shop keeper downtown directed us there and even called upon the approval of some nearby customers. The vineyards are across the street from a school on Belmont, just a little bit out of downtown Hood River. You'll pull around... More
