Discover the wines of the Columbia River Gorge AVA on a three-day journey through one of the Pacific Northwest's most exciting wine regions. From dramatic vineyard landscapes to intimate tastings with pioneering natural winemakers, this immersive tour explores the people, places, and practices shaping Southern Washington's vibrant wine culture. Along the way, enjoy thoughtfully prepared meals, breathtaking scenery, and the relaxed pace that defines life in the Gorge.

Join The Tiderun for a three-day exploration of Southern Washington & Northern Oregon’s natural wine movement. This is a journey for curious drinkers, adventurous eaters, and anyone who believes the best wines tell the story of the landscape they come from.

The Columbia River Gorge is unlike any other wine region in North America. Stretching across the Oregon and Washington border, this remarkable AVA is defined by dramatic contrasts—lush forests give way to high desert, volcanic cliffs rise above the Columbia River, and cool marine air gradually transitions to an arid continental climate. These shifting landscapes create one of the world's most diverse growing regions, where dozens of grape varieties thrive and natural winemakers are redefining what Pacific Northwest wine can be.
