Multnomah Falls and Hood River Farm Tour

Published: Jun 28, 2015 · This post may contain affiliate links

Last month I had the opportunity to visit Multnomah Falls and take a Hood River Farm Tour thanks to OXO and Travel Oregon. I was so excited when I saw this tour being offered. I have been wanting to visit Multnomah Falls for a really long time. It has been years since I visited the waterfall and I kept telling John we needed to hop in the car and drive to Portland specifically so I could take pictures of the falls.

Multnomah Falls and Hood River Farm Tour

Multnomah Falls is the highest waterfall in the state of Oregon. The falls are easily accessible along a quick walking path. The 611-foot tall waterfall is truly spectacular.

For an up-close and personal view, you can walk up the hill to Benson Bridge.

There is a restaurant on-site along with a gift shop and interpretive center. Keep an eye out for gorgeous wildflowers and possible wildlife. You never know what you will see as you wander the trails enjoying the gorgeous view of the waterfalls.

From Multnomah Falls we hit the road and headed for gorgeous Hood River, Oregon. Hood River's Valley has 15,000 acres of orchards that produce approximately 45% of the nation's winter pear crop. One thing that might surprise you is Hood River is often considered the windsurfing capital of the world.  You can enjoy a great day on the water and then savor a farm to table dinner with local wines! The perfect combination of adventure and delicious food.

Hood River County Fruit Loop

The Hood River County Fruit Loop is a gorgeous 35-mile loop that takes you through Hood River Valley and gives you the chance to see amazing orchards, vineyards, forests, and farms. Plus there are ample places to stop and enjoy the local produce! Hello yum!

Our first stop on the Hood River Fruit Loop was the gorgeous Draper Girls Country Farm. Located an hour from downtown Portland this farm is the perfect spot for fresh produce and relaxation.

They have a truly amazing flower garden that I could have spent hours photographing. They have a petting farm area with super cute goats and you can u-pick fresh produce. They offer u-pick cherries, apples, pears, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, and nectarine..or pretty much every fruit you could imagine and love.

 

Plus check out the amazing view of Mount Hood from Draper Girls Country Farm! The perfect spot to relax and enjoy your fresh-picked fruit with this gorgeous view.

For lunch and a bit of cider tasting, we visited The Gorge White House. The Gorge White House is a 1908 Dutch Colonial home in the heart of Hood River. Gorge White House offers wine tasting, cider tasting, and a delicious food truck. You can also pick fresh fruit and flowers at the farm.

We had the opportunity to sample a few of their delicious ciders and trust me when I say you want to try them. SOOOO GOOD! Plus the pizza from the food truck is beyond delicious.

How can you go wrong with fresh produce from the farm incorporated into delicious pizzas? A few not to be missed include the Cherry, Bacon, Gorgonzola or the Spicy Sausage with Blueberry & Goat Cheese or the Pear, Caramelized Onion, White Cheddar!

The Gorge White House is the perfect place to relax in the afternoon with a glass of wine or cider and enjoy amazing views of Hood River Valley!

Our final stop on the tour was Sakura Ridge for a farm tour and dessert buffet. This gorgeous bed and breakfast are perched on 72 acres with amazing views of Mt. Hood. The farm has thousands of fruit trees and their flowers are beyond amazing.

Filled with gorgeous pastries and amazing photos from our days' adventures we headed back to Portland. This day's tour of Multnomah Falls and Hood River was truly amazing. I can't thank OXO and Travel Oregon enough for putting together this trip for us.

    I love Multnomah falls - it's so beautiful. We try to stop every time we make the trip from Yakima to Portland and it's always as beautiful as the time before!

      Alison, Isn't it amazing how you can go from Eastern Washington with our dry dessert landscape to lush green Portland in a few hours. I love living in the Pacific Northwest.

    This looks like an awesome place to visit with the water falls. I have never see such a gorgeous place as this one. The GreenSavers are totally awesome indeed and I am going to have to get some of these for sure. They would make a great gift idea too. Thanks for sharing.

    Gorgeous pictures! I really need to get to Multnomah Falls someday! I live in Seattle and it's really not that far. Last summer we made it to Crater Lake and down the California coast, so maybe this one or next will get to that part of Oregon. That oxo product looks amazing!

    Multnomah falls is beautiful! We had a chance to hike to Oneonta Gorge too. It was super fun and the water was cold!

    I have never been to Oregon but it looks amazing. All your photos are breathtaking. Multnomah Falls looks amazing I would love to see this but I am not sure I would be brave enough to go on Benson Bridge I am not fond of heights. But I might have to force myself to see that spectacular view. Thanks for sharing I am going to talk to my husband about visiting Oregon!
