Planning the Perfect Mother’s Day Getaway to Hood River

Located on the banks of the Columbia River, Hood River claims bragging rights to being one of the most picturesque places in the state of Oregon. Naturally, it is a superb spot to celebrate Mother’s Day, where the top-notch wineries, restaurants and natural attractions will keep mom smiling. Learn how to plan the perfect Mother’s Day getaway to Hood River right here!

Wine & Dine

In this riverfront town, one of the best brunch options on the water is provided by the Hood River Yacht Club. In nearby Cascade Locks, the Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler is another nautical option that departs on a two-hour cruise while serving a sumptuous Mother’s Day feast with bottomless Mimosas.

Moreover, since the entire region near Hood River produces wine, it doesn’t matter if you are on the Oregon side of the river or on the Washington side; the tasting rooms in both states rival those famous California ones in Napa and Sonoma. The Cathedral Ridge Winery, Marchesi Vineyards and the Hood Crest Winery are located on the Oregon side and all are excellent options for mom to enjoy a glass or two. Back in town, don’t forget to visit the tasting rooms along Oak Street such as Naked Winery, Cerulean Wine, Stave & Stone or Cascade Cliffs. Each one offers something a little different in terms of varietals and tasting options.

Hood River is also known for its amazing selection of craft beers, so if mom prefers the taste of suds over wine, then take her to Full Sail Brewing Company, Double Mountain Brewery or Big Horse Brew Pub. Each one also offers its own unique beers and special brunch menus designed especially for the day.

Additionally, for such a small population, Hood River has an impressive number of restaurants that focus on preparing locally-sourced ingredients from all over this region known for its agricultural prowess. Try the Stonehenge Gardens for a secluded brunch in converted farmhouse or Broder Øst for a culinary excursion to Scandinavia.

Relaxation

If you seek to pamper mom even further, Hood River has several spots around town that cater to beauty and wellness. From massages and manicures to full-service day spas, mom has an ample selection of options. Also, many of the resorts around the river have specials during Mother’s Day which offer luxurious spa treatments in equally elegant locations.

Aside from the natural beauty that the Columbia River Gorge has to offer, Hood River itself will undoubtedly leave mom with a Mother’s Day memory she will never forget. Plan the perfect trip with the help of Hood River Vacation Rentals; contact us today!
