Domaine Pouillon — Attraction in Washington

We called from a different winery the day of and Sara was able to get our party of 3 a spot within the hour! It’s a short drive across the toll bridge from Hood River to a cute house with several options for seating.

The $25 tasting included 1 white and 4 reds, all of which were very very good. We enjoyed each selection and felt extra spoiled as the winemaker and his wife popped by to give us details about the different wines. We took our time with the tasting while enjoying the view and decided to purchase 3 bottles on our way out.

Despite the 3 bottle purchase ($110), we still got charged for 2 tastings ($50 additional). It was stated on the menu that 3 bottles = 1 tasting but when each bottle is more than a tasting it feels a bit petty to still have to pay for the tastings. The high price tag left a slightly sour taste in our mouths but luckily the yummy wine overtook it and we’ll look forward to enjoying our bottles...

Our big family and friends group visited this wonderful winery for the first time yesterday and had just a fantastic experience overall. Matt was an incredible wine expert and explained each of our tastings in such a personable and detailed way. The cozy room with a perfect set up for a large group made it that much more delightful. Jana, who helped us all with our purchases at the end was also incredibly hospitable. These two made our visit so enjoyable along with the delicious wines. As this is an annual trip, we will definitely be back to visit again next...

Domaine Pouillon is located less than 5 minutes above Old Highway 8, but feels worlds away. The tasting room has great indoor and outdoor spaces, and the vineyard setting is nothing short of spectacular. The wines are excellent, and showcase the terroir of the Columbia Valley, Horse Heaven Hills, and Columbia Gorge AVA's very well. We had a great time socializing with the tasting room staff and other patrons, and will certainly be back. Highly...
