Get ready, Hood River — a fresh new tradition is brewing! This fall, we’re raising a glass to two of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic seasonal offerings: crisp craft ciders and fresh hop beers.

Join us for the first-ever Hood River Orchard & Ale Festival, a fresh festival that brings together the region’s finest cidermakers and brewers during peak harvest season. Nestled in the heart of orchard country and hop fields, this event is your chance to sip the freshest pours in one of Oregon’s most scenic settings.

FREE entry for those under 21 – ticket required

We do not require a tasting glass to participate in the tastings. Commemorative glasses are optional and are available for purchase ahead of time. Limited supplies will be available at the event.

If not purchasing a glass, please help us reduce our waste footprint by bringing your own! Jars, mugs steins, are all allowed. Otherwise, your tastes will be served in a plastic cup.

No refunds. All Sales Are Final. Rain or Shine.
