Sip the Gorge is an intimate holiday wine tasting and small bites pairing event celebrating the best of the Columbia Gorge AVA at the historic Mountain View Grange. For one day only, 10+ boutique, small-batch wineries will gather under one roof, pouring wines made exclusively from Columbia Gorge AVA grapes. Guests will have the chance to meet winemakers, discover new favorites, and connect with fellow wine lovers in a cozy holiday setting featuring the 3 Rivers Jazz Project.
Set alongside White Salmon’s inaugural Village Lights celebration, Sip the Gorge offers a festive wine experience with an indie spirit. It’s more than a tasting—it’s about connection, craftsmanship, and Columbia Gorge pride.
The event will be held on Sunday, December 7, 2025, from 2-6 PM at the Mountain View Grange in White Salmon. Attendance is limited to 150 guests, creating an intimate atmosphere where every sip feels personal. Proceeds from Sip the Gorge will directly support downtown White Salmon beautification projects, so each ticket sold helps give back to the community.
Why Sip the Gorge? Because every wine poured tells the story of the Columbia Gorge AVA. This event highlights boutique, independent winemakers crafting small-batch wines you won’t find just anywhere. And with its holiday edition, Sip the Gorge pairs perfectly with the sparkle of Village Lights—a weekend filled with music, carolers, pop-ups, a fun run, and festive cheer.
Make a weekend of it. Spend Saturday enjoying the Village Lights festivities and return Sunday for Sip the Gorge. Together, these events create a new holiday tradition in White Salmon, blending community spirit, small-town charm, and the remarkable wines of the Columbia Gorge.
