Wine lovers and foodies revel in tours and tastings—we think Syrah tastes even better when sipped from the bow and overlooking the hills of the riverbank. And for the adventurer, explore the Cascade playground by hike, kayak, raft, skiff, or swim. It’s all impressive and all-inclusive.

Whether you follow shorebird migrations, spawning salmon, or the harvest… pick your season and pack your bags!
