A one-of-a-kind place to relax and enjoy
the wine world of Oregon's Columbia Gorge

    A jewel in the Columbia Gorge wine region, Cathedral Ridge Winery invites the visitor to stay a while and enjoy a relaxed stroll through its grounds and vineyards.  Sit for a while by one Relax by Cathedral Ridge vineyardof the vineyards and enjoy a view of Mt Adam's summit; hike to the beautiful meadow above the vineyard, and take in a view of Mt Hood.  Or better yet, attend an event or plan your own in the meadow or on the lawn where guests enjoy a panoramic view of the vineyards and the mountains as well.

      Whatever you do, don't pass up an opportunity to include this winery in your personal or group's itinerary of Columbia Gorge wine touring... there is plenty of parking space for any kind of vehicle, including tour busses.  If you decide to stay a while to enjoy the area, you can talk to the folks next door at Vineyard View Bed and Breakfast where special discounts are offered to winery customers and Wine Club members.


    Adding to the visual treat of Cathedral Ridge's location are the unusual characteristics of its terroir.  The winery sits in the middle of the Cascade Range, where a stirring of marine air from the west and dry desert air from the east creates a rapid transition of ecosystems... from thick Douglas fir to scrub oak and Ponderosa pine.  This unique transitional zone makes possible the growing of a wide variety of grapes.

      On the outside chance that the majesty of this location is of little interest to you, consider the wines and winemaker of Cathedral Ridge - formerly Flerchinger Vineyards.  Today's Cathedral Ridge maintains the best of its predecessor's wines and produces its own distinctive wines at the hands of winemaker Michael Sebastiani who brings his California family's passion for winemaking to the Cathedral Ridge scene.

      The most popular Flerchinger wines - its White Riesling, Blush, and Halbtrocken (a "half-dry," secret blend of five varietals) - continue to be produced under the Flerchinger label.  Sebastiani expresses his talent and enthusiasm for Northwest wine grapes in his production of all Cathedral Ridge wines as well, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling.

      Rain or shine, Cathedral Ridge Winery insures a great time for all, whether you come to visit on your own or to join a group and the festivities

of planned events.  The winery's tasting room is drenched with light, a perfect match for its light-hearted staff.  Large, covered areas extend from the winery, beautified by huge, flowering pots and hanging baskets; and a sweeping lawn stretches to a vineyard's edge, creating a perfect area for outdoor activities, al fresco dining and picnics.

   Come tour the agriculturally rich Hood River Valley and take time to visit Cathedral Ridge Winery... a one-of-a-kind place to relax and enjoy the wonderful world of Oregon's Columbia Gorge wine country.

2006 Pinot Gris
Columbia Gorge
$15.00 bottle
[Order Now]

Our Pinot Gris offers lighter-bodied flavor and texture that makes it a versatile white wine - excellent for cooking or served with hors d'oeuvres, lighter pastas, fish and poultry dishes. 10% Estate Pinot Gris was added to our Clark Ziegler vineyard grapes to adjust the acidity and add characters of nuts & apricots native to the Hood River Valley. Finally we added 6% Chardonnay to complete the blend.

2007 Riesling
 Columbia Gorge
$15.00 bottle
[Order Now]

Fuji apples, apricots  and mineral tones fill the nose followed by a juicy and refreshing mouth feel, clean with light acidity.  As refreshing as biting into a fresh and juicy Fuji apple.  This Riesling is semi-sweet (with residual sugar less than 2%) with a balanced acidity that makes this a wonderful, fresh wine that is easy to drink and pairs well with many foods.
This is the perfect summer drinking wine!  Production: 608 cases

Save up to 20% by purchasing by the case.

2006 Pinot Noir
$26.00 bottle
[Order Now]

Our 2006 Pinot Noir is a wonderful wine that showcases the beautiful fruit grown in the Bangsund vineyard in The Dalles, Oregon.  The site is very steep; turned slightly Southeast and is very hot at times.  Every night cooling breezes come down from Mount Hood covering every cluster with dew.  This is our second year making Pinot Noir since finding the appropriate vineyard at John Bangsund’s ranch.  Soft, elegant and smooth.  Cherry and cranberry flavors swirl around in the soft tannins, hinting at black olives and cocoa.  An excellent food wine!
Our Pinot Noir this year is 100% Pinot Noir fruit.

100% Syrah grapes from 3 top local vineyards – Bangsund, Bailey and Kortge. The Bangsund Syrah starts as our base, beginning with deep, rich flavors and we blend in some spicy and earth tones with our other grapes. Keeping this blend 100% Syrah showcases the Gorge’s ability to ripen rich Syrah flavors, while softening the tannin on the vine.

[Order Now]

Our 2006 Zinfandel is the follow up to our "Best In Show" award winning '05 Zin at the 2007 Oregon Wine & Food Festival! A slightly fuller bodied Zin than our previous vintage.  It retains the vibrant spiciness while exhibiting a richer fruit profile.  Hints of plum and fig mix with a peppery finish to create a complex and enjoyable flavor.  Perfect for pairing. This complex wine is good with everything from grilled foods to Spanish tapas.  Production: 381 cases

Free shipping on all cases of red

2006 Rock Star Red
$44.00 bottle

Our premier Syrah blend that deserves a standing ovation. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon with 50% Syrah.  For this wine we take our 2 best batches of wine and combine them to showcase the premier flavors of The Columbia Gorge– we blend and find a wine of rich complexity and supple mouthfeel.  Barrel aged for 20 months, this is our richest and softest wine, and with less than 200 cases made, always a hard one to come by. It will age gracefully for the next 5-7 years.
