About Marchesi Vineyards
Marchesi Vineyards is a family-owned winery in the Columbia River Gorge near Hood River, producing Italian-inspired wines from estate vineyards planted on the volcanic slopes above the valley. Founded by Franco Marchesi, who grew up in an Italian winemaking family, the estate specializes in Barbera, Dolcetto, Primitivo, Sangiovese, and Pinot Grigio alongside Pinot Noir, drawing on the warm microclimate of the Gorge to ripen Mediterranean varietals that struggle in cooler parts of Oregon.
The tasting room on Belmont Drive offers panoramic views of Mount Hood and the Hood River Valley, with outdoor seating surrounded by vineyards and orchard trees. Marchesi has built a devoted following for bringing authentic Italian winemaking heritage to Oregon wine country, and the combination of Italian varietals, stunning Gorge scenery, and warm family hospitality makes it one of the most distinctive stops in the region.
