The Distillery Story

Hood River Distillers, established in 1934, is the oldest and largest distillery in the Pacific Northwest. Located in Hood River, Oregon, near the Columbia River and Mt. Hood, the distillery has deep roots in the region’s agricultural history. It began by producing fruit wines and brandies using surplus apples and pears from local orchards, laying the foundation for its reputation as a pioneer in the spirits industry. Today, Hood River Distillers produces and markets a diverse portfolio of spirits, including Timberline Vodka, Big Gin, and Clear Creek Distillery’s renowned brandies. The company is also known for innovative offerings like Double Mountain Hopped Whiskey, which reflects its commitment to blending tradition with creativity. Its products are crafted with precision and a focus on quality, making them popular among both casual drinkers and connoisseurs. The distillery’s downtown Hood River tasting room offers visitors the chance to sample its wide range of spirits, enjoy mini-cocktails, and purchase barware or gift items.
