As a child he always wondered what it would be like to be a winemaker like his grandfather Achille. After running his own import company specializing in Italian wines for over 20 years, Franco began planting his favorite Northern Italian grapes in Hood River, where the climate and soil are just like Northern Italy. Please come visit, and taste our wines. Salute! « less

Recommended by another tasting room in Hood River we visited this wonderful unexpected gem, purchasing several bottles at the time. When they served a cheese tray to pair with the red wines we longed to be back in Italy where hospitality was born! This was a wonderfully relaxed experience. We recently drank the 2012 Valentino Primitivo at home and were... More

We had an excellent tasting experience at Marchesi Vineyards. The tasting room is very comfortable and the perfect place to have a glass of wine.

As the title states, the vineyard produces some nice wines, very reasonably priced, the tasting is generous with small snacks and a warm smile. We truly enjoyed our time there, we had our folks with us who are really not into wine and they enjoyed themselves trying a taste here and there and enjoying the surroundings which included fresh hot...

My wife and I visited Hood River for a weekend exploring the area wineries. We dropped in on a crystal clear Friday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised not only by the quality of the wines but also of the tasting experience. Marchesi had just released two new wines and our server was genuinely enthusiastic about each one. He gave a... More

I was surprised that a few reviewers didn't like the the staff. The staff really impressed me since the day we were there the place was mobbed. They were polite and they... More

The best wine tasting we have ever experienced, including many in Italy and Germany. The wines were excellent, host very knowledgeable, yet warm & friendly. The complementary cheese, meat, olive oil, bread and crackers only added to our experience. Sitting in the comfortable patio seating, overlooking the vineyards - perfect. No pressure to buy, only to sit and enjoy the... More

My friends and I visited Marchesi Vineyards in September 2012. We enjoyed tasting the delicious wines, but were treated very rudely by a member of the staff. I informed the server that because of the $5 tasting fee not being waived with the purchase of a bottle, I wouldn't be purchasing a bottle. Her attitude was "what? because of $5"?... More
