Marchesi Vineyards

Marchesi Vineyards is a winery located in Hood River, Oregon, within the Columbia Gorge region. Proprietor and Winemaker Franco Marchesi, an Italian native from Piemonte, founded the winery in 2003 after falling in love with the region's climate and soil, which he found reminiscent of his birthplace. The winery is known for its Northern Italian varietals, including Dolcetto and Pinot Noir, which are planted on estate-grown vineyards that were once an abandoned apple orchard. Franco Marchesi has a long history in the wine industry, having worked as a sommelier, wine buyer, and import company owner before establishing his own winery. The tasting experience at Marchesi Vineyards is available daily from 11AM to 6PM, with no reservations required. Visitors can explore the winery's offerings, which include a range of wines released under various labels, including Il Bianco Uvaggio, Sagrantino, and Bric Uvaggio. The winery also offers a wine club program that allows members to taste award-winning wines and experience the passion and legacy of Italian winemaking.
