The story

Hood River Valley Blossom Time in Hood River

Hood River Valley Blossom Time marks the April opening weekend of the Hood River Fruit Loop, a self-guided 35-mile country drive past 32 on-the-farm fruit stands, wineries, breweries and cideries as the valley's pear, apple and cherry trees begin flowering.

Fruit growing has defined the Hood River Valley's economy since 1855, when the first orchards went into the ground in the shadow of Mount Hood, taking advantage of the valley's volcanic soil and the temperature moderation provided by the nearby Columbia River Gorge.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Hood River Valley has grown fruit commercially since the first orchards were planted in 1855, and today roughly 14,500 acres of pears, apples and cherries cover the valley, giving the spring blossom season a working-agricultural backdrop rather than a purely ornamental display

02

The mystery stays covered

Blossom Time functions as the seasonal kickoff to the Fruit Loop's self-guided touring season, when the 32 member farms along the 35-mile scenic loop open for the year with fields of blooming fruit trees and flowers alongside their regular stands, letting visitors combine the visual spectacle of orchard blossoms with direct farm-to-visitor sales of local products
