Columbia River: Harvests, History, and Landscapes of the Pacific Northwest

Embark on a Columbia River voyage through Northwest history, geology, and wine.

Highlights

  • Marvel at Multnomah Falls and hike iconic Beacon Rock — an 848-foot basalt monolith rising straight from the Columbia River.
  • In Astoria, trace the footsteps of the Corps of Discovery at Cape Disappointment, where Meriwether Lewis first glimpsed the Pacific in 1805.
  • Enjoy nightly tastings of the region’s best wines, personally selected by Food & Wine magazine’s executive wine editor, Ray Isle — plus, gain exclusive access to private tours and tastings with local winemakers.
  • Savor gourmet, seasonal menus featuring ingredients sourced primarily from the surrounding Pacific Northwest region.
This is a shared departure operated by Lindblad.
