Founded in 1934 and headquartered in Hood River, OR, Hood River Distillers is the Northwest’s largest and oldest importer, distiller, producer, bottler and marketer of distilled spirits. Rooted in Oregon for the past 86 years, Hood River Distillers began by making fruit wines and brandies from the apples and pears that were going to waste as excess production from the valley’s abundant harvests. Located along the Columbia River with majestic Mt. Hood as its backdrop, Hood River Distillers has been at its current bottling facility in Hood River since 1969.
