In 2022, we held our 16th annual Aanpama Harvest & Music Festival and it was truly the best ever! As always, we are looking forward to improving upon it and celebrating again this year.

As many know, I love cars! This year I am inviting those who have a sweet ride to bring it to harvest. We will line up the cars on the lower lawn with the river in the background, then vote for the winner. The winner takes home a bottle of my Aanpama wine! Everyone will admire the cars and enjoy the great photo ops.

Please RSVP now. If you have any issues, you may instead RSVP by phone or email. Overnight guests, please indicate whether you will camp in a tent or bring your RV/camper. Tent camping will be exclusively around the pond this year. For those not planning to spend the night, let us know and we will be happy to send you an email with a list of the nearest hotels.

To make a day of it, head out Friday afternoon and stay at the Best Western Plus in Hood River on the Columbia River. They have a wonderful breakfast. Saturday, head across the bridge up the Washington side on SR 14. There are many wineries with wine tasting starting at 11am. Two of my favorites are Jacob Williams and Maryhill. Both are on the river with epic views and outdoor seating. Maryhill’s Bistro is perfect for lunch on the way. From there you have about 30 minutes to drive to arrive by 4pm when the first band starts playing.

Directions to the vineyard will be emailed the week of the Festival to those who RSVP as attending. It is 2 hours from Portland.

I look forward to partying together!
