Illusion Winery - Black Diamond, Washington

Illusion Winery - Black Diamond, Washington

There is a winery that truly fits the name it has chosen with Illusion.  Located in the hills above the Columbia River this small winery and tasting room opens for your enjoyment most weekends during the summer and over the holiday periods.  The winery and Dante's Ranch Vineyard offers sweeping views of Dillacort Canyon, Swale Canyon, Stacker Butte ans well as Mount Adams, Mount Hood and a sliver of the Columbia River.  What a fabulous setting to sit back and enjoy a glass of quality wine.

The winery was founded in 2002.  The small production facility in Western Washington is not open to the public.  But the vineyard is and the tasting room so you will find yourself a wonderful bottle of wine to remember the fabulous views, nice people and the easy setting.

Not only will you enjoy your time at the winery but the activities available in the Columbia River Gorge will keep you busy from the time you arrive until you must leave.  Even though you probably will want to stay forever, sometimes home does call.  The Gorge is less and an hour east of Portland and just four hours from Seattle and offers world-class cuisine, hiking, fishing, windsurfing, museums and the unique opportunity to visit more than 30 wineries.
