Solstice Press Highlights

Oregon Wine A-List Awards recognize restaurants across the world displaying enthusiasm for Oregon wine and a deep appreciation of the diverse regions, varietals and producers of Oregon.

June—Every Day with Rachel Ray magazine: The Hood River Fruit Loop and the Solstice Country Girl Cherry Chorizo Pizza are featured.

"This husband-and-wife team believes in sourcing food from local farmers, ranchers and purveyors to bring customers organic food at a fair price." 

Afterward, stop in at Solstice Wood Fire Cafe & Bar to replenish with a Country Girl Cherry Pizza with chorizo and goat cheese ($13) and local wine.

After months of anticipation, the pizza purveyors at Solstice Wood Fire Café will officially open their doors for a grand opening this Friday at their new location at the Hood River waterfront.

“Amazing pizzas, soups, and desserts,” says Marilyn Happold-Latham of Portland. “Worth the drive up I-84—cross the Columbia at Hood River—for the cherries-and-chorizo pizza and the kombucha tea on tap.”

Among the 50 best pies in the country: the Country Girl Cherry pizza from Solstice Wood Fire Café. FOOD NETWORK MAGAZINE editors were won over by the Country Girl Cherry pizza, which combines cherries from the Columbia River Gorge region paired with chorizo sausage and goat cheese, topped off with a sprinkle of rosemary and thyme.
