Things to do in Vancouver, Washington (WA): The Best Food & Drink

August 21, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

Steeped in history, Vancouver is the oldest city in Washington. Once the largest western outpost of the British Hudson's Bay Company, where supplies and food were bartered in the 1800s, it was closed in 1860 as Americans took over commerce. The outpost was later recreated as the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. For more history, check out the Pearson Air Field, the oldest operating airfield in the West, where vintage aircraft are displayed at the Pearson Air Museum. If adventure is your bag, Vancouver is the perfect base for day trips to the Columbia River Gorge, the breathtakingly beautiful 70-mile river stretch that cuts through the Cascade Mountains, or Mount St. Helens, the site of the famous volcano, both of which offer a slew of outdoor activities. For calmer pastimes, cruise the picturesque river in the Columbia Gorge riverboat, or visit Beacon Rock, the world's second largest monolith, where a walking trail leads to spectacular panoramic views.

What a lovely gem in the midst of downtown Vancouver! From the stunning salmon sculptures to the welcoming benches, this park is an absolute pleasure. My husband and I were lucky enough to be in Vancouver during sunny weather; we would pick up sandwiches at the nearby Subway and go this park to enjoy them. Judging by the numbers of dog walkers and kids of all ages who passed by, the locals love it here too.

Brothers Cascadia Brewing

Reviewed By roberti394

An excellent small brewery with tasting room in the Hazel Dell area of Vancouver WA. The offerings are seasonal and fresh. Their stout is superb as is the current seasonal Festbier, an Oktoberfest lager. The brewery has open seating indoors and outdoors (covered picnic tables outdoors). A selection of food trucks parked at the brewery have tasty offerings and will bring orders into the brewery tables. This is a favorite spot for meetings of friends. Great spot for a few pints and sports viewing. Growler fills and take-home pacs at fair prices.

This has become one of our favorite wineries on the Columbia River & have been visiting their place in eastern Washington for years. This spot is wonderful, right on the river close to town with their patio seating a must visit! We went back twice while in town enjoying the view and wine. But don’t miss their food. We’ve had their crab cakes, almonds, olive plate and mushrooms, bread and olive oil plate.
