What to do and see in Bend, Oregon (OR): The Best Food & Drink

December 28, 2021 Nicolette Lion

Only 21 miles from RDM airport, Bend is a natural playground for families and adventure travelers. Hiking and fishing along the Deschutes river, mountain biking and skiing at Mt. Bachelor are among the favorite activities. Enjoy award-winning restaurants or one of the nearly 30 breweries and pubs. Sunny weather compliments the many world class festivals and concerts. Bend is a great spot for family-friendly fun as well, from the High Desert Museum to ski areas with no fees for children under 12.

Bend Distillery

Reviewed By quiltercheri - Gaston, United States

We were so excited to be able to visit with masks and had the entire place to ourselves. Great conversation too. Unfortunately, no tour, though. Very unique flavors in the flight tasting! Had to purchase the special blends as they are a cocktail in a single pour (just add ice).

The Well Traveled Fork

The Well Traveled Fork offers insightful culinary tours and cooking classes in the Central Oregon area. You can meet the farmers and ranchers that grow the food that you put on your table. The growers will show you their fields and pastures, the places that make their products so unique that you will begin to understand and appreciate what fresh, local, organic, seasonal and sustainable food is all about!Our cooking classes are the best! Chef Bette teaches children as well as the experienced cook new things to do in the kitchen. From Wood Fired Cuisine in her pizza oven paired with Bend' famous beers to French pastry or children's classes, a day in the kitchen with Chef Bette is a memorable event.

Boneyard Beer

No-nonsense neighborhood brewery offering a large assortment of tasters and craft beers to go.

Reviewed By webcam13

We visited this tasting room a few years ago when a local bartender (at another brewery) advised that Boneyard made one of Bend's best IPAs!! We happen to agree! Although the tasting room is very small, it warrants the efforts to find especially, if you enjoy IPAs! We enjoyed the friendly staff and appreciate the Mammoth Blues & Brews festival tip!
