The Columbia River demands more than a quick stop.
Handcrafted pastries from scratch each morning. A curated wine list drawn from the Pacific Northwest's finest vineyards. A dockside lounge built for lingering.
Morning Croissant & Columbia Valley Riesling — the perfect river start.
Born where the river meets the benchland.
Alta Cellars Dockside Lounge grew from a simple conviction: the Columbia River valley deserves a place where exceptional baked goods and thoughtful wine sit side by side, without compromise.
Every morning, our oven fires before dawn. Sourdough loaves, flaky croissants, and seasonal tarts are crafted in-house from locally milled flour and regional dairy. By afternoon, the wine wall comes alive — 40+ selections from Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley, and Walla Walla vineyards, chosen to complement everything from a buttery brioche to a robust red reduction.
