My two cents worth, not being a wine enthusiast. If you are in the Gorge, go to Maryhill Winery. The winery itself sits on the cliff overlooking the Columbia River Gorge. Absolutely stunning views of the winery and the river below.
The wineries are not that far from Portland, if you want to stay in Portland and take day trips.
The Evergreen Aviation Museum is very cool. Glenn Odekirk, who co-designed the "Spruce Goose" was my grandfather's cousin. He was allegedly on board with Howard Hughes for the plane's only flight, and was Howard Hughes' right hand man for many years. He also co-designed the H-1 Racer.
ETA: Here is the view from Maryhill. They also host concerts there, so you might want to check the schedule. Watching the sun set in the valley while enjoying a concert would not suck.

Not sure how many days you have there, but have been several times and the better vineyard stops are below.
Soter/Mineral Springs Ranch- beautiful vineyard that grows more than grapes. Bring some extra cash to buy fresh produce.
Ayoub- only hosts small groups. Need appointment. You literally taste in his living room
Alexana- wine is amazing. All wines are getting high scores from all magazines.
Beaux Freres- awesome visit. Excellent wine but they know it. Expect to pay $ here.
Patricia Green- next door to Beaux Freres. Great wine.
Eminent Domaine- beautiful picturesque views. Only way to get here is up a windy road. Don’t go if you get car sick. Wine is excellent.
Domaine Serene- they call it a country club and it is. Very proud of their wines and charge for it. Wine is great. Worth the $. However can find other wineries with excellent wine for less.
These are not bad if you have time
