There are few better ways to celebrate Father’s Day than spending a day on the water with great company, incredible scenery, and a cold craft beer in hand. This June, Snake River Adventures is once again partnering with River Ranch Brewing Company by Rivaura Estate Vineyard & Winery for the Father’s Day Brews Cruise — a one-of-a-kind experience through the breathtaking beauty of Hells Canyon.
Launching from Hells Gate State Park in Lewiston, this special jet boat adventure takes guests deep into the Snake River canyon, where rugged cliffs, rolling hillsides, and winding river views create one of the Pacific Northwest’s most unforgettable landscapes. Along the way, guests will enjoy handcrafted beers from River Ranch Brewing Company, brewed by Rivaura winemaker Vince Hewett, while taking in the sights and sounds of North America’s deepest river gorge.
The cruise travels to Garden Creek, a peaceful riverside location surrounded by orchards and history, creating the perfect setting for an afternoon built around relaxation, great drinks, and good food. The experience includes a scenic jet boat ride, beer tastings, hefty appetizers, and the opportunity to purchase additional beverages during the outing.
River Ranch Brewing Company has become a growing extension of the Rivaura experience, blending the same agricultural roots and handcrafted approach that define the winery into a lineup of approachable, flavorful craft beers. For this event, those beers become part of the adventure itself — enjoyed outdoors, surrounded by canyon walls, river breeze, and the kind of scenery that makes the Lewis-Clark Valley so special.
More than just a tasting event, the Father’s Day Brews Cruise is about slowing down and enjoying the experience. It’s an opportunity to celebrate fathers, friends, and family while exploring one of Idaho’s most iconic landscapes from the water. Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast, an outdoor adventurer, or simply looking for a memorable way to spend Father’s Day weekend, this cruise brings together the best of the region in a uniquely Northwest setting.
The Father’s Day Brews Cruise takes place on Saturday, June 20th 2026 and runs from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Space is limited and reservations are filling up fast.
