Plan a day or a weekend.
Or even a week... there's plenty to see and do here. After all, our region was a Northwest holiday destination for recreation, shopping, antiquing and more-long before the growing of grapes and wine producing came into being.
Cascade Valley Wine Country begins in the north at Lake Chelan, the longest lake in Washington and the third deepest in the country. It travels through the Wenatchee Valley, "Apple Capital of the World" and home to Mission Ridge ski resort. And winds up in the west at the charming Bavarian village of Leavenworth, where the "Willkommen!" sign is always up and over 100 shops and restaurants are at your service.
