Lake Chelan: Naturally Intoxicating
Encompassing the Lake Chelan AVA, established in 2009; our wines are an excellent reflection of the rich, complex textures, minerals, and elegant depth our grapes draw from this unique region. Lake Chelan’s favorable mild temperatures and “Lake effect” result in a longer growing season, allowing the grapes to extract a distinguished character enhanced by glacially carved soils with distinctive properties like coarse sandy sediment, and notable amounts of quartz and mica. This alluring region provides over 30 destination wineries with incredible growing conditions, world-class winemakers, stunning mountain vistas, and the un-paralled beauty of the clear blue waters of Lake Chelan.
Wenatchee: What will you pick today? Always Fresh, Always Growing
Wenatchee’s lush fertile valley is bordered by ice age volcanic basalt cliffs and the towering granite peaks of the Cascades that have been long known for providing ideal growing conditions for apples and other tree fruits world-wide. Located in the Columbia Valley AVA and stretching south towards the Wahluke slope, the valley’s combination of warm sunny days, cool nights, rich volcanic soils and abundance of pure mountain water have proven to give our grapes the same optimal conditions, expressing a delightful character resulting in outstanding wines! Emerging as a favorite destination for outdoor and wine enthusiasts alike, the largest city in the region with a small town feel is rich with entertainment, art galleries, boutique shopping, and outdoor recreation. Providing visitors with all the comforts of home, and exciting adventures ready to be discovered just outside the door!
