The Chelan Valley was one of the first to be planted with vineyards in the state of Washington. Grape plantings can be traced as far back to 1891 due to the highly favorable conditions of the soil and the culture of the grape. Since then many winemakers have staked a claim in the area or relocated here from other areas of the country and world to enjoy all the Chelan Valley has to offer.
The road to Chelan Valley wineries is typically not paved and all require a little finesse to find.
