Leavenworth, Washington...

Since
when are wine and Leavenworth, Washington mentioned in the same
sentence? Since the number of wine-related Leavenworth businesses
grew to include tasting rooms for
wineries
(representing several different Washington State appellations) and three
retail
wine shops (with tasting rooms); and the number of
nearby operating wineries
within an hour's drive continues to rise.
If you know, or have heard of, Leavenworth, you
probably associate this small village with all-things-German, with
winter recreation, summer theater and music, and most of all, with the
strong Bavarian theme that influences its appearance, its atmosphere,
its dining opportunities, and its festivals.
The Leavenworth Valley is tucked deep into the
Cascade Mountains, setting the perfect alpine atmosphere for the town's
theme. Well-known for its year-round attraction of tourists,
Leavenworth insures local businesses plenty of retail traffic during any
season.
This little Bavarian village no longer appeals
only to travelers looking to attend one of its many festivals throughout
the year; many other activities serve as magnets year round for those
seeking:
performing arts,
winter sports,
birding opportunities,
fishing and hunting, out of the way
golf courses,
mountain bike trails, or health spas.
Certainly, the German and Bavarian
dining and
shopping opportunities
appeal to many
travelers, but the popular Leavenworth community has reached a critical
mass of wineries and tasting rooms that is propelling Leavenworth to the
status of a Washington State wine-country destination.
You won't need your car to sample and purchase
wine from more than 20 Washington wineries with
tasting rooms on or near Leavenworth's Front Street; they are
located in the heart of "The Village." A stroll along a charming
walkway, adjacent to Bavarian-styled storefronts, offers access to shops
with tasting bars for Silver Lake Winery (Woodinville & Yakima Valley), Willow Crest (Yakima Valley), Pasek Cellars (Puget
Sound), Icicle Ridge (near Leavenworth), Maison de Padgett Winery
(Yakima Valley), and Okanogan Estate & Vineyards (Oroville in near
Washington's border with Canada) inside the Gold Digger Cellars tasting
room.. Three additional wine shops offer tastings and sales of an
even wider selection of wines.
Note: Wineries & Tasting Rooms in Leavenworth
are often open for extended hours during holiday events.

Leavenworth-area Wineries
Within a 15-minute drive, you will
find 15 operating wineries and a
regional tasting room and wine shop.
If you decide to
venture out of Leavenworth in a car to visit some of these wineries, be
sure to take a
camera. Each route on this Leavenworth wine trail is one to
remember... each replete with "Kodak moments." Consider the
drive to Icicle Ridge Winery near Peshastin; the short distance between
Leavenworth and North Road, heading toward Peshastin, includes
spectacular glimpses of alpine mountain peaks, the river, orchards and
vineyards, and leads to the magnificent log home that is the winery's
tasting room.
Follow Chumstick Creek Road in a northeasterly direction and enjoy the
roadside creek of the same name, until you reach Eagle Creek Road, a
short distance from downtown Leavenworth. Eagle Creek branches off
of Chumstick Creek and soon leads you to the bucolic setting of the tiny
Eagle Creek Winery and Cottage, adjacent to the winery's estate
vineyards. More Kodak moments!
Still another spectacularly beautiful drive up Icicle Canyon to
Boudreaux Cellars at Eightmile Creek takes you to heart of the Canyon
deep in the Cascades where, in keeping with the agrarian traditions of
the Taliaferro and Newsom families of Louisiana,
wines are produced in small lots of hand-crafted,
ultra-premium wines. Wines are made in honor and celebration of
Boudreaux, that infamous Cajun-folklore character known for his
brilliant sense of humor and his pursuit of high adventure. Be
sure to call or email ahead for a tasting appointment.
There are some wonderful
festivals and special events in the Leavenworth area, so if
you plan to visit, be sure to check the town's Calendar of
Events, and if your visit coincides with an event,
make
your lodging reservations well ahead.
