Come visit Washington's newest AVA, you'll see 260 acres of wine grapes flowing from valley slopes toward the scenic deep-water beauty of Lake Chelan. Warm days, cool nights are our trademark and they give us the ability to produce wine with incredible intensity, balance, fruit, and structure. Take tours of the vineyards, meet the winemakers. From an old-world retreat to an intimate cottage cradled by orchard, local wineries offer something for everyone. Area wineries feature weekly entertainment, including a summer concert series with world-class performers, dinner, and fun events for the entire family.

This young, vibrant Chelan Valley wine scene is attracting attention from winemakers, grape growers and wine enthusiasts throughout the Northwest. We invite you to enjoy the serenity and romance of wine tasting framed by the beauty of Lake Chelan and the North Cascade Mountains.

Fourteen wineries and many vineyards within the valley support the Lake Chelan Wine Growers Association. Click here to visit their site and learn more about events and activities happening throughout the valley.

Tsillan Cellars overlooks beautiful Lake Chelan on the south shore, just one mile from Chelan. Designed in the style of an Italian country retreat, this spacious winery (named after an old spelling of Chelan), offers a unique destination experience. Owner Dr. Robert Jankelson has worked for four years to recreate the romantic feel of old-world Tuscany at Tsillan Cellars. The winery's impressive tasting room and winemaking facilities reflect his commitment to detail and elegance. Building materials came from across the globe.

Outside, three waterfalls form an amphitheater backdrop for an island stage. Natural stone bridges, Tuscan columns, a 35-foot bell tower with a 650 lb cast bronze bell, landscaped rockeries and gardens overlook Lake Chelan and the Cascade Mountains. The 135-acre estate is the perfect setting for the winery's summer concert series featuring world-class performers. See the winery's website for a complete listing of concerts.

The Vin du Lac winery sits on a hilltop rising 200 feet above Lake Chelan, with superb views of the lake, Chelan Butte, and the town of Chelan. The grounds have been orchard land since the 1920's, and one half of the property remains working orchard. Seven acres of vineyard were planted in the spring of 2002.

The winery itself is housed in two old orchard sheds that were fully remodeled and updated to serve as modern winery production facilities. Remnants of the buildings' former character remain, including the hand-laid stone foundation of the barrel room, which bears the inscription "Sept. 1937".

The old orchard farmhouse, built in the twenties, has also been updated, and now serves as the winery tasting room. It has been styled after a French country bistro, and besides our broad selection of wines, inside you will find a unique selection of meats, cheeses, breads, olives, french baguettes, and other delicious items to enjoy with a glass of wine on the adjacent lake-view patio.

The setting of the winery, nestled amongst vineyard and orchard, is serene and romantic. The ambiance is both old world and country.
