If you’re planning to go on a winetasting tour in Lake Chelan, here are some excellent wineries for you to visit.
Tunnel Hill Winery
37 US-97 ALT, Chelan, WA 98816
One of Tunnel Hill Winery’s most interesting features is their tasting room, which is nestled within the rocks of Knapp’s Hill Tunnel right up the hill and built using the same rubble blasted during construction of the tunnel (hence its name).
The winery offers a diverse variety of wines, from traditional varietals to bolder, more daring ones, all masterfully crafted. Be sure to order a glass of their excellent Pinot Noir, which was the first varietal planted by their winemakers more than 15 years ago.
Siren Song Vineyard Estate and Winery
635 S Lakeshore Rd, Chelan, WA 98816
Owned by winemakers and foodies Holly and Kevin Brown, Siren Song Vineyard Estate and Winery treats guests to a selection of carefully crafted wines and delicious artisanal European-style cuisine.
This is the perfect place to go if you’re looking forward to incredible wine pairings, as their menu is simply phenomenal. Some of their bestsellers include their signature artisan wood-fired pizzas, baked brie coated in fruit and fig compote, and cheesy cauliflower and fennel dip.
If you want to enjoy the full vineyard experience, you can stay at Siren Song’s 850 sq. ft. two-bedroom villa which is located just steps away from their tasting room, restaurant, and outdoor veranda.
Fielding Hills Winery
565 S Lakeshore Rd, Chelan, WA 98816
