Tucked into a quaint hillside, with panoramic views of Lake Chelan, you’ll find Vin du Lac Winery’s charming estate. Here, guests are invited to enjoy locally-sourced wines and farm-fresh dining, all while soaking in the breathtaking views and relaxed ambiance.
Set against the backdrop of a pristine 55-mile lake, Vin du Lac provides tastings throughout the year, showcasing elegant wines sourced from the Lake Chelan AVA (American Viticultural Area) and nearby vineyards on the Columbia River. Since its initiation in 2002 by Larry Lehmbecker, Vin du Lac Winery has been an integral part of the Lake Chelan wine industry, committed to establishing Chelan as a high-end wine destination. Whether your preference is a dry, crisp white wine or a fuller-bodied and complex red, you’ll find a wine to delight your palate at one of Chelan’s original wineries.
Only a short distance from several trailheads, including Echo Ridge and the Chelan Butte Trail, Vin du Lac is the perfect spot to unwind with a deserved glass of wine after a hike or winter snowshoeing through the rolling hills of the Chelan Valley. Visit in October, and you may even run into the winemaker pulling a tasting from the barrel! And no summer visit would be complete without a swim in the iconic glacier-fed lake. Just a stone’s throw from Vin du Lac, you’ll find Don Morse Park, the perfect spot for a refreshing dip. After getting your toes wet, there’s always a chilled rosé or white wine waiting to cool you down on the patio!
Vin du Lac Winery, at 105 Highway 150 in Chelan, is open throughout the year for tastings. Visit www.vindulac.com to learn more.
