Chelan Ridge Winery - Manson

“I had recently visited the winery with my 6 bridesmaids. We had visited 3 wineries that day and Chelan Ridge Winery was the crowd favorite. We had tried 15 wines that day and my favorite was Chelan Ridge's white merlot. We enjoyed their mixed wine tasting, tater tots, pizzas and wings. The food was delicious and the views were stunning! the winery had such a cozy vibe, it felt like a spot you'd want to go regularly to. They also had some adorable sweet pups. Can't wait to come back!”

“This place is incredible. 😍 Yesterday I spent most of the afternoon at the winery, enjoying a red wine flight and a Maragaritaville pizza, and I enjoyed it so much that I had to come here and thank them for making me feel so welcomed and comfortable there. I’ve been to many wineries in my day (guess I’m a lush? 🤣), but I’ve never been to one that treated me like family and felt like home. As you can tell from the photos, the facilities are breathtaking, but pictures can’t really convey the feeling of a place, and in that regard, even the pictures can’t do Chelan Ridge justice. Even on a blustery day, the patio was cozy- they provide baskets of blankets for their guests, so my friend and I bundled up and had the patio to ourselves for as long as my weak Californian friend’s fingers could stand the fresh air. They took such good care of us, coming by to clean pollen off a side table even though it wasn’t bothering us, and the lovely woman who was running the tasting room (I’m so mad I didn’t ask her for her name!) made my friend’s salad herself. It was made with such care, sprinkled with edible flowers, and my friend who normally eats like a bird devoured the entire thing. My friend ducked out for a while to get an impromptu tattoo, and I stayed and worked on a fairy house miniature kit. Even though the kid who normally runs the pizza oven called off, the winemaker, Jeff, made my pizza for me while I got to hang out with the winery mascots, Leo and Willie. I didn’t even have to ask them if they’d make that accommodation for me… they just offered, and the winemaker hand-delivered it to me. While I quietly crafted, I observed the staff at work… how they made a point to welcome the other guests, sit down with them, and really get to know them. Whether they were old friends and locals or new friends, I don’t know. But the vibe was amazing. Maybe it’s because I’m from Detroit or live in Seattle now among the Seattle Freeze, but the warmth and easygoing nature of the place really struck me. The food… as I mentioned, delicious. I inhaled my pizza and have no regrets. 💁🏻‍♀️Their wine speaks for itself… but I will say that their High Hawk Cabernet Sauvignon was my favorite (I prefer full-bodied red wines). Having said that, the Leo and Willie’s Red Blend was a refreshing delight. I hope to return to Chelan sometime to visit again, but if not I’ll certainly visit their tasting room in Woodinville. Thank you again for a great afternoon! I will remember it for a long time. 🥰”

“Just came from Chelan Ridge. What a great venue. The Malbec and Syrah stood out as being excellent the two servers Aldan and Andrew made my tasting more than enjoyable. Employees like these two are hard to find. I hope management recognizes their contributions”

“Wow. There is not a better view in the entire valley. The wine is amazing and the wood fired pizzas are superb. Friday and Saturday’s they have great tacos! Large groups always welcome here. Saturdays and Sundays they have football and basketball showing on the big screen. Nachos served on Sundays with the Seahawks games!! In the summer they have live music outside on the huge patio every Saturday and Sunday!”

“They offer stunning views of the lake blanketed with hills of vines. They have a good selection of both red and white wines along with seltzer, cider, beer, and non alcoholic beverages. I recommend a wood fired pizza to go along with your tasting or a charcuterie. This a great place for casual dining, a tasting flight, or just enjoying the view.”
