There are a million reasons to spend your free time at Lake Chelan. From fishing and hiking to shopping and biking, zip-lining, site-seeing, shore-snoring, and more. Of course, one of the more popular reasons people come here is for all the wonderful Chelan wineries!
Chelan is located in the the heart of Washington’s wine country. The region’s volcanic soil, combined with the lake’s moderating effect on temperature, creates ideal conditions for growing high-quality wine grapes. The result is over 30 wineries producing a diverse selection of wines rivaling those of more established wine regions. Add in stunning lake views, rolling vineyards, and award-winning wineries, and it’s no wonder that Chelan is a premier destination for wine lovers!
Better yet, Kelly’s Resort is within reasonable distance of all of Chelan’s wineries. In fact, our southern shore location puts many of the area’s best within very easy distance, indeed.
