Wine tasting is one of the most popular things to do around Lake Chelan. During the busy spring and summer season, however, tasting rooms can also mean traffic, crowds, and packed schedules. This year, guests staying at Kelly’s Resort can enjoy a quieter alternative without leaving the property.
On May 29 , 3-5pm and June 20, 5-7pm, Kelly’s Resort will host intimate wine tasting experiences for registered guests featuring wines from Lagrioth Winery at Chelan Valley Farms.
Rather than planning an afternoon around multiple stops, guests can settle into the slower pace of the resort and enjoy local wines steps from their cabin or lakeside accommodations.
Wine Tasting in the Lake Chelan AVA
The Lake Chelan AVA has steadily grown into one of Washington’s most respected wine regions. Officially established in 2009, the AVA benefits from long summer days, volcanic soils, and the moderating effect of Lake Chelan itself, creating ideal growing conditions for a wide range of varietals.
Today, more than 30 wineries operate throughout the valley, attracting visitors looking for both scenic views and small-production wines. While many travelers spend their vacation moving between tasting rooms, Kelly’s Resort is offering guests a more relaxed way to experience Chelan wine culture.
These small tasting events allow guests to enjoy local wines in a quieter setting while still connecting with the region’s agricultural and winemaking traditions.
Featuring Wines from Chelan Valley Farms
The featured wines come from Lagrioth Winery at Chelan Valley Farms, a local operation known for its connection to the land and small-batch approach to winemaking. Guests will have the opportunity to sample regional wines while learning more about the flavors and growing conditions unique to the Chelan Valley.
Because the tastings are limited to resort guests, the atmosphere will remain casual and intimate rather than crowded or commercial. It’s an easy addition to a weekend getaway at the lake, whether you already follow Washington wines or simply want to try something new during your stay.
Stay at Kelly’s Resort During These Exclusive Tastings
One of the advantages of staying at Kelly’s Resort is the ability to slow down and enjoy the surroundings without constantly getting back in the car. After the tasting, guests can spend the evening along the waterfront, relax back at their cabin, or continue exploring everything the Chelan area has to offer.
If you’re planning a spring or early summer getaway, these exclusive tasting dates offer another reason to stay at Kelly’s Resort and experience a more laid-back side of Chelan wine country.
Space for the events is limited to registered resort guests staying on property during the tasting dates.
