Washington Wine at its Best
Leavenworth sits at the edge of Washington's wine country — the Wenatchee Valley and nearby Columbia Valley produce some of the state's finest Rieslings, Gewürztraminers, and reds. A perfect pairing for the Bavarian setting.
Several tasting rooms are right on Front Street, with day trips available to nearby wineries through the Cascade foothills.
