We were looking for a dog friendly winery near Chelan after one of our favorite wineries decided to no longer allow dogs. We also wanted something to eat. Chelan ridge Winery checked all those, so off we went. When we got there we got a slight disappointment in that the pizza oven was not in operation on a Wednesday. However, our server suggested that we try the charcuterie board or the salad. We tried both, and they were both delicious. What really impressed us was the wines, and the details that were added to it. We learned a lot about the winery and the wines all while enjoying sweeping views of Lake Chelan. When the resident dogs arrived our dogs found new best friends. I think that really was the icing on the cake. So much so that we returned the next day to try the pizzas. The wood fired pizzas were great. They are not the cheapest, but all the ingredients were top notch. We were with a group of people, and nobody expressed any complaints. read more

4 adults at 5.30 on a Sunday. We walked into a lone saxophone player creating a nice but loud setting. We were seated then advised 1) they would be closing early 2) the kitchen wants to close, so if we want food order now (we declined) We ordered 2 coors lights, a corona with lime and a glass of riesling. We got a glass of beer she claimed was the corona, 1 coors light and the wine. We were told it was the last Corona. Then once reminded, we got the other coors, and were told it was the last one as well. Beers were almost flat, the lime for the corona was brought with a bare hand, and the bugs were landing in the wine. This was NOT the wineries best day. $45 before gratuity and were were out. Probably won't return. read more

We visited the Chelan area while we were camping through the area. They area apart of Harvest Hosts which allows campers to pick a spot among the vineyards to camp for the evening. A great idea! We loved walking around the vineyards, trying the wines, and enjoying the fantastic view of the lake. Highly recommend! The only reason for the 4 stars? Wines are a bit pricier than surrounding places. Some local wineries offer a free tasting if you purchase a bottle of wine. That helps when you are a first time visiter. Overall- friendly and knowledgable staff, good wine, food, and views! read more

My family and I happened upon this winery and ended up coming back a second night for bingo. The game started quite a bit later than advertised, but we were seated right away and service was very quick and friendly. While calling out the bingo letters, the owner remarked, "G and B - you know, as in Girl and Boy. The only two sexes!" This comment was completely out of the blue and uncalled for. The wine and ambiance are great, but we will not be back. For a business that prides themselves on being welcome to everyone, we would not have expected someone's outdated and inaccurate beliefs to be preached to us during our stay. Please Note: This review is in response to the owner and his demeanor. The rest of the staff was friendly and very kind. read more

Four couples enjoying a hot, August summer afternoon in Chelan before going out on the lake to cool off. Bill (the owner) was delightful. He sat with our group of guys and chatted for 20 minutes while we waited for the wives. The wines were all very good and you immediately surmise that Bill is passionate about his wine. He's a pleasant guy to chat with. I enjoyed the 2014 Rogue Clair (Pinot) and the 2021 Bianco Perla Sauvignon was a hit with our group - perfect for a hot day. Service was ok. The guy who was our server was very slow and we had to keep asking the other gals working to get us our next pour (we all did the tasting). It was not busy at all. Other than that, it was very pleasant. We'll be back! read more

Tasty wine served in an inviting atmosphere located in the beautiful Lake Chelan area.

We ended up joining this winery due to the great service great wine and yummy pizza oven results. Have since visited the Woodinville location and they are most friendly as well. Great winery! read more

We were greeted with open arms upon arrival (literally, the owner gave the birthday girl a hug!). We didn't have a reservation for the wine tasting but the owner and staff jumped right in and got our group of 7 setup with a table outside overlooking the beautiful winery and lake. It was a little chilly that day so bill set up outdoor heaters on both sides of our table, and gave us blankets to stay warm. Our waitress was fantastic, attentive, and learned each of our names and called us each by name as she poured our tastings. We ordered salads and their wood fire pizza for lunch, and boy were we impressed ! Bonus.. we got to keep our wine glasses with our tastings .. they have a Helicopter pad for anyone flying in read more

We had a sampling of several wines and selected the 2020 Syrah. It was bold and tasty and went well with our fire roasted pizza. The view from the balcony overlooks the town and the lake along with their vineyard. What a great place to spend the evening. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the service was great! read more

Amazing Hosts, Amazing View, Amazing wine. Thank you so much Bob for always making us feel like family when we come to drink wine with you. We recommend! read more

I have waited a few days and visited other wineries before posting this review. Besides the great wine what made this evening so special was the food, the phenomenal views and the service. We loved the pizza and visiting with the owner Bill and the great wine. I would rate this evening as one of my favorites. You must come experience the wine , the food and the great owner. A 10 out of 10 read more

The mushroom pizza was a 10/10 and the view can't be beat. Oh and the wine was excellent. So glad they were open later than other places on a Monday night. Thank you! read more

Best views! Friendly owners! Yummy wine & apps! After 2 afternoons of wine tasting all over Chelan, Chelan Ridge won our hearts! So did their cute on-site puppies! The new owners just reopened at beginning of September 2022 & just go above & beyond to make u feel welcome. The wines were some of the best we tried, and the $19 tasting even included complimentary wine glasses! The charcuterie was delish, and they also offer wood fire pizza & salads. Live music also included. Prices are very reasonable, kids welcome, & u cannot beat that view! Will def be returning! read more

This winery is truly a hidden gem. Family and dog friendly with endless views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The food is fresh and sooo yummy! The staff is fun welcoming and always super caring. I highly recommend this winery. read more

With over 30 wineries to choose from in Chelan AVA, I see no reason to return to Chelan Ridge Winery. Way over priced (see menu). $20 for unremarkable Margarita pizza that serves 1. They are proud of their expansion plans. $18 for glass of red and $13 for a white wine. The owner, Bill, made the rounds to tables. Has a good view- but most wineries in Chelan do. read more

Our new favorite winery when visiting Chelan. We've gone to a lot and this is probably the most family and pet friendly one. They have several good quality lawn games and even a dedicated section for kids w good condition games and coloring books. They even offered free juice to our kids.We were pleasantly surprised! Definitely a raised the bar for wineries. The owners and servers were one of the friendliest and warmest people we've met. The view was amazing and there was great music for a Saturday night. We went here since they closed late but will definitely revisit next time. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great place to hangout and drink some delicious wine! Pizza was also very delicious. We were greeted by two cute dogs and the owner was very friendly! read more

Terrible service. Sat there for an hour and never got my tasting, had to go in TWICE to ask and felt basically invisible. The girls working could care less, I said forget it we will pay for what we did get and go. No apology or even acknowledgement. Was super disappointed since it was expected to be great. Just leaving the property 7:45pm on Thursday August 10th. read more

Went to this winery when we were in Chelan. . Owners were so personable and welcoming. We ordered two tastings and a margaritaville and Umami Bomb pizza. Both were amazing. Especially the Umami . Also the harvest salad with Sauvignon blanc dressing. With appts and pears. Omg. Delicious. We would definitely come back for lunch and or dinner Beautiful view from the deck of the lake. . read more

Absolutely amazing experience. This is a must stop place in Chelan. We loved everything about this place! Bill is amazing and so welcoming. The energy made our experience spectacular. The pizza is scrumptious and complimented the pizza perfectly! Can't wait to come back after their expansion! read more

AMAZING WINERY with stunning views. Great place to spend the night as this winery is a Harvest Host. The wine selection was very tasty and the pizza was delicious. The staff was very friendly and "Bill" the winery owner spent time talking to us. I can't imagine giving this place less than 5 stars! What a wonderful jewel overlooking Lake Chelan! read more

Have been here a couple of times and always super impressed. These folks have FAR AND AWAY the best wines I've ever had. Could not for the life of me find one I didn't like. From the white Merlot, (beautifully balanced) to a never ending litany of reds, one amazing red after another. Was my second time here, swore I wouldn't join another wine club, couldn't help myself, had to. May lead to a divorce but red wine vs. red head, tough call but gotta do what ya gotta do. Puppy friendly, my Morkie had a ball playing with the resident pups, had to literally catch her by the tail to leave. Looking forward to returning when the weather is nicer and the pizza oven is fired up. Beautiful view, great peeps. Miss this and you wasted your trip to Chelan/Manson. read more

Beautiful and breathtaking views! Wonderful wine! Well educated and nice staff! Stopped by for a quick "flight" while visiting Chelan with some friends. This was the last winery on our wine tour, and our first time here. We all really liked Chelan Ridge Winery! I was quite schnokkered by the time we got to CRW; as it was our 5th stop. So I don't remember how the wine tasted, but the views, atmosphere and people were all fabulous!! We took beautiful pictures out on the deck, and had a wonderful time! We will definitely be back in the summertime with our family! read more

We were so disappointed. We reserved outdoor seating and arrived to be seated on lawn chairs. No table seating available even with reservations. Table seating outside is very limited. There was no sense of organization in being seated, order taken, etc. Food was ok at best. Honestly had better wood fired pizza at MOD. The only saving grace for this place is the view and the owner. He was very welcoming and genuinely wanted us to have a good time. Unfortunately, we can't recommend this place due to the disorganization and over priced food and wine. read more

We are in the area looking for wines from the Lake Chelan AVA. Looking at the website, this looked like a good spot. We did make a purchase and the wines were interesting. We did have a couple of issues. First, our server was new to the place and not knowledgeable about the wines. It feels like she was not trained. She was pleasant and apologized for being unable to answer our questions. Second, the wines we tasted were not made by the current owner or wine maker. I expect the new owner will have a different style. Clearly he is intent in making this place into a destination with much greater volume. Nothing wrong with that as long as the wines are good. What was once is no longer. Time will tell if it is an improvement. read more

Wine is amazing and wood fired pizza is incredible! Try the umami bomb. Just a wonderful experience overall. Staff are also incredibly friendly. read more

Stopped in here for an early dinner/tasting, and was very pleased with the food (margaritaville wood-fired pizza, and one of the best salads ever), the wine (bought three bottles), the service, and above all, the ambience. Live music on a Thursday night on the patio, beautiful weather and a gorgeous view. read more

Really great wine and a super consciousness owner and server. The wines on the tasting were all delicious and the interaction superb. We could have stayed and chatted all day! Very engaging and pleasant experience. No doubt the best winery we visited this trip (and we were at many!) read more

The "wine specialist" was super rude to my mom. Wouldn't spend $20 on a glass of wine to then be treated poorly. There are so many other great wineries in the area, choose any of the other ones!! Also the bingo lady is extremely annoying (sorry bingo lady it's not your fault) read more

A little difficult to get service. Busy helping people they know. Tasting was not too expensive ($5) I wouldn't go back because I'm big on good customer service read more

I'm almost afraid to write a review because it was so nice to come to this winery and not have to swim through a swarm of people to get a tasting. I only tried a few wines as our primary interest at this point in our day was the relax and drink a full bottle, so I just picked the Syrah Rose based on the tasting notes and was shocked that it was so delicious! Everyone in our group loved it and the White Merlot, and my friend who tried the reds and is typically picky on reds liked each one of them. I can understand why people would be frustrated that some pours were delayed in their tasting. That being said, if you're going wine tasting with the goal of fitting in 8 wineries in one afternoon I think you're doing it wrong. My friend was happy sipping slowly and chatting with the owners when they came by. I didn't see them neglect any people, even those who were doing their tasting outside. Seating is a bit limited but the view is stellar so if you come and it's crowded, maybe try back alter if you'd prefer to sit leisurely with a large-ish group outside. We happened to get there at about 4:45 on a Saturday and were able to secure a great table. We visited 5 wineries that day and this was definitely the crowd favorite for wine and setting. read more

Other reviewers said it very well. Wonderful owners and good overall wines that we enjoyed. We stopped in a little after five just this afternoon and the owner was very welcoming even though they closed at 5:30. We enjoy the Syrah and Cab Franc very much purchased a few bottles and will plan to come back as soon as were in the area. read more

Absolutely love this winery! The owners are spectacular. Wines are outstanding and the view is superb. The White Merlot is my favorite and perfect for summer. My favorite Chelan Winery read more

Good wines across the board. Great location with nice view. Friendly owners.

Beautiful estate! Sitting high in the hills of Manson, overlooking Lake Chelan to the south; amazing for evening tasting and summer sipping. The owner poured our tasting with great enthusiasm and love for his interaction with people. The wines themselves were not particularly memorable for me, but the hospitality of the owners and the view of the lake make this winery easy to recommend. read more

Nice views and nice couple own the vinery. Seating is limited, some outside on the deck and some indoors. There was a large group outdoors so unfortunately we had to be indoors on a beautiful day. Tasting is $8. And we bought a bottle of the white merlot, though others were good as well. read more

We weren't even in the door before woman behind the counter told us we were not welcome because she thought we has too many people in our party. There we're eight of us but three didn't even want to taste. Just along for the experience. Too snooty for me. Four of us left. Will never be back read more

Great view, from the deck. Great place to buy a glass of their sryah rose and look at the lake.
