Weekend!
Latifa S.

Wine wine wine! Wine tasting in October x chelan views? Sign me up. Pretty cool people too. Amazing views from outside. I came to Chelan on a weekend trip / first girls trip of 2020 this week and this was one of our stops. We had a party of 10 and they gave us a beautiful spot outside. Can't do this in Seattle! My first big group outting of 2020. So glad they can accommodate us all. Views are amazing. Wine is even better! We did the tasting. I love the consequence! And their Syrah, Malbec and then some. All were great wine. Customer service was even better. And of course; being able to sit outside in October is a plus! Loved it!

Gorgeous wines and view! This has been a favorite of ours in Chelan for years. The vioginier and consequence are must tries. The view is beautiful. The tasting room is small but doable, and always seems to be buzzing. There is a small patio you can enjoy facing the lake, and there is even a playground for kids. Always enjoy our time here and go out of our way to stop!

Beautiful setting and the wines are spectacular. After making an appointment at another nearby winery for a tasting and getting horrible service we managed to get into here and they did not disappoint. The ladies wiring on an extremely busy Saturday gave excellent service and were very friendly and still took time to give great service. I only wish their wine club was not a wait list only.

5 stars for the excellent wines! My favorite winery because each wine i tried, 6, were beautiful and refined. The location has a lovely view. Sit outside with a glass and enjoy the view of the lake. The inside is nothing special though. I tried to join their wine club but there is a 2 and a half year wait!!!

This winery has a beautiful setting, but we were told on entering that there are no longer tastings per se. We were offered glasses of wine at $10 each, but I thought that it was bit on the high side in comparison to other nearby wineries so we decided to go elsewhere.

Patio view

Lovely spot overlooking their vineyard and Lake Chelan. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Wine selection was enjoyable - really enjoyed the Viognier which is crisp and dry and Spinner, a Bordeaux style red blend. We enjoyed the tasting so much we bought a few bottles that were not on the tasting menu to give them a try. Outdoor seating space is limited so be sure to make a reservation.

Nefarious Cellars is a relatively new winery on the scene in Lake Chelan however, they are by far the most exciting winery to appear in the AVA thus far. A good portion of their grapes are estate grown and are an excellent representation of Chelan's terroir. The Wine Gnome and I were lucky enough to catch Heather and Dean (the owners and winemakers) on the day that I arrived. They and their staff were friendly and accommodating. They were tasting 3 wines: A red blend, a Malbec and their latest Riesling. All wines were approachable and delicious. I drove back and picked up their Malbec after visiting all of the wineries on the South Shore, which gives you an indication of the quality of their wines. I was especially wowed by the Riesling (and I'm not a sweet wine fan). It was bone-dry and had a juicy complexity that reminded me of Starburst candies that I enjoyed so much when I was a kid. No visit to Chelan would be complete without a visit to Nefarious Cellars. Do yourself a favor and order a glass of their Riesling, stay and enjoy the view of the lake.

Atop Wine: 4 Setting: 5 Extras: 4 Sitting atop the hill, this winery has an exceptional panoramic view of Lake Chelan! While the wines are okay, the view is worth the trip. Sit in the colorful chairs and have a glass; an excellent way to relax.

Lovely outdoor seating area to enjoy their diverse wine selection w stunning views of Lake Chelan.

See all

According to Yelp reviews and photos, I was SO excited about this place and coming here with my 3…read moregirlfriends for our weekend trip. They had literally nothing from the photos and even pics added from the business owner. I thought maybe the menu changed seasonally or something but the waitress we had didn't even recognize the stuff and said it was probably from one of their other restaurants... I wish this stuff was accurate because the menu we were presented with was a let down after seeing the amazing things online. I will say, however, that everything we got was good. The steak bites were yummy (that sauce!) and my friends that shared the fried chicken sandwich were pleased and that thing was massive. Our cesar salad was also enjoyable. I just wish we had a different experience about the menu and things we got excited about ahead of time. I haven't experienced a Yelp profile being soooo inaccurate before.

Lots of great wine and a lovely view of with some great views to pair- plus open late!…read more I went around 6pm and asked if they did tastings and the server had no idea. She must have been new, so I asked her if she could check and she seemed kind of taken aback. Turns out they do not, so I just got a glass. My friend and I came back the next day and sat at our table for 30 minutes before we had a waiter approach us. After that, we ordered salad and dessert. It all came within 20 minutes, which was decent for the food order but LONG to wait for wine. From the time our plates were clean and glasses empty to the time we got a check was over an hour. Absolutely ridiculous. We tried to just pay at the counter and the woman behind the counter said she was just pouring tastings but not taking payment (so they do have tastings!). Wasn't too crowded on either visit, so I'm guessing maybe they were training a whole batch of new summer staff or something when we went. I would potentially try them again another time of year. Don't go here if you have a tight reservation after.
