Lake Chelan Wine Alliance plans Fall Barrel Tasting event

CHELAN — The Lake Chelan Wine Alliance will host its annual Fall Barrel Tasting event for two consecutive weekends in November, featuring samples of unreleased wines directly from the barrel.

The event, scheduled for November 8-10 and November 15-17, gives visitors an opportunity to taste young wines and observe the winemaking process at participating wineries.

"Our Fall Barrel Tasting event is a unique way for visitors to experience the craftsmanship and passion that goes into each bottle of Lake Chelan wine," said Renea Roberts, Director of Community Engagement of the Lake Chelan Wine Alliance. "It's the perfect way to celebrate the harvest season and get a first taste of what's to come from our talented winemakers."

The event includes tastings of limited-edition wines from the 2024 harvest. Participating wineries will host vineyard tours, cellar visits, and live entertainment.

Regional chefs and food vendors will offer artisanal cheese selections and farm-to-table dishes during the event.

The Fall Barrel Tasting is part of the Lake Chelan Wine Harvest celebration. The Lake Chelan Wine Alliance, a nonprofit membership association, organizes the event to promote the valley's wine industry and support local wineries and vineyards.
