Icicle Ridge Winery is owned and
operated by Lou and Judy Wagoner and their family. They welcome you to
Their orchard and vineyard. Join them for year round events in a
spectacular log home set among historical orchards in view of Icicle
Ridge.
Eagle Creek is a small Boutique Winery.
They take pride in making only a few thousand bottles annually. Paying
the maximum attention to each and every one of our wines, which
ultimately produces only the very best premium finished wines.
At Wedge Mountain Winery Charlie, the
winemaker, is dedicated to the development of small quantities of
premium wines. Hand-crafted in the truest sense of the word, the wines
are a "labor of love" from the growing of the grape to the bottling of
the wine. For those wines which must be made from "other-than-estate
grown" vines, Charlie purchases only the best grapes from select
vineyards in the Columbia River valley, and, more recently, in the
Columbia Cascade region.
La Toscana Winery specializes in
Italian-style wines such as blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet
Franc, Merlot and a Country Blend (vino da tavola) which includes
additions of Pinot Noir, and Lemberger. White wines include White
Riesling, Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay. La Toscana produces between 2000
and 3000 bottles a year. The property allows for wine-tastings in a
beautiful outdoor setting beneath grape arbors with the owners, Warren
(vintner) and Julie Moyles.

Region Information |
|
Columbia Cascade Winery Association
tm
 A new wine region has appeared
amongst the rivers, lakes, and mountains of North Central
Washington. Bordered by the towering Cascade Mountains on the west
and sagebrush covered hills on the east, vineyards and their
attendant wineries are rapidly appearing throughout the area. The
winemakers of this area have banded together in the belief that
the influence of the Cascade Mountains and the broad rivers and
lakes makes the region unique amongst Washington State’s
winegrowing areas. In recognition of this they are calling the
area the Columbia Cascade region.
There are many wineries producing top quality wine in the Columbia
Cascade valleys. Several more are slated to open in the near
future and many others are in the development stage. The
varieties being grown and bottled include familiar varieties
such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, as well as less
well-known varieties such as Roussanne. The wines range from the
driest of the dry to sweet complex late harvest and ice wines.
The Columbia Cascade area includes Grant County north of
Interstate 90, Douglas, Chelan, and Okanogan Counties. There is a
wide range of climates and soils throughout the area. The common
influence throughout the region is the Cascade Mountains. The
mountains maintain dormancy during the winter thanks to cold air
descending from high altitudes. At the same time many sites are
frost free from April 1 through October 31, ample time to ripen
even the most demanding grape varieties.
Touring the beautiful valleys of the Columbia Cascade area
provides constant variation in scenery. Water is constant
throughout, with rivers and lakes everywhere. From lush forests in
the west to sagebrush in the south to mixed sagebrush and pine in
the north, the eye is always rewarded with beauty. Recreational
opportunities abound; water skiing, snow skiing, snowmobile
riding, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, nationally recognized
golf courses, or just plain relaxing. Lodging in Chelan,
Leavenworth, Soap Lake, Wenatchee, and Winthrop can range from
budget to luxury, from quaint to stunning views of great beauty.
More information can be obtained through any of the wineries
listed, www.columbiacascadewines.com.
