For many years, the month of February has been celebrated at the 30+ Wineries in the Lake Chelan Valley with two weekends of decadence centered around Red Wine & Chocolate. This year, the Lake Chelan Wine Valley has dubbed the entire month of February the “Month of Love” and is extending the Red Wine & Chocolate festival to the entire month. Couples from around the pacific northwest fill up tasting rooms all around the lake to experience intimate Artisan Red Wine and Chocolate pairings that are sure to keep the love flowing all year long… or provide a really fun experience for you and your friends!

Each winery has a unique atmosphere, experience and aesthetic character ensuring that travelers from near and far make memories that they can take with them into the future. Here are just a few examples of the magic happening at some of the wineries in Manson.
