Our journey through Washington wine country brought us to Callan Cellars’ Chelan location — and what a perfect introduction to the region it was. Perched above the lake with sweeping views and a welcoming atmosphere, this destination sets the tone for a truly elevated Chelan wine experience.
The venue is more than just a tasting room — it's an immersive escape. Set on a beautifully landscaped property with terraced outdoor seating, a cascading waterfall, and blooming gardens, it invites you to slow down and savor every sip. The cozy on-site Airbnb cabin, crafted with stones pulled from the historic tunnel excavation, adds a rustic charm and gives visitors the chance to turn a tasting into a full weekend retreat.
Whether you’re relaxing at one of the hillside seating nooks with a glass of Grenache in hand or exploring the grounds lined with flowers and local art, Callan Cellars Chelan strikes that rare balance of elegance and laid-back comfort.
The wine? Outstanding. Lisa Callan’s signature small-lot style shines here — expressive, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in Washington’s potential. Pair it with a curated menu of small bites, and you’ve got a sensory experience worth sharing.
Bonus: The venue doubles as an event space — ideal for intimate celebrations framed by lake views and vineyard air.
Verdict: Start your Chelan wine adventure here. Callan Cellars offers not just great wine, but a setting that feels like a personal invitation into the heart of Washington’s wine culture.

The tasting fee is $20 for 4 pours, waived with purchase of 2 bottles, which were all reasonably priced. There is a darling market next door which is also worth a visit, so this is a fun stop with several...
