Nestled in a cozy narrow valley at elevation of 1100 feet
with surrounding wilderness of rugged, majestic mountain ranges
reaching 5,000-8,000 feet, lies a quaint Bavarian Village.
Snake-twisting rivers, deep azure lakes, crystal-clear crashing
waterfalls, lush green rolling hills dotted with flourishing
orchards alive with buzzing bees seeking sweet nectar provide
the magnificent backdrop for this active community.
Houses here display pointed peaks with large wooden over-hanging
rooflines on stucco/ timber combination structures. Main street
finds hugging gingerbread-style buildings on one side and
beautiful park abundant with variety of trees on the other. One
finds scalloped trim on the rooflines, intricate folk art
cutouts on balconies, exterior wall murals, window boxes and
barrels with profusion of flowers everywhere!
It is this setting that you will find something new happening.
Vineyards and wineries are growing in the region and
Leavenworth is right in the heart of this new surge in the
Washington wine industry. It should be noted that this
area is the fastest growing wine region in Washington.
