Downtown Manson Wine Tasting Guide
The Lake Chelan Valley has become known for its impressive amount of wineries, sprawled throughout the hills of Chelan and Manson. But at Marina’s Edge, you don’t even have to get in your car to get to some of the best wine around. Downtown Manson is walking distance from your unit, and here’s what we recommend to get you started on your Manson wine tasting adventure. You may even end up with a bottle or two to enjoy back in your Honeycrisp unit while you take in the sunset over Lake Chelan!
MVP Vintners
2 minute walk
Start your tour off right with MVP Vintners. Their laid back vibe will surely kick your afternoon off on the right foot. The owners and staff are friendly and personable and you’ll feel right at home as you work your way through the delicious wine flight. Enjoy live music on their patio while sipping on an array of delicious reds and whites. If you’ve got anyone in your party who is less than enthusiastic about wine, they also carry a wide selection of beer, cider, and non-alcoholic beverages - everyone wins here!

Ancestry Cellars
4 minute walk
Although their wine is produced in Woodinville, you’ll find that Ancestry Cellars fits right in downtown. Their wines are deeply tied to the Morin family history. Enjoy tasting their wines while learning the story behind each one. It’s a cozy tasting room with a few seats inside and out, but it leaves you with the feeling that you just joined their family. Their Bordeaux style blends, “Le Frère” and “La Sœur” are must tries!

Radiance Winery Tasting Room
3 minute walk
Radiance’s winery is located a few miles east from the heart of Manson, but their downtown location is just as inviting. They offer a tasting of 5 wines and small bite options, because let’s be real - sometimes you need something to munch on during a day of wine tasting! Their downtown location has a cozy indoor space, as well as an all-seasons covered patio. We recommend the rosé. If you’re feeling adventurous, head out to their main location for an afternoon of shuffleboard and live music!

C.R. Sandidge Wines
5 minute walk
Tucked inside the unmistakable green building downtown is the CR Sandidge tasting room. Their award-winning wines will not disappoint you, and best of all, there’s something for everyone on the wine list. Whether you enjoy a sparkling rosé or a delicious, full-bodied port wine, they’re sure to have something to satisfy your palate, all while learning from the knowledgeable tasting room associates.

WineGirl Wines
7 minute walk
If you’re looking for a place with a lot of spunk and character, mosey down to Wine Girl Wines. Enjoy the fun staff and good wine while lounging outside on their lawn or let them give you the rundown of each taste at the counter. Their line of pin-up girl labels and the vibrant atmosphere are far from the snobbish environment that often comes to mind when you think of wine tasting. Order lunch from a local spot or pack a picnic to enjoy with your tasting and simply relax. You’re right downtown but you’ll feel like you’re in your own little oasis, even as you watch the cars pass by on the highway.

Rootwood Cider
4 minute walk
Perhaps you’re maxed out on wine tasting for the day or you just want a change of pace. Although not a winery, we wanted to add Rootwood Cider to the list. Their cider is crafted with such care and attention that tasting it feels very much like tasting wine. You’ll be surprised at the notable differences in flavor and refreshed by the light, bubbly pours.
