There's something about downtown Chelan that makes you feel at home. People wave to each other, storeowners greet you by name, and folks use any excuse to gather along the sidewalk just to catch up on community news.
Chelan is the only incorporated community in the Northern part of Chelan County and is located along the Southeast end of Lake Chelan. The city’s year round population runs around 3,700, but the area is popular with visitors and part time residents; these numbers swell during the summer months.
According to the Lake Chelan Wine Growers Association, Lake Chelan is the 11th AVA (American Viticultural Area) in Washington State. This designation is an appellation of origin granted by the Federal government (more specifically the TTB). An AVA is a area with unique climate, soil and physical features that distinguish it from surrounding areas. The idea is that what is produced within an AVA is specific to that place and would not be the same grown somewhere else.
