First we eat, then we do everything else.
Wine country? We got your wine country ... and your fruit and cheese country, too.
California, schmalifornia. Lake Chelan’s verdant hills have produced fine wines for more than a century. You may not have known that because the Chelan Valley is more renowned for producing apples, pairs, peaches and cherries — perfect ones. Add a little Beecher’s handmade cheese, a rustic loaf of french, a warm summer breeze and, oh yeah … one of the world’s most beautiful lakes, and now you’re talking “Manson country.”
You don't need a silver spoon to eat good food.
Good food doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive, just tasty. And the last time we checked, driving a Bentley to the country club or having Wadsworth turn down your bed at night had nothing to do with delicious food. The kind you’ll find at Washington Market. Whether it’s a freshly chopped salad, our daily Boat Box, or a frothy, piping hot latte (which you can sip with your pinky out if you like) it’s going to be as scrumptious at Slidewaters as it is at Harmony Meadows.
Cheese is milk's leap toward immortality.
Poured over your cereal in the morning, milk’s purpose seems rather mundane. But when cheesemaking artisans, like those at Beecher’s, take fresh, pure milk from local farms and apply traditional methods used for thousands of years, the result is magical. Or perhaps lip-smacking. Either way, a single nibble guarantees a lifelong, irresistible epicurean craving. Flagship, Marco Polo, SheepSheep or Dutch Hollow Dulcet — they’re all authentic, handmade, and await your tastebuds at Washington Market.
Red meat isn't bad for you. Blue-green meat ... that's bad.
Various warnings from doctors notwithstanding, we humans have been devouring red meat for a long, long time. In fact scientists have identified 2.6 million year-old animal bone fossils with butchery marks. Somehow, in spite of our instinctual love of red meat, we managed to evolve anyway. That’s why, at Washington Market, our deli features delectable cuts from Mike’s Meats. Mouthwatering and aged … although not until it turns blue. Or green.
Open daily May-September
70 years ago, when Bill Sperry opened the doors of the original Washington Market to Wenatchee, he did so with the belief that serving the finest and freshest foods, and treating people like family, was the only way to do business. All these years later, Bill’s grandson and his wife, Betsy — the heart, soul and chef of Washington Market — bring that same ethic to the bucolic shores of Lake Chelan. Welcome.
