What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about Hard Row to Hoe Vineyards for its unique stories, seriously good organic wines, and welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. The vineyard's commitment to sustainability and its pet-friendly nature are frequently highlighted as major draws, making it a memorable stop in Lake Chelan.
"Hard Row to Hoe is such a fun and memorable stop in Lake Chelan. The tasting room has a lighthearted, cheeky vibe, but the wines themselves are seriously good. I loved the Shameless Hussy Rose on a hot summer afternoon, and the Burning Desire Cabernet Franc is elegant with just the right amount of spice.
What really sets this place apart is the story and the values behind it. It’s a family-run, organic vineyard that farms with a focus on sustainability and is even certified Salmon-Safe, which matters a lot in this region. You can feel good about the wine in your glass, knowing the vineyard practices are protecting the lake and the surrounding environment. And every tasting room associate knows “the story”, which you have to ask for on your first visit.
Between the beautiful views, the playful branding, and the genuine warmth of the people who run it, Hard Row to Hoe is a winery I’d happily recommend to anyone visiting Lake Chelan or Manson."

"I think this is my favorite winery in this area. It is small, but it has a cozy and very nice "home" feeling.
The bartender/server will come to greet you and talk about the wines and stories of the place.
The wine we had in the tasting room was very tasty, not spicy or smoky but very smooth. We loved it a lot and ended up buying a couple of bottles.
It is also pet friendly. My pups got a lot of pets and love from the guests there.
Will definitely visit again when we visit Lake Chelan area next time."

"Delicious wines and absolutely the best company in the Chelan AVA. This small, family run vineyard should be top of your list when visiting the Lake Chelan area. Lots of fun for kids and dogs too. We loved the new shaded area for our kids to run around and play in. Their fun themes - Nauti Buoy, Shameless Hussy, etc. add to their uniqueness. Don't forget to ask about the origin story of their label! Don't forget the Port shots in a yummy chocolate cup. Cheers."
