Boudreaux Cellars

Boudreaux Cellars is a family-owned winery in the Cascade Mountains near Leavenworth, set in a stone building about four miles off the power grid. The winery blends the culture of Louisiana with Washington winemaking traditions and relies on old-school techniques to make hand-crafted wines, with a focus on aromatic, complex Cabernet Sauvignon from some of the oldest blocks in the state.

Visitors can taste in two places. The winery in Icicle Canyon is open by appointment only, with a minimum purchase of one case per couple, and tastings are held among the barrels. A second tasting room sits in downtown Leavenworth across from the town park gazebo. It is styled after a New Orleans French Quarter tasting room, with gaslights, a zinc-topped bar, a small performance stage and leather sofas.

Wine club members are invited to spring and fall release parties at the winery, and the club also includes tastings at the downtown room.
