Vin du Lac delivers the classic Chelan trifecta! It has gorgeous lake views, easygoing vibes, and food that quietly overachieves. The standout was the carrots, it was my favorite surprisingly, beautifully roasted, naturally sweet, and layered over a rich, bright purée that made the whole dish feel special. Paired with a glass of sparkling rosé and with wide open patio view, it was one of those simple, perfect winery moments. And don't forget your dogs! From the bright beet dish to the perfectly cooked salmon to the classic burger and fries, everything tasted like the kitchen actually enjoys what they're doing. Well done to the cooks in the back! The staff was wonderful, attentive, and genuinely happy to help you settle in with a glass of something sparkling while you take in the view. read more

My family has always loved Vin Du Lac winery, my father-in-law even had a very lovely wedding here back in 2017. I've had their wines many times at home, but hadn't been in for a visit and taste in many many years until this past Memorial Day weekend. Sadly, the winery experience to me was a little underwhelming. The grounds felt a little scattered, and the team working seemed a little cold to my in-laws (despite them being long time members and locals). The Sauvignon Blanc bottle we shared had the very distinct "cat pee" aroma that I couldn't get out of my nose. I had to choke it down. The views were beautiful and I know their other wines have been good, I'm just not sure if this is some place I'd come back to given all the many other fantastic options in the area. read more

A rare dog friendly winery in Chelan with proper food, hurrah! We came here around 140 on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and got a great table outdoors with a view and shade, minimal wait. Our waiter was really friendly and nice. For lunch, we had the steelhead, Caesar salad and marinated beets, all which were delicious. It was our best meal in Chelan yet. read more

I visited 2 weeks ago with a friend and the experience was pretty good. The staff were pretty friendly and gave us some yummy glasses of wine. We ordered the shrimp from the appetizers and both agreed that was fine but the salad underneath was so bitter and under dressed that we ended up not even eating it. My mom and I went yesterday and we were completely ignored from the moment we got there. She went to sit down and I stood at the ordering bar for a good 10 minutes with two staff members (deliberately?) avoiding eye contact and didn't say a word to me while they were getting together a bill for someone else (who was actually friendly enough to apologize for being up there so long). This could have easily been a 1 person job (and no, they were not training anyone). Either way, not greeting or acknowledging someone new standing there for 10 minutes is beyond rude. My mom and I both also noticed they weren't even busy at all -most tables and areas completely empty - maybe 2 small groups who already had their things and no one else in line but me.... We ended up just leaving.. not going back. read more

This spot was okay! I was really excited by the wine selection, view, and food offerings, and was very happy with one of them. We got there and were handed a buzzer, as they had timed seatings and weren't able to seat us right away. This was totally fine, just something to be aware of. We were still able to drink some wine while we waited for a table to open up. The view was incredible and we loved our "table waiting" spot! The wine itself wasn't my style, it's pretty acidic, but almost to the point where the other fruit flavors don't come through. We didn't end up getting a bottle of anything after our tasting. For dinner, there were plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options. I ended up getting smoked salmon with lentils and it was just that: dry smoked salmon with lentils. It was super dry and had no sauce. My friend got the halibut and it was just a slab of halibut with some leaves around it. For about $45 per plate, we definitely left hungry. The staff and view are lovely, I just didn't really like the menu options we tried. I would go back for a girls trip or as a last stop, but wouldn't show up hungry again. read more

Vin du Lac Winery & Bistro - Lovely view! - New American Near Me - Chelan, Washington

The view is amazing of Chelan lake and mountains, grounds are beautiful with potted flowers. Staff was friendly and set up outdoor furniture on the patio. The food, all outstanding! The chicken sandwich was chilled breast meat with toasted bread. Cashier stated that the chicken sandwich would be warm. Almost all menu offerings were cold, but I felt that warm sandwiches and soup would have been better menu offerings considering the cool and windy weather. Or maybe use portable heaters in the tent. The wine was all good. Also bought a bottle. The $15 tasting includes 4 samples. Bartender said the pours would be 1.5-2oz. I'm pretty sure most were under 1.5.oz. We ordered two individual glasses of wine which were both shallow pours. Seems $18 and $14 glasses should be average pours at least. Also, there were fresh harvested grapes in bins that looked amazing. If some were used to garnish each meal would be really special and deepen the winery experience. Make the customer feel special. It would be so easy! read more

Amazing views and loved sitting out on the lawn sipping wine. The wine wasn't my cup of tea but I never hold that against a place as it is mainly personal preference. Ate at the restaurant. The food and service didn't warrant the price point ($45 entree). Ordered the halibut, which was just a piece of fish on arugula. It was decent but not with the price. read more

Stopped for lunch and wine tasting. Food felt very basic and what you might find at a Safeway deli. Skip the Mediterranean platter - decently not worth the price. Go for the wine tasting and views. Bottle felt expensive. read more

Love the view!!! Favorite winery in Chelan!! Food is very good. But their charcuterie board can use some improvement. Used to include chutney and good jam but last few times none was present and cheese was like a regular mozarella or cheddar and not spreadable. Used to be a really good charcuterie board even few months back. And please do not put unripe watermelon on that board, it really does not belong there. Otherwise wine and food is good, but especially the view- the best! read more

Beautiful view and nice outdoor seating. Glad they had an all white tasting available.

Everyone here was so friendly. They even welcomed our dog and gave him treats and fresh water. We did two samplings of wine so we could try the majority of them. The staff is knowledgeable and kind. We didn't know much about wine so they gave us clear instructions to help our experience! We ended up buying two bottles and the wine sampling fee is put towards the purchase of a bottle. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The view is spectacular and looks over lake Chelan. read more

Beautiful French winery on the lake. Amazing views and friendly service! The heated patio is great even in early April. They were very accommodating when we wanted to do the tasting out by the lake and have lunch in the covered patio. We got a bottle of the Pinot Gris and enjoyed it with their delicious shareables. The food was absolutely yummy! Lots of vegetarian options. This should be a must-visit in your wine hop in the area! read more

Fav restaurant in chelan! Great casual vibes and amazing food! Space has been upgraded to maximize the amazing view of the lake

When going to Lake Chelan, you have to stop by a winery. This one was a 30 minute walk from the Grandview. Breath taking view while walking to and at the winery. You can bring your children. No reservations required (unless it's a bigger party). There's a nice selection of whites and reds. I'm not too much of a wine person, so it's hard to review that. But the view while getting tipsy was gorgeous. There are multiple lounge chairs for you to sit back and relax. The service was nice and engaging. They accidentally gave me my wrong wine tasting and let me keep those and gave me my correct one. Service for the food was slightly slow but food was good. Lake Chelan has a thing for tachos (tater tots nachos). read more

Visited Vin Du Lac on a Sunday afternoon around 12:45. Very popular spot - we checked in with the front and next available seating was 2:15pm. We ordered a bottle of wine and found some seating on the lawn and hung out until our table was ready. Venue was on the hill overlooking the lake - beautiful location. Menu had a good variety - we ordered a few dishes to share (Sandwich on raisin bread, salad, and Mac and cheese with chicken). As for wine - we tried the 2015 Syrah. Lovely afternoon in Chelan :) if you're looking for a spot to hangout with decent food and wine (you will not be disappointed). read more

Came here on March 03, 2024, for a 'Sunday Farmhouse Community Supper.' Maybe it was just our naivety, but we were expecting a, well, farmhouse or barn. Instead, we dined in a formerly open patio terrace that was enclosed with unfinished sheets of plywood and plastic sheeting. Since it was off-season, there was just the two of us and a party of 5 that sat on the other side of the room. The food was brought out course-by-course and was presented by a chef who explained all the items to us. I guess this was Southern Night, and although one item on the menu said 'spicy pickled vegetables' we did not expect everything to be spicy. Normally I do not do spicy, but got through it and enjoyed a new experience. There was so much food. I think they gave the two of us servings for four, which was nice since the meals were $40 each. We looked forward to having left-overs, but ... Come to find out, the staff combined our left-overs with the other party's left-overs. I am not about to take that home. Sadly, so much food went to waste. The staff was really nice. GPS directions take you down the wrong road. In fact, a neighbor has a sign posted on the street that says, "Your GPS is wrong. Turn around and go back." Maybe, hopefully, with time they will work the bugs out of their program. read more

The food was decent enough. The wine... meh. Not good. The ambience/experience for dinner was not great. We were told they had the heated tent up and since we had our little kids with us, and it was a chilly October evening, we were excited to have the option of a heated tent. It was not exactly set up for a great experience. Warm, but that was the only benefit? Zero decor. 3-4 randomly placed tables in there. No music or lights to create a nice atmosphere. We felt really awkward being in there. It was just the conversation from our table and the one other couple in there echoing in the tent. Seemed like they are going through maybe a management or ownership change based on the employee and club member conversations we overheard? Great location and beautiful view of the lake. But don't go for dinner if you're looking for a nice evening unless you're willing to sit outside. read more

Fabulous views and a great way to enjoy the outdoors while drinking wine outside in Chelan. We had the French dip and it was phenomenal. French fries delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

Lovely!!! We came during a busy hot Chelan weekend during Phase 1.5 COVID. There was limited seating, all on the patio. Service was great!! The staff was friendly & helpful. The patio has great views, with umbrellas for shade and sunny spots to enjoy the heat. We ordered wine to start. The tasting allows you to pick three options. The white pinot noir was a perfect choice for the day. The winner w was sold out of the Rose', and as they said, a good problem for a winery to have. Our lunch was fabulous. We ordered a side of fries to get started -and it was a very shareable/generous portion. Hubs and I shared a burger (so we could get dessert). It was delicious, cooked perfectly. I opted to try the sangria after my initial wine tasting, sangria was delightful!! Perfect for a hot day, not too sweet. Did I mention dessert?? The strawberry shortcake was OMG good!! It's a must order item! Great spot to wine taste and dine!! read more

Vin du Lac is a beautiful winery with views of the lake. We arrived at 6:45 on a Monday and joined the waitlist to sit for dinner, because they don't take reservations anymore. While we waited, we were able to order wine and appetizers and sit in the adirondack chairs that they have all around the grass facing the views. We got some wine and a charcuterie board. I think they forgot our charcuterie board because we did have to ask about it after about 30 minutes, and ended up getting it right before our table was ready at about 7:40. No worries, they were busy, but if we had been on a timeline it could have been an issue. We ordered dinner and it came out fairly quickly. The rosé pasta was delicious, so was the shrimp pasta salad. Other people in my group got the french dip, fried chicken sandwich, and mediterranean pasta which they all said were delicious. I will definitely be returning here on future trips for the views and delicious food! read more

The view was great! We came during the off-season and got lucky with the weather and man the view is amazing. Even our kids appreciated it ;) Service was great, attentive, prompt and kind (especially our 3 kids.) Food was good - our kids raved about the butter noodles. Wife got the burger and side salad. Good 4 out of 5. I got the chicken cacciatore (half chicken) - taste was really good, but the chicken breast was dry. The dark meat part of the great. Only small complaint for the food. Wine - Cotes Du Lac was our favorite from the 2 (6 choices) samplings. read more

Cute little winery. We had wine tasting, which was $10 for three 1 ounce pours. Decent wine. Their food was good and service was fast. Kobe beef burger was good and cooked perfectly medium. The bread on the chicken and jalapeño sandwich was delicious and fresh. Tachos were good too. They gave our kids bubbles to play with, which was nice. read more

Vin du Lac Winery & Bistro - French Dip and Sauvignon Blanc - New American Near Me - Chelan, Washington

Stopped by twice during the weekend of 10.02.21 because the wine was wonderful and the views were breathtaking! When you walk up to the counter you order your wine, pay and seat yourself. Both times we sat at the corner front table that had a beautiful view. There are also lawn chairs on the grass afacing the water you can sit at. While seated a bistro worker will ask if you'd like to order food. (The bistro & Vin du Lac are separate businesses sharing space). Both wine & bistro server were very friendly! WINE: 5 stars The wine was delicious! A tasting consists of 3 wines and costs $10. Our favorite wines were the Tempranillo ($30 bottle) & Pinot Noir ($40 bottle). On the day of, they had 7 wines to choose from for the tastings. Tasting waived per bottle purchase. The Food: 2 stars The Charcuterie board was $22. It was a good amount of food but would've liked to see less of the olives and a bit more meat. The Kobe cheeseburger with bacon was $21 or $22. We asked for it medium and it came out well done. The fries were cold. The smoked Gouda Mac & cheese was $17. Good portion tossed in cheese sauce and covered in a mountain layer of panko crumbs. Usually I love Panko crumbs on my Mac & cheese but they weren't broiled or charred on. Meaning we had dry raw bread crumbs. Was not a great combination the dry toppings with cheesy pasta. Overall, would not suggest the food past the charcuterie board. We will definitely be back for some wine on our next weekend trip! Such a charming winery with magazine worthy views. Really makes for a romantic lively evening. read more

Stopped by to see my aunt who lives in town and grab lunch. Our server was super nice and on top of it. It's outdoor seating only at this time but can't beat the views anyhow. We had the French dip and the chicken salad sandwich, both fresh and delicious. I would come back for the French dip, was better than another I had in town the evening prior. The muscles also looked so good! The prices are similar to anywhere else. We both left with a bottle of rose, it's a good one. read more

Kind of a weird vibe, the waiters seemed like it was a hassle to help us. Asked for a food menu twice and was never given one. Wine was good though. Will try going back, hoping it was just an off day? I feel like the building had a bit of deferred maintenance. read more

Gorgeous view- delicious wine/food-great service, what more can you ask for on a gorgeous day in Lake Chelan. This place was very close to where our Condo was for the week and it was our first stop. The view is just amazing overlooking the Lake. Ashley was our server and she was so friendly and amazing. We had food allergies and so she made a point to ensure everything was good with our orders. We ordered the chicken burger and the serving was big enough to share between two people. The Tachos were yummy and the freshly made banquette was just what you needed with wine. We did some tasting and it's $15 and waived if you purchase a bottle which we did. They a great rosé and delish selections of red. Very light reds that pairs well with everything. I loved this place and since been here for a week have stopped back here twice for view and wine. If you are around definitely a spot you wanna try. All covid precautions are in place- sanitizers, mask and social distancing. The have some Pinot specials by the case. I'm not a Pinot person but the deals are good. Thank you Ashley for making our visit there just great. Your friendliness and accommodation towards our dietary requirements were very must appreciated. read more
