About Nefarious Cellars
Nefarious Cellars is a Washington State winery producing handcrafted wines from the Lake Chelan AVA — Washington's most scenic wine destination, where vineyards cascade down to the shores of a glacier-carved mountain lake. The winery's portfolio focuses on Riesling, Pinot Gris, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot — the varieties that have established Washington's reputation as one of America's most exciting wine-producing states.
Lake Chelan's unique microclimate is moderated by the 50-mile glacier-carved lake, which absorbs summer heat and releases it through the fall, extending the growing season and producing wines of elegant freshness. Nefarious Cellars's approach reflects the careful viticulture and winemaking that has driven Washington wine's rise from regional curiosity to international recognition.
Chelan town offers resort accommodation, water sports, and walkable access to tasting rooms, while lakeside wineries provide some of the most scenic tasting experiences in the Pacific Northwest. Nefarious Cellars welcomes visitors for wine tasting and is a valued member of the Washington wine community.
