Leavenworth tasting room is moving
With a heavy heart we announce the Leavenworth Tasting Room will be closing and moving to another location in South Bend, WA.
Our last day in Leavenworth will be December 31st 2024.
We will continue to make all your favorites at the winery in Raymond, WA and remain open to the public there.
After 14 wonderful years in Leavenworth, we are saddened but also excited for the next road in our journey. This decision was not an easy one to make for many reasons.
As a husband-and-wife team with a couple of young children, we opened the winery in 2005 and the tasting room in 2009, at that time we lived and made the wine in the Wenatchee valley.
However, 10 years ago, we moved our home and winery to our family farm in Southwestern Washington, where we now make the wine and maintain another tasting room at the winery.
This long distance between us and our Leavenworth tasting room has its challenges, and with increasing costs in Leavenworth it now makes sense to make this move.
We have been very lucky over the years to have wonderful people helping to run this location, and our small team has been very important to our success in Leavenworth, we appreciate them all, both current and past employees, and know you would look forward to their smiling faces when you came to visit.
All of our current staff were informed of this decision at the beginning of September in the hopes of them finding work soon, we hope you are able to stop in and see them and say hi before they move on to their next venture.
We have deeply valued your patronage over the years, and we hope you can come see us at either the winery in Raymond or the new tasting room in South Bend in the future, this is the best course of action for our family and business at this time and appreciate your understanding.
We will continue to make all your favorites, we also now ship to over 20 states, and shipping is a flat $20 fee within WA for up to 12 bottles.
Wine club will continue as usual, and we understand many of you like the convenience of picking up in Leavenworth which will be possible thru December 31st.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this transition, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at donna@woohoowinery.com
Sincerely,
Mike and Donna Franks
