If you’ve lived in Washington longer than about five minutes, you already know Washington’s wine industry is fantastic. And if you enjoy vino, you’ve probably spent some time at your favorite local wineries. But if you’ve never been to Karma Vineyards in Chelan, you owe it to yourself to check it out — if nothing else, for the underground wine cave.
Karma Vineyards is located at 1681 S Lakeshore Rd., right next to the beautiful Lake Chelan.
Karma Vineyards Facebook Owners Julie and Brett Pittsinger bought the property over 15 yeas ago, and they’ve been making wonderful wine and champagne ever since.
It was actually Julie’s love of traditional French-style champagne that prompted the couple to purchase the property, and Karma is now the only Methode Champenoise house in the area.
Karma Vineyards Facebook The Methode Champenoise method requires a secondary fermentation in the bottle, and you can definitely taste the difference.
The property was built into the side of a mountain, giving it a unique appearance…
