Enjoy the Blooming Spring Orchards Near Leavenworth
Imagine driving along a roaring river surrounded by blooming orchards perfuming the cool air! Ready for a road trip? The perfect daytrip from Seattle for some fun in the mountains.
Head over to the Leavenworth/Wenatchee area in the spring and cruise through the blooming orchards on this tour, originally put together by Savor Central Washington (Formerly Cascades Farmland). You can either drive segments—or the entire route from Leavenworth, past Wenatchee, and on to Orondo. In 2023, expect peak apple blossoms April 26-30.
While exploring, there are many opportunities to stop at the wineries and fruit stands along the way. Even if the fruit isn’t ripe yet, you can pick up pickles, preserves, wine, and other treats.
If you do this trip in late April or early May, make sure to catch the Washington State Apple Blossom Festival in Wenatchee’s Memorial Park to enjoy good food, music, vendors, and events including a parade and 5K. The 2023 Festival runs from April 27th-May 7th.
Please remember that these are working orchards—people and pets are not permitted on orchard property.
