Sip local wine at Lost River Winery
For those that arrive via Hwy 20 the first place you’ll see as you head into town is the family owned Lost River Winery. Go ahead and pull in for the first taste of your weekend in Winthrop! Their wines, which source their grapes from the Columbia Valley, have won multiple awards. Since I’m a red drinker, I’m partial to the Community Red, which you can buy in a bottle, refillable growler, or a handy pouch for camping trips! In the tasting room, patrons receive a complimentary taste and they u...
Check out the Shafer Museum
One of the coolest things to do in Winthrop on a weekend getaway is check out the Shafer Museum. To get there, I suggest the path and stairs across the street from the Rio Vista Hotel. The path goes over a small canal and then up the hillside to the museum, so it’s a great way to combine a scenic walk in Winthrop with some sightseeing. The museum consists of several buildings, each with a historical focus, and lots and lots of equipment used in the area from logging, mining, and farming. Ther...
Grab dinner and drinks at the Old Schoolhouse Brewery
When it’s time for dinner, make your way over to the Old Schoolhouse Brewery. In the summer season, they can be packed inside and on the riverside patio. If time allows, give the staff your name, get a drink and find a spot in The Hangover while you wait for a patio table. While you’re dining, you won’t regret it when the conversation mingles with the sounds of the river. Their food is locally sourced and the staff is super friendly. They have year-round music, and in the summer it’s on the o...
Start the day with breakfast at Three Fingered Jack’s Saloon
This day is all about walking around, which means it’s time for a hearty breakfast at Three Fingered Jack’s Saloon, the oldest legal saloon in Washington State. It is named after Jack Lemma, a local butcher who accidentally cut off two of his fingers. Ouch, that’s gotta hurt! The restaurant opens at 7 a.m. for breakfast. We got there around 8:30 a.m. and had no problem getting a table, but a few patrons that came in after us had to a wait a few minutes. They are also open for lunch and dinner...
Go for a hike along Staeekhwa Bridge and Trail
After breakfast, head right toward the north edge of town to the Staeekhwa Bridge and riverside hiking trail. This suspension bridge is smaller than the Spring Creek Bridge and goes over the Chewah River. The trail meanders along the river with interpretive signs that note the area’s history and point out points of interest, past a fish screen, and ends at rapids up the river. From there the trail wanders into a new housing development, so just take it back to the bridge. Tip:The hike lasts a...
Sip ciders at the Methow Valley Cider House
Head back into town, and when you come to Hwy 20 turn right and go over the bridge, through the park and across the road to Methow Valley Cider House(right next to Lost River Winery). This is the town’s newest edition, and it has a great setup with a large cabin for tasting and casual dining, a partially covered patio (dogs allowed here), and an area for kids that includes a rock climbing wall. Along with their refreshing ciders, they have a selection of beer and wine, as well as, handcrafted...
Grab a bite for the road at Rocking Horse Bakery
Today, your weekend in Winthrop is coming to an end, so you’re going to have a lighter breakfast and indulge in your specialty coffee habits at Rocking Horse Bakery. We highly recommend the cinnamon pull aparts and breakfast sandwiches, but we didn’t love the Cinnamon Roll. If it’s a clear day, sit at the picnic tables in the back next to the river. If you are a bread lover, buy a loaf to take home with you — it’s quite good! Afterward, take one last walk around town or return to the museum t...
Optional: Stop at Lake Diablo Lookout on the way home
If you return home via HWY 20, be sure to stop at the Lake Diablo Lookout. The views from this location are absolutely mind-blowing! *** Thinking of visiting Winthrop? Find the best deal, compare prices, and read what other travelers have to say at TripAdvisor IHotels.com ITravelocity.com. ***
River Run Inn
Our stay at River Run Inndid not disappoint. It has an ideal location next to the river, and you are close to downtown but far enough away that it feels like you are on a Methow Valley retreat. Its amenities, such as a large grassy yard with games, hammocks, fire pits, and an indoor pool and hot tub, encourage fun and relaxation. Since there were three of us, we chose to stay in a cabin which gave us a little more room to spread out. The cabins are staggered which provides more privacy betwee...
Pine Near R.V. Park
This cute RV park also hosts several cabins which are a great choice for where to stay when you’re visiting Winthrop. We were pleasantly surprised by its simple yet modern comforts which included a plush queen bed (which we both slept great on), two nightstands, two cushy chairs, a small refrigerator, microwave, AC, and heat. Outside amenities included a large outdoor mat, two Adirondack chairs, a table, and a portable fire pit (kettle grill) which was a great place to end the evenings!
