This Hidden Oasis In Washington Is A Little Piece Of Paradise
When you think of Washington wine country, Walla Walla or the Yakima Valley may be what comes to mind. But we also have a few “hidden gem” wineries scattered throughout the state, including one in a rather unlikely spot. But China Bend Winery is always worth a visit… and you can even spend the night.

Kettle Falls is located in Stevens County, about 80 miles northwest of Spokane, on the banks of the Columbia River.

You can even boat in. If you're boating on Lake Roosevelt, you may notice a WINERY sign at the cove of Rattlesnake Creek, just below the Little Dalles. Anchor your boat there and follow the trail to the wine.

But if you want to try any white wine or rose, you'll have to come to the winery itself.
