The experience

The tour starts in Riverfront Park and follows the Wenatchee River as it winds toward Leavenworth's Bavarian Village. Your guide leads the group on snowshoes, pausing at scenic spots to take photos and point out the landscape. The guides carry local history and recommendations for other activities in town, so you get context for what you're seeing rather than just a walk through snow.

Midway through, you stop at one of the local wineries for a tasting: either German spiced wine (Glühwein) or hot apple cider, depending on what you choose. Both warm you up after the trek along the river. Snowshoe rental is included, so you don't need to bring your own or arrange it separately.
