9.Wine Tasting Experience at Silvara Cellars Leavenworth

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 20 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes (approx.) · from $109

You’ll hear about Washington wine and Silvara’s bottles; Nielsen has been praised for making the tasting both lively and educational.

“When we arrived at the location, no one was there and the building was dark. After waiting awhile, a nice employee showed up. She advised the owner was out of town, the person who does the tasting had left, and she/they are not advised who is coming for the tasting. She did offer us a bottle of wine, but considering how much I’d spent on this and it was supposed to be 5 different tastings, I opted to decline the bottle of wine. I’m still waiting to get my money back. Very disappointed. It was not this employees fault. The owner should be on top of this.”

13.Lively Leavenworth WA Scavenger Hunt

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 3 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Start at Icicle Coffee & Chocolates in Leavenworth, collect your digital quest from a live remote host, then tackle photo tasks, clues, and bonus challenges around town. You choose whether to walk or drive between checkpoints. The hunt mixes indoor and outdoor stops, welcomes families and dogs, and ends back at the starting point.

“I feel the promotion for this scavenger hunt was misleading. We paid for 3 adults and 2 children and only managed to do a few of the challenges. It was no fun for the kids and not very engaging for the adults either. There were no clues or hints to be gathered along the way (pointing toward a final destination or reward), just tasks to do and points compiled. So, the kids went back to sledding and the rest of us didn't complete it. I feel we wasted the money.”
