Discover the Magic of Winter & Wine

Igloo Experience

Welcome to Silvara Cellars, where the magic of winter meets the warmth of fine wine. Our exclusive Igloo Experience is a unique opportunity to escape to a cozy, heated igloo nestled in the heart of our enchanting garden. Imagine savoring exceptional wines while being surrounded by the snowcapped Cascades, a picturesque winter wonderland that provides the perfect backdrop for memorable moments.

Our hilltop winery is located just five minutes outside the bustling village of Leavenworth, WA, and a short, five-mile drive from the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Leavenworth’s convenient hotels, restaurants, and cafes are mere minutes away, and we’re also close to the stunning Cascade Loop scenic drive, which has made our area of Washington state renowned among nature lovers. Our igloos area offers inspiring views of some of the most dramatic landscapes in the USA—the perfect setting for enjoying our award-winning wines.
