trip planner Icicle TV Dzhan Wiley Dzhan Wiley CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT Hiking abounds near Icicle Creek. The Bavarian theme pervades at Icicle Brewing. Get your fix of beers and brats at München Haus. Kingfisher Restaurant & Wine Bar, a renowned performance center and a self-guided art walk, showing off the magnificent permanent installation by legendary glass artist Dale Chihuly. Long known for its sustainable and ecologically minded practices, this Certified B corporation resort, also offers enticing amenities like an on-site spa and heated pool. Its mission which incorporates nature, art, recreation and healthful dining is so special,” Vandenbrink said. Harriet Bullitt, a multitalented entrepreneur and longtime supporter of the arts and environmental conservation in the Pacific Northwest, started the Sleeping Lady. “I want people to leave here and feel as though they can change their corner of the world,” she once said. Day FAT BIKES • BREWS • BRATS Those staying at Sleeping Lady start the morning with a vibrant, seasonal breakfast spread included in their package. Otherwise, mosey into town for espresso with a view at Argonaut—try the Namaste Latte with turmeric and honey accompanied by the tiny café’s granola bars or seasonal toasts. Afterward, locals suggest hiking up Icicle Ridge or out Red Bridge, the two main town trails, or hitting the Stuart or Colchuck trails. Other options include arranging a river adventure with Osprey Rafting or taking a fat bike onto the Leavenworth Winter Sports Club trails. After getting out into nature, relish an après beverage and snack at Blewett Brewing, Boudreaux Cellars, 37 Cellars, Blue Spirits Distilling or Icicle Brewing Company. At Icicle, a friendly twenty-five-barrel brewhouse, waitstaff serve giant pretzels dipped in Beecher’s cheese and colorful salads topped with manchego, Applegate turkey and Chukar cherries. The venue draws loyal fans thanks to a bustling scene, live music sessions and seasonally rotated beers made with Icicle Creek water, which flows into the Wenatchee River less than a mile from the venue. Get a sampler to try an array of brews ranging from lagers to porters and IPAs. If you still have steam for an afternoon adventure, consider mountain biking up at Ski Hill, riding the new Up Trail and then down either Fruend or Rosy Boa. On scorching days, cool off with a dip in the Wenatchee River. “The best thing about Leavenworth is the incredible mountain setting and endless recreational opportunities at its doorstep,” Vandenbrink said. For a casual dinner, order a brat at festive München Haus, or change things up entirely with a Mexican feast at South, where grilled street corn, sweet potato enchiladas, steak tacos and “mangorita” cocktails prove a well-deserved reward after an active day. Sleeping Lady guests take advantage of dinner at Kingfisher Restaurant, included in their package—here, chefs create gourmet meals from the freshest local ingredients, many from the resort’s own 2-acre organic garden. 82 1889 WASHINGTON’S MAGAZINE AUGUST | SEPTEMBER 2018

Icicle Brewing Company iciclebrewing.com/home Blewett Brewing Company blewettbrew.com Oktoberfest leavenworthoktoberfest.com If you happen to be in town during Oktoberfest (October 5-6, 12-13, and 19- 20), head to the gathering’s four venues to eat, drink and be merry. A Keg Tapping Ceremony led by the town’s mayor happens at 1 p.m. on Saturdays, and throughout the fest, enjoy live tunes by Musikkapelle Leavenworth and other groups from the U.S., Canada and Germany. (Children under 12 enter for free, as do military members with I.D. Minors, allowed until 9 p.m., will enjoy the designated Kinderplatz area.) Vandenbrink offered some insider tips for negotiating Oktoberfest crowds, like walking or taking a shuttle from one’s hotel. (Sleeping Lady offers a complimentary shuttle for guests on Saturdays.) Other tips— go early if you seek a mellow experience, know that Friday is cheaper than Saturday, and sit at Icicle Brewing Company, Sulla Vita or the Goose Ridge tasting room for the people watching. In general, cycling is a good way to get around in high season. “The trickiest part of living in Leavenworth is navigating around town during peak periods,” Vandenbrink said. “In the spring and summer, I just jump on my bike, so sitting in traffic or parking aren’t an issue.” After checking out the festival revelry, pop into stores like Posy Handpicked Goods, where the owner raves about her location along a “row of small-production companies that have a lot of soul and speak their own vibe.” This woman-owned shop supports small businesses mostly from the Pacific Northwest. Next door, The Hunter’s Wife serves healthful takeaway fuel, ideal for commencing your journey home. (Think plant-powered meals and refreshing smoothies with names such as “Mystic Matcha.”) On the drive back to Seattle, treat yourself to a coffee pit stop at Little Red Shed, about halfway between Leavenworth and the pass. Or—as a nod to your Americana road trip— tuck into a burger and fries, served out of the 59er Diner food truck, as memories of your blissful Bavarian getaway fade in the rearview mirror.
