“All three children live here in Boyz. It started with my daughter, who visited Boyz State and we somehow fell in love with Boyz and the area, “Williams said. “We thought,” Man, this is a really great winery market. ”

Winery for Property in Lake Chelan

Williams owns a vineyard of 40 acres, Lake Celan Winery, which was the first winery in the area of ​​Lake Chelan. They also operate a restaurant and a tasting room called Wapato Point Celars in Manson, Washington.

“We have been in the wine business for over 25 years. We started as producers of tree fruit producers in the North Central Washington, the area of ​​Lake Chelan, “Williams said. “When this industry took a beating in the late 1990s, we switched to growing grapes and started the wine industry there. Now there are about 40 wineries in the Chelan valley. ”

The Celan Lake Wine and its private labels for Wapato Point cellars and the Kludt-Williams family winery focus on property grown wines. This means that their wines are made from grapes grown in their winery, and they manage the whole process of creating wine.

“There are no longer many operations in the wine industry nowadays that grow from beginning to end,” he said. “When we plant the first vine, when we sell the last bottle, we are in it every step of the way.”

Even with growth, they are proud to be family and focus on “building a community”.

“Our mantra has always been to build a community where we are, and that’s why we are everything. This is definitely a family operation, with three generations of farmers/winemakers, “he said. “Now our son, Stephen, will manage the Hyde Park tasting room.”

In addition to the wine, the Kludt-Williams Family Family Winery will offer its hard cider, a gold cider, along with beer and light bites.

“We will make cheese and charcoat. In the end, we will have five or six menu items and serve light bites, mostly cheese and cheese -oriented and charcoal, “Williams said. “We will have a little delicacy where we will have cheese, dried meats, dried fruits, all, market, market style.”

The Kludt-Williams Family Family Winery will be open from noon to 18:00, Wednesday to Sunday and depending on the traffic and warmer weather, its hours can extend to the evening.

“We were lucky”

Williams said they were excited to work in Hyde Park.

“We love the area, the northern end. I guess we are lucky. We knew for several years that we wanted to be in Hyde Park just because it is a high traffic area, it corresponds to our values ​​in terms of the desire to build a community, “he said. “We are small, very suitable for the family surgery and this has always been a huge part of our business, being family. We want families with children to be able to go out and enjoy what we can offer. ”

In addition to the tasting room, there is a large patio outside to enjoy the warmer weather.

We enclosed the yard, we will have a lot of sitting places outside. In fact, we will have heaters when it is cold, “he said. “… we will probably put a game of corn or two in front.”

Williams said two main components of their “brand are authenticity and accessibility” and hopes to be reflected in the Kludt-Williams family winery.

“We want customers to feel extremely welcome and comfortable to be here and just have a great experience,” he said. “Drink what they like, drink what they want or not, and just know that if you come to our establishment, you will have a great, authentic experience.”
