A combined winery-and-orchard operation with the longest confirmed apple variety list in this research batch — eight named varieties, including newer club apples like EverCrisp and Ludacrisp — though the tasting room's limited hours don't necessarily match u-pick field hours.
Chelan Valley Farms combines a 20-acre u-pick apple orchard with flower fields and a working vineyard-and-tasting-room, near Manson on Lake Chelan. What sets it apart in this research batch is the sheer range of confirmed apple varieties: eight named on the farm’s own site, more than any other orchard covered here, including two relatively new club varieties — EverCrisp and Ludacrisp — that you won’t find listed at most of the other stops in this batch.
The full confirmed list is Sweet Maia, Gala, Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, Cosmic Crisp, EverCrisp, Ludacrisp, and Red Delicious. That spans the full ripening calendar in rough terms — Gala and Sweet Maia tend to come earlier, Honeycrisp and Golden Delicious sit in the middle, and EverCrisp in particular is bred as a later-season apple, often ripening into October. Having both an old standby like Red Delicious and a newer club apple like Ludacrisp on the same list suggests an orchard that’s replanted and diversified over time rather than sticking with one generation of trees. The tradeoff is that the record doesn’t say which of these eight are ready on any given week — a September visit and an October visit here could look quite different in terms of what’s actually hanging on the trees.
The farm’s own site describes u-pick apples as typically starting the first week of September and running through October. That’s useful as a planning baseline, but it’s explicitly a general pattern rather than a dated 2026 announcement, so treat “first week of September” as a reasonable guess rather than a confirmed opening day. If you want a specific date before committing to a trip, a call to 509-435-1813 closer to Labor Day is the way to nail it down.
The vineyard and tasting room keep limited hours — Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 5pm. That’s worth flagging because those hours describe the tasting room specifically, and the record doesn’t confirm whether the u-pick field itself follows the same schedule or operates more broadly. If you’re planning a visit outside that Wednesday-to-Sunday window hoping to combine picking with a tasting, call ahead to check that the orchard side of the property is actually staffed and open that day.
Beyond the orchard, the property includes flower fields and the vineyard/tasting room itself. That combination — u-pick fruit, flowers, and wine on one 20-acre property — makes this one of the more varied stops in the Chelan area covered in this research batch, useful if your group has mixed interests beyond just picking apples.
Chelan Valley Farms is at 2389 Green Ave in Manson, in the same general Chelan-area cluster as Chelan Ranch and Allview Orchards, both also covered in this research batch. The lat/lng on file represent Manson’s city-center coordinates rather than a geocoded street address, so navigate using the address itself. Given the variety on offer here, this is a reasonable anchor for a Chelan-area orchard day, with the other two nearby stops as additional options if you want to compare varieties or pricing.
Chelan Valley Farms offers the widest confirmed apple selection in this batch and a genuinely different property — orchard plus vineyard plus flower fields — worth building a visit around. Just don’t assume the tasting room’s Wednesday-through-Sunday schedule tells you anything definite about when the orchard itself is open; confirm that separately before you drive out.
