The Entire Lake
On a map, Lake Chelan looks more like a snake then a proper lake. From the town of Chelan, where you stayed last night, you cannot see the other end. So today, you'll fix that problem by taking a boat to the far side. Once there, you'll explore a very small town that is only accessible by boat or foot.

The Vogue Coffee Bar
It's an early morning, so stop into the sleek and chic Vogue Coffee Bar for a cup of brew. They serve Blue Star Coffee and pastries from Lake Chelan Artisan Bakery. They also make really good smoothies. Have some breakfast and then head to the dock.

Your destination: Stehekin Pastry Company. It will likely shock you to find this little bakery in a cabin in the woods, but once you try the food you'll understand why the Stehekin Pastry Company is infamous in the Cascades. Pick up lunch and a sweet treat to-go.

Mellisoni Vineyards
To wrap up your boat ride day, do the other thing that Chelan is known for: go wine tasting at a vineyard. There are plenty of wineries to choose from, and Mellisoni Vineyards is a good one. It's founded on the premise of agritourism, or sharing the production experience with the customer. Their hours are variable depending on the day, so book your tasting in advance. If any of the wines taste familiar, it could be because you had some last night at Andante!

Local Myth Pizza
This is a Chelan favorite for pizza and calzones. This cozy pizzeria will lure you in with the smell of garlic and freshly baked food. Eat in or pick up some grub to take back to your hotel.
