Did someone say girls' trip? We’re in! Wenatchee offers a unique, relaxing, and fun weekend escape from city life, perfect for when you want to get away with your girlfriends in a scenic valley while sipping wine, relaxing at the spa, shopping downtown, and more.  

Here is your itinerary for the perfect girl’s weekend in Wenatchee.

Friday Afternoon

3:00 PM – Check in to your hotel. There are lots of great lodging options around Wenatchee, including the Residence Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, and Coast Hotel. If you're looking for an extra special stay, consider Warm Springs Inn and Winery, a mansion turned B+B (with gourmet breakfasts by an award-winning chef) that sits alongside the Columbia River.  

4:00 PM – Take a stroll on the Apple Capital Loop Trail. Depending on where you choose to stay, the trail will either be right outside your door or just a short drive away. Take in the scenery by taking a short walk on this iconic 10-mile paved loop trail that goes along the Columbia River, past Pybus Public Market, and through beautiful parks.  

6:00 PM – Dinner with a view. Head to Union Hill Cider or Circle 5 Winery, depending on what you prefer to drink. Both offer food options, amazing views of the valley and Columbia River below, and live music on select days. Make sure to check out their events calendar for more info.
