The Oil & Vinegar Cellar

Reviewed By sshep58464 - Bagram, Afghanistan

What a delight this shop is, we all loved it an bought several oils, vinegars, and salts. They have such a great selection and the flavors are amazing. You can sample everything they have which is both a good and bad thing because you will love it and you will end up buying so much more than you plan but it is so worth it. They also have samples of mixes that they create using their oils, vinegar, and salts that if you like them they list exactly what they used to create the flavors which you can then buy and create yourself as well. Truly, one of our favorite shops that we visited. Who knew, we thought it would be the wine tasting and buying that we would do the most of and to our delight it was the oil and vinegar shop that won our hearts. Definitely will stop there again any time we are in the area. We were there on a family trip and even my young grandson enjoyed the sampling at this place. I would say though that this is more of an adult activity in my opinion however, my grandson really enjoyed it but then we only had the one young one with 3 adults. We all had a great time though I wouldn't necessarily say this is an activity if you have a lot of young children with you.

The Cheesemongers Shop

Reviewed By Sarah_SQ6334SQ - Port Orchard, United States

Everything we tried was yummy: a creamy garlic gouda, caramelized onion cheese, flagsheep, sheep's milk cheese from France, goat's milk cheese from Humboldt County . . . but the cheese they're known for is the applewood smoked cheddar. The best! They sell more than cheese: pretzel mix, jarred treats, etc. They are more than happy to let you sample any cheese.

Nutcracker Museum

Displaying over 7000 nutcrackers, the Nutcracker Museum is a unique experience for visitors. People have come from all over the world specifically to view this unique collection. You’ll find nutcrackers from Roman times to modern day and nutting stones from the Archaic period. Children and grownups will enjoy a “nutcracker hunt”, our version of a scavenger hunt! As of December 2019, we are now located on the ground level in the same building we have always been in. Stop by and take a look at our newly expanded museum and store.

Wow. This place is incredible!! We spent over an hour and could have spent 2 if it wasn’t for our toddler. What an incredible collection. For $5 this is absolutely worth the time. The staff were so friendly and the founder was there, 95yrs old and still doing what she loves how incredible! The shop has a great selection of ornaments and nutcrackers for sale and some pre owned for sale at a great price. Some were doing a scavenger hunt which looked cool to do!

WooHoo Winery

We are a boutique family winery handcrafting wines from both Washington grapes. From a bold Washington Syrah to sweeter style wines like our Berry Sangria and Warm Spiced Red Wine (German Gluhwien). We invite you to stop by our tasting room in Leavenworth and sample a taste of WooHoo

Reviewed By SusanH4001

My friend and I went to Woo Hoo Winery because we loved the name. We found a great server there, good conversation and FANTASTIC wine cups by Heifermade by Delania. I wish I had bought more for the girls in my family, because I couldn't find them online. The hot mulled wine was delicious and all the other selections were great as well. The tasting fee is waived when you buy wine, so a great deal.
