Sun Mountain Lodge

Introduction

Sun Mountain Lodge is committed to contributing to the economic vitality of their community. They are the largest private employer in the Methow Valley. When the Lodge was rebuilt in 1989, they used local craftsmen. The majority of their room furniture was created right there in Winthrop, including all of the stone and metal work with the exception of their chandeliers. The crown jewel of their resort is their food and wine program. The Sun Mountain Lodge Dining Room is one of very few Washington State resort dining rooms with the coveted AAA Four Diamond Award. Their wine cellar has received numerous awards, including the prestigious Wine Restaurant of the Year and Wine Growers Appreciation Award. The wine cellar boasts over 3,500 bottles of primarily Washington wines, many of which are unavailable outside the wineries. Their dining program truly is farm-to-table. The majority of their in-season fruits and vegetables are grown right there in the Methow Valley. They contract with many farmers, some of whom use horse and plow. Chickens used by their kitchen are organically raised. Their hamburgers and charcuteries are house-made from local organic beef–quality guaranteed. You will find house-made mustard, pickled greens and eggs, and other great delicacies waiting to please your palate. The Lodge is surrounded by a myriad of hiking, biking, cross country skiing, and snow shoe trails. Spring flowers are abundant.
