Grand Opening at Swiftwater Cellars

Last weekend was the opening of Swiftwater Cellars - the new winery in Suncadia. All year long we've been patiently awaiting this weekend and we finally got to see inside the 41,000 sq ft facility! We attended the ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday morning with about 200 other people. Friday's ceremony also included wine tasting, opening of Hoist House restaurant & access to the gift shop. Our photos do not do justice to how beautiful & HUGE this winery is so please do yourself a favor and at least stop by on your next visit to Suncadia.

Donnie Watts (general manager), his family & employees talk about the history of the area and the future of the winery.

"We are officially open for business!" -Lori Watts

Copper fire places will be very popular when enjoying a glass of wine during the winter months!

Donnie & his wife, Megan Watts, have not only been busy building & managing their own winery but also have an infant daughter Sofia. Her 'hollywood star' can be found at the entrance of the winery.

A crowd of people finally get their first look inside the winery!

VIP parking for those who drive pink scooters.

A floor to ceiling fireplace stands 2 stories tall in the Fireside Room.

Several lounge areas to enjoy a bottle of wine.

A large gift shop is full of apparel & decor.

For my mother who loves a fake moose head.

For the grand opening on Saturday, the winery held an outdoor concert featuring Countryfied & Lonestar!

An aerial photo on No. 9 is displayed in the Fireside Room.

The Hoist House features casual fare with wood fire pizzas, paninis during the week and fine dining on the weekends.

The 41,000 sq ft building lies on the No. 9 coal mine, the last operating coal mine in the Roslyn area.

The winery features historic pieces to honor the mining culture.

A 360-degree bar connects the Hoist House restaurant and the wine tasting area.

The Fireside Room offers beautiful views of the Rope Rider Golf Course.

The No. 9 mine shaft opening closed in 1963 marking an end to coal mining.

Carpenter House Museum & Art Gallery

This past weekend I took a tour through the Carpenter House Museum in Cle Elum. This 3 story house was built in 1914 and was home to a banker Frank Carpenter and his wife Nora Carr. Inside the house you will find many historical treasures & a variety of antique furniture. The house is also home to the artwork of the High Country Artists. Throughout the year, the HCA displays different pieces of art, from paintings, writing, jewelry and sculpture. To learn more about their organization or to join please visit their website.

Enjoy our photo tour but be sure to stop by and explore some of Cle Elum's finest history. The museum is open Fri-Sun 12-4pm.

The dining room with buffet and china cabinet.

The living room with original furnishings was mainly used by the ladies. The wool rug dates back to 1911 and the cove moldings are each one piece.

The piano was Nora's, she was musician & attended New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and also taught piano and music history.

The victrola is a French cabriole style played with a bamboo needle. And it actually works!

In the library, the fall front desk made circa 1800 was used by Mr. Carpenter. This room known as 'man's territory' was mainly used for quiet time; having a smoke and a drink!

A tube type radio.

The maid's stairs to the kitchen.

The kitchen contains some wonderful antique appliances.

By far my favorite piece in the house! A versatile cupboard also known as a "Kitchen Queen" contains a meat grinder, drawers with flour and sugar bins, and vintage cookbooks.

A copper washing machine...looks complicated!

On the landing you'll find a small set of stairs that leads to the maid's room.

Master bathroom with pedestal style tub & sink.

Between the master bathroom and bedroom is a walk through closet. Hooks are used for hanging clothes as hangers were a later invention.

The master bedroom was furnished by the Carpenter's daughter, Margaret. She moved home after her marriage.

Mrs. Carpenter's treadle sewing machine.

The wood furnishings in the French style nursery belonged to Margaret and Susie, Margaret's adopted daughter. The furniture was made by the Boeing Company before World War II.

The iron baby crib.

The children's table and chairs are made of mission oak.

The 3rd floor ballroom is actually considered the children's playroom. On the walls you'll find local artwork. The children's desks are from the old Cle Elum Elementary.
