Cashmere Washington Tourism

Cashmere, located near the geographic center of Washington, is truly small-town America, with easy-going smiles from its residents and a lifestyle reminiscent of its historic past. And Cashmere is quickly becoming known as the small town that has something to offer everyone.

Boasting over 300 days of sunshine, Cashmere is at the heart of four seasons of recreational activity, including swimming, rock climbing, white-water rafting and mountain biking. Scenic Cashmere invites leisurely walks. Many locals use the paved trail at Riverside Park along the Wenatchee River of Riverside Drive for walking and biking. Located in downtown Cashmere at the heart of Cashmere’s apple and apricot orchards is world-famous Liberty Orchards, makers of Aplets and Cotlets candies, a confection modeled on a well-loved Middle Eastern candy. Free guided tours are offered regularly, and free samples crown the experience. For times, please call (509) 782-4088.

The Cashmere Museum and Pioneer Village offers history dating back to the last ice age and over 20 original pioneer buildings, with artifacts from the 1800s to early 1900s awaiting 21st century explorers. Nestled in the hills and canyons of the upper valley is Mount Cashmere Golf Course, a nine-hole par 35 golf course. The course is one block west of the Chelan County Expo Center, on Kimber Road.

Thousands of adventure seekers come to the Upper Valley each year to bike Cashmere’s Devil’s Gulch, one of the premiere single-track mountain bike trails in the state, or raft the Wenatchee River, famous for its spectacular white water and scenery. The rafting season lasts from late March or early April to July or August, depending on river height. Wineries and fruit stands also showcase the vintages rapidly putting north central Washington on the vintner’s map.

Cashmere has a growing number of tasting rooms just down the street from Liberty Orchards, or there’s Ryan Patrick Vineyards on Aplets Way. For those who don’t care for wine but still love the winery experience, a visit to Cashmere Cider Mill and Tasting Room is sure to satisfy. Artisan ciders, pressed from all-natural ingredients, feature a delicious bend of flavors. The Cider Mill also features live music, orchard tours and lodging.
