A Taste of Winthrop

Horseback Riding in Winthrop, horseback riding in Winthrop wa lakes in Winthrop wa Methow xc skiing Methow Valley Camping
Historic town preserved to the Wild West 1850’s on the brink of the national forest.

The cute little Western town of Winthrop WA is a fantastic vacation destination that you’ll definitely want to check off your bucket list! Winthrop is on the edge of the national forest and state land; a recipe for fabulous outdoor adventure . Unfortunately, we can’t visit the town right night, but we can certainly get a taste of some of the delicious meals we would eat if we could visit.

Sun Mountain Lodge‘s Chicken Curry Soup Recipe:

Sun Mountain Lodge is nestled on a hilltop with breathtaking views of the Cascade Mountains. The lodge offers horseback riding, sleigh rides, access to year round trails, pools, wine tasting, and so much more.

I don’t know if you’ve ever had this soup, but if you haven’t, you’ve been missing out. A Winthrop local positively *begged* for this recipe years ago and the restaurant (rightfully) declined. In light of this pandemic, Sun Mountain Lodge is offering you this amazing opportunity to try the soup as a *teaser* of what else you could enjoy in Winthrop, WA once the hotels are able to open again.

Sun Mountain Lodge as well as their kitchen is currently closed, but is looking forward to reopening as soon as safely possible.

Old Schoolhouse Brewery‘s Chocolate Stout Cake Recipe:

Old Schoolhouse Brewery started in 2008 along the downtown boardwalk of Winthrop, WA. The tiny storefront (which resembles an old schoolhouse) expands to the back of the building to a large riverfront patio where diners can relax and unwind, and often enjoy live music. The award winning beer in cans and bottles is available across the state. Check the website for availability.

This recipe has never been shared before, so get ready for something delicious! This simple recipe with relatively few ingredients can work with any stout recipe including OSB’s award winning Hooligan Stout, Melipona Stout (an artisan vanilla stout), or even Imperial Stout.
