Leavenworth, the Bavarian town, not the prison

For my husband's birthday we're taking a little trip to Leavenworth.  That's Leavenworth, WA, not KS.  It's the Bavarian town in the Cascade Mountains, not the state pen!

Apparently, we're the only 2 people who have never been there!  I'm not really sure, yet, what we're going to do all weekend, sans-Peanut.  Walk around town, of course.  Do some wine tasting.  Play some golf.  I did get a brochure from the Leavenworth Chamber of Commerce, outlining all the possible stuff to do, so I have a couple of ideas, but there's a lot in there.  I'm curious, what do you recommend we see and do? 

I was told we need to go to Ducks & Drakes, so that's for sure on the list.  What else? Are the old timey photo places worth it?  Which golf course should we play?  And apparently there's a chocolate factory and a beer hall that we need to visit?  I need suggestions!

  1. Don't order a Mojito at Ducks & Drakes... that's where we were when the bartender found some "mint" growing in the empty lot behind the bar and proceeded to make us a mojito... definitely not mint... and although the random weed he used to make our drink didn't kill us, I wouldn't recommend it. :-)

    There are, of course, several excellent wineries in the area, and the Leavenworth Brewery has some decent beers.

    Why are my suggestions all related to alcohol?
