My husband and I visited yesterday for our Anniversary. It is our first time in the Chelan wine region. We travel a lot and definitely have a wine bias. We really enjoy learning and experiencing wines from all over the world. We visited 7 different wineries annd enjoyed many of them but have to say, this one is our favorite. First, the greeting and welcome were wonderful. Andrea was lovely. My favorite thing to do is ask a lot of questions about wine and their process. She answered every question and was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. You can tell it's a great place to work. Second, the wine. They specialize in Rhône varietals and what really makes them stand out is their use of concrete in the wine making process. Their Grenache Blanc and concrete Syrah are outstanding! All of their wines are beautiful. We highly recommend them and will definitely be back. read more

We had the pleasure of stopping in here of Memorial Day weekend and it did not disappoint! I've tasted my fair share of wineries and it has been a solid ten years since I found one I'd happily join as a member. The Grenache was by far my favorite - it was perfectly balanced with a smooth palate. A very close second was the Viognier. Danielle was our wine pourer and she was a gem - very personable and friendly. She helped me figure out exactly what I wanted in my wine club membership. I knew after my first two tastings I had found my new favorite spot and I cannot wait to come back next time we're in town and take advantage of the members patio. If you're looking for a fantastic winery in the area, do not pass this place up. Highly recommend! read more

We walked in with no real expectations and walked out members of a new wine club. We did a wine tasting and each glass of wine came with a full background story and some insight into the owners which makes the winery feel more homey. We did not get any food, but enjoyed each and every wine we had. If you are a member of their wine club, they have a separate upstairs room which is even more intimate and comes with amazing views. Highly recommend. read more

Incredible experience here! Incredible prices on tastings and bottles. Super kid friendly, with lots of activities for them! The owners seem lovely, and there is definitely a tremendous amount of legacy in these wines. Their kids make the labels and it's clear talent runs in the family! We left with 4 bottles! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Do not come here if you are from out of state. They took 45 minutes to check a group of girls' IDs (who are 24-25 years old) and denied service because they "could not in good faith serve us". They cannot reliably check an ID that is not from Washington. This winery needs to get an ID scanner or update whatever their so called "book" they are using to reference IDs. They just lost business from 10 girls who were more than willing to spend $$ at their winery. We went to Chelan Ridge Winery after and had an AMAZING time. Go there instead! read more

Had an amazing experience here. Cassi was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were extremely impressed with her. Wines were delicious and we will be back. Highly recommend. read more

This is a nice, scenic spot to enjoy a wine tasing. Admittedly, I know nothing about wine, and don't drink much, so I can't say much about the taste. But it was a nice place to enjoy a sunny day. Also, the staff was super friendly and hospitable. read more

This winery is really wonderful! We were greeted warmly and waited on by Kasandra who was super friendly and helpful. She knew a lot about the wines and explained the winery process and personal tidbits about the owners and their experience. The wine was DELICIOUS. We ended up buying the Rosé and Syrah. The view and outdoor patio was beautiful. Will be back! read more

Great place for wine tasting and they're also paired with a restaurant that has good food. We enjoyed their wines and bought several bottles. The woman serving us was so friendly and helpful. Nice patio seating too. Highly recommend. read more

Pronounced "car-diss". (Gaelic) Beautiful winery with a copper top roof (you can even see it from the boat when on Lake Chelan.) Beautiful ambiance & views. The wine made from grapes grown in Rhone, France. Tasting = 4, 1 white, 3 red. Definitely recommend the Counoise! Delicious! I really prefer this type of wine as its not too dry. Light, fragrant & flavorful. read more

After we were greeted by the wine dogs, we entered into this modern, open space and were lead outside to sit at tables out in the sun. A few tastes of reds that I still can't pronounce tickled our fancy. I thought enough to join up and bring some home. Staff was patient explaining the all that. I think this was my favorite stop in Chelan. read more

Bring your own cheese board!!! A really beautiful winery in a beautiful setting in the mountains. Definitely would like to shout out our amazing Wine waiter-Epi. He was so sweet and knowledgeable. Loved getting to know a little about him and the areA. They do actually have small cheeseboards for purchase but you can bring small snacks in as well. A modern but cozy space with outstanding wines. They have card/table games all around, so it's an added touch of activity while you sip sip away your worries! read more

Lovely winery to start our weekend in Chelan. We enjoyed the flight option, and found the various blends both tasty and different enough we could pick out the subtle differences in the wine. My boyfriend's favorite was the Trí and my favorite was the Consonance. Would recommend for anyone wanting to explore the Washington wine scene. Make sure to get reservations so you can enjoy one of the seating bubbles overlooking the lake! read more

Really great wines, especially their red wines with a gorgeous tasting room to match. Top it off with friendly staff who know their stuff and this has become one of our very favorite wineries in town! read more

Beautiful place, great selection of wine, and great service! Went here for a tasting with a group of 8 during a bachelorette trip and they were amazing! read more

Cairdeas Winery is a great spot! The server was really warm, welcoming, and did a great job explaining the different wines and history of the place. The wine itself also tasted great and paired fantastically with the charcuterie boards on offer. Their Grenache dominant wines were especially good. There's really good indoor and outdoor seating with a great view and location next to a few other wineries. Overall great place with tasty wine and a comfortable vibe. read more

First, I have to say we have been coming to Cairdeas for years as one of our go-to wineries in the lake Chelan area. We love the Nellie Mae, and this year I especially enjoy the Tri and concrete Syrah. But, can we also talk about this serious glow-up their tasting room just had?! It is lodge style and oh so cozy. The upstairs is for club members only, which honestly is only a 6-bottle commitment, so why not?! Their view from their patio is gorgeous and is just as enjoyable in winter as it is summer. So happy for this small business and to see their project turn out so beautifully! read more

Loved the atmosphere and the wine was great! The only thing I found strange was while getting the wine flight the glass was not switched out in between tasting the wines. The only reason for the 4 star. I've been to many wineries and I feel it's almost a must to get a new glass or at least a rinsed glass between wines to get the true flavor. The service was great and the view was lovely! read more

We sat in an outside patio bubble for a tasting and it was great! Epi did an amazing job of describing the wines and then we added the chocolate pairing, just do it! Plus, we could bring our corgis to sit with us. Beautiful view of lake Chelan and the wine is delicious! read more

View is probably the only thing worth coming here for. I guess I went with high expectation thinking it's next to Succession Winery so service, ambiance and wine would be great. We were a large group and had called in and made reservations outside before hand which worked out perfectly. These winery is two stories. Decent size. They were kinda busy but wasn't as busy as other wineries we had been to earlier. Service was slow so we opted for bottles vs tasting. We got to sample two wines before committing to a bottle. Between samples to bottles there was a wait as it appeared only one person was working. Wine was ok. We had a bottle of 2022 Grenache which was just ok. Our hostess was rushing so she opened two bottles for us so we were kinda stuck with it. It was very basic. The other wines we tasted were also basic. Something about the ambiance at this place was cold. It wasn't fun tasting here. We consumed our bottles and left within an hour. Our hostess also asked where we were headed to and we mentioned next door to Succession and she said make sure to take your car with you and not just walk over and she left. Our experience here felt very abrupt. Maybe they were short handed etc but I don't plan on returning to this winery anytime soon. read more

Wonderful wines. We walked away with several bottles. Epie (Eppy) was excellent - he guided us through the tastings and provided us with one of the best customer service experiences we had during our wine tasting weekend. The view is amazing and the establishment is comfortable and relaxing. I would highly recommend the wines and the staff. read more

This wine is fantastic!! The service was friendly and attentive! The view from the winery is awesome and totally worth the time to go and enjoy their wine! I love this place and always come here when I'm in Chelan! Please come visit! read more

Out of the 3 wineries we visited today, Cairdeas was our favorite! The service and ambiance was very down to earth, our server was extremely friendly, and best of all, the wines were delicious. We made a reservation online to sit outside, but there were still plenty of tables available since it's March, and the transparent canopy walls allowed us to enjoy the view but stay cozy with the heaters. The winery is about 13 years old, Cairdeas is gaelic for friendship, goodwill, and alliance. The $15 tasting we shared included a syrah, counoise, caislean an papa, consonance, and port-style petite sirah since they were out of whites. While the syrah was my favorite, I was extremely surprised by the dessert wine since it only had 3% sugar and the syrupy, chocolate-y finish was tasty without being overwhelmingly sweet. Bottles ranged from mid $40-$75, with the tasting fee waived with a 2 bottle purchased. 5% off 6 bottles and 10% off 12+ bottles, but they also ship for free if you purchase 6+ bottles! There's also snacks and merchandise for purchase, either as packs or ala carte, so we got some crackers and salame. Fun, no-frills spot, definitely recommend! read more

The winery tasting room is easily accessible from the key routes and they allow pets outside. They do have club membership seating upstairs. We booked as a group and they seated us at two outside tables. So we started pulling a table the three feet so we could continue to be a group. One of the employees was extremely rude and clearly delivered the message she didn't want us to be seated together. I'm ok with them no wanting the tables to be moved but how the message was delivered was just inappropriately done. Our server was good and we looked after her appropriately. The wines are done in the Rhône style - based on their prices, I'd just buy the real thing from Europe. read more

Our favorite wine of our visit. Staff is friendly, efficient and informative. We purchased a few bottles to bring home!

Spectacular tasting room with Spectacular wines. These are definately the best and most interesting I've tried in my time in Chelan and the first that have been good enough to make me want to consider joining their wine club and get stuff shipped home to Seattle. My only hesitation is I'm already out of room to store all the wine I already have read more

Rhône valley style wines were pretty successful. I've come here a number of times over the last few years and rarely encounter a wine i didn't enjoy. The tasting room is just big enough and the service is always friendly and helpful. The wines are just good. well executed and aren't some barely drinkable liquid. It's nice to find somewhere that has a perspective and the capability to execute well. Check them out!! read more

We did a tasting here and enjoyed it, largely thanks to our somm, who knew her stuff and was fun. I grilled her with a lot of questions, and she consistently had good answers. The view is also quite nice, too. Cairdeas has a common Chelan story, which is just that the wine isn't nearly as good as what you find in Walla Walla or Red Mountain. All you can do is accept that and enjoy. Here, the wine is good but just not worth the price. I'd pay for $25-30 these wines, but for $45+, no way. So, enjoy your tasting and the good view and then point your car to Walla Walla for wine that is truly worth your money. read more

Great experience. Lovely view from outside patio where we enjoyed a flight and lots of great information shared by the very friendly server (proprietor?). We bought two bottles to bring home and shared with some friends who are far more knowledgeable wine connoisseurs than we are. They loved the wines. We would love to return to this place someday. read more

Rhone inspired winery has some very unique wines for the region. The grapes the grow and source are rare if not missing from other Washington wines. $10 tasting is good value for the quality of wines. They have case specials that are well worth it as you might not find a similar bottle outside the tasting room. read more

Great red wines. I love the concrete Malbec and Caislean du Papa. The upstairs of the barn is a great space for wine club members, and the leather modern furniture adds a class and sophistication not seen at many other places. read more

Our last stop after a long day of wine tasting, we thought maybe our taste buds would be too fatigued by the day's work. They were instead revived upon encountering Cairdeas' particularly amazing Rhone-style wines. All hits. We drank every last drop poured, and both us and our friends signed up as club members before leaving. I only wish we lived closer by so we could come here all the time. We'll definitely make a point of returning to learn more about their operation and take in the lovely view on their patio with some of their delicious wine. Bonus points for the petanque court which we had so much fun learning to play. read more

Terrific wine, especially the whites. In Chelan, expectations are moderate given how great the Walla Walla wines are. But every pour was strong, with two being stellar. Tasting patio was comfy, amazing views, and tasty charcuterie plate. Terrific service on a busy Memorial Day. read more

My fav stop in Manson. Or Chelan for that matter. Such good and consistent wine. Love their outdoor space. Can't wait for the new barn to open. Lots of good stuff coming out of here, you will not be disappointed! read more

Charlie and Lacey, you both are the best! I just opened my fall allocation and it's so lovely! The packaging is impeccable and I especially love the magnet you included, very classy! I wish I was closer so I could come visit in person more often but I wanted to say thank you for the fall wines and your attention to details, even small ones like shipping boxes! read more

Absolutely amazing in every aspect. The Owners, staff and resident puppies are all incredibly friendly. There is no pretentiousness about this winery. Dog friendly, kid friendly and parent perfect! Joined the wine club and will be make this place a frequent visit on our trips to the area. The wine is exceptional!! During our current pandemic, the staff all had masks and were following state laws with distancing, capacity and cleanliness. Each table had its own sanitizer and the staff kept masks on when talking to you. We felt safe and had a wonderful time. Would absolutely recommend making reservations. They make the process super easy with either call in or online reservations. read more
