Cairdeas Winery

"You can’t miss Cairdeas if you’re on a Chelan wine tour—we mean this literally, as it’s impossible not to see their copper-roofed barn from across the lake. Taking inspiration from the Rhône Valley, the husband-and-wife team behind this operation produces bold grenaches and easy-to-drink red blends. Their rosé and white options, with notes of summer berries and stone fruit, are perfect for the area's dry heat, and they also have a Sodo tasting room if you don’t want to lug a case back to Seattle.
