October in the Lake Chelan Wine Valley is gorgeous with brilliant sun, spectacular color and the smell of freshly fallen leaves. Join us in back-to-back weekends as we celebrate our annual Crush Festival. The barrel room doors swing wide open and the work in the vineyards comes to the crush pad. Come taste, stomp and dance. Watch the grapes tumble through the press and taste the raw juice that it produces. Get the inside scoop from the cellar master or wine maker on how the wine will taste come bottling time. Sit down with us at the table for a harvest party or a winemaker dinner and share in the experience of harvest season.

At Cairdeas Winery, the crush pad is on full display! Watch us crush and de-stem grapes, press wine, or join us on an official vineyard tour – scheduled for 12:00pm and 2:30pm on the Saturdays of Crush. The harvest schedule is always on the move and we invite you to experience a snippet of harvest life.
