Industry friends, are you heading to WineVit this week?
Join me (Lacey!) as I lead the Business Development Session on Monday. We have some amazing speakers from @wsutricities, favorite fellow winery friends (@gardvintners @gooseridgewines @pattersoncellars) and industry gurus (looking at you @reddoutwineconsulting) to share knowledge on sales, marketing, managing multiple tasting rooms (will come in handy as we prep to open our SODO location!), and best fit hiring for your team. Lots of room for discussion and Q&A from the crowd too!
See you there?

We go with the {cross}flow!
In prep for white wine bottling in two weeks, our production team cross flow filtered the Grenache Blanc (and also Nellie Mae, Rosé, and Picardan!) today. It’s one of the last steps in the process and makes these wines crystal clear.

We are continuing to make progress in our Seattle Tasting Room. Last week the light fixtures were replaced with the Cairdeas Barn inspired chandeliers and pendant lights and our new dishwasher was installed!
We can't wait to share this space with you. Follow along on the journey and we will continue to provide updates on our progress and opening details!

The entire Cairdeas Crew got a sneak peek of racking today!
We’re continuing to rack (aka move) our 2022 red wines this week, moving each wine out of barrel, rinsing out leftover sediment from secondary fermentation, and returning the wine back to barrel for aging.

We can’t get over this morning's view! Sunshine, after the light dusting of snow yesterday, makes the perfect landscape as we head into the second weekend of Winterfest!

Last week we hosted a Holiday Pop Up Tasting in Seattle... but really it was a surprise open house for our BRAND NEW SEATTLE TASTING ROOM, coming in 2023! ✨
Thank you to all of our wine club members who attended - your reactions were the best!
We (Charlie and Lacey) started this wild winemaking dream in West Seattle in 2009 and the minute we moved to the beautiful Lake Chelan Wine Valley, we knew that if we ever opened up a second tasting room, it would be in Seattle, a stones throw from where we first started. The stars have aligned, and here we are!
Our new space will be located at SODO Urbanworks alongside some of the best winery neighbors. We are in the process of bringing the Cairdeas Barn vibe to the space, and if all falls into place, we anticipate opening February 2023. Stay tuned for all of the details as they unfold!
