Open: Year Round

Cairdeas is an ancient Gaelic word meaning friendship, goodwill or alliance. We believe in all three. Good wine should be shared with friends, goodwill spread at every opportunity, and alliances created with those who share our passion.Cairdeas Winery is a very small artisan winery started in 2009 by Charlie & Lacey Lybecker.

Our winery was founded in West Seattle, but our hearts were calling us to the Chelan Valley. Lacey had visited the area for work and she convinced Charlie to vacation to the big lake and visit the surrounding wineries. After spending just one afternoon touring the Lake Chelan Wine Valley we had found our new home. Our focus is to create small lots of fantastic wines made from Washington's best fruit while practicing sustainable wine making and supporting our local businesses.

A lot of people ask what the correct pronunciation of 'Cairdeas' is or how it is spelled phonetically. The simple answer is that there isn't one! With the Gaelic language the pronunciation or phonetic spelling varies based on the dialect of the person saying it. Some of the variations we have found are: korr-djass, KAR-juss, and cargis. We pronounce it as Car-dess.
