Such an adorable little winery! I have loved the personal touch of the owner telling stories about the winery while running our tastings! The winery is named after an early settler, Ira Chadsey, who built stone cairns at the back of the property claiming they would guide him home in the afterlife when he returned as a white horse. A century later, the story is still being told, hence the winery By Chadsey’s Cairns.
