Pioneers of Irish Wine
Ireland’s Largest Commercial Winery
Fairy Trees Winery was founded in 2021 by the Laclie Family, whose roots trace back five generations to esteemed Cognac distillers in France.
The name Fairy Trees symbolizes a connection to Irish history while also honoring the deep heritage of the Laclie family tree. In Ireland, the legend of the Fairy Trees is timeless, and the Laclie family’s lineage dates back to the 1700s. For us, blending the magic of Ireland’s mythical stories with our family’s French-Irish heritage is both meaningful and significant.
At Fairy Trees Winery, our wines are crafted by hand, guided by patience, passion, and generations of expertise. As pioneers in Irish winemaking, we take pride in celebrating the emerging wine industry in Ireland.
Fairy Trees Winery is a small, family-run vineyard on a grand mission:
To produce the finest Irish wines
Our Master Winemaker, or Vigneron, is Bertrand Laclie.
Bertrand comes from a long lineage of distillers, brewers, and winemakers in the Cognac region of France. His passion for Ireland began in the late 90’s when he studied here and fell in love with the country’s charm and beauty.
Together with his wife Jennifer and their two sons, Bertrand made the bold decision to bring his expertise to Ireland, turning a dream into reality. Alongside their dedicated team, the Laclie family has succeeded in growing and crafting exceptional wine on Irish soil.
Nestled on the banks of the River Dee along Ireland’s picturesque East Coast in Co. Louth, Fairy Trees Vineyard spans 12 acres of carefully cultivated land. By 2025, we plan to expand by an additional 8 acres, bringing our total to 20 acres.
Our wines are 100% hand-harvested, with countless hours of dedication, care, and craftsmanship poured into every bottle. Driven by passion and perseverance, our mission is clear: to put Irish wine firmly on the global map and inspire other winemakers to embrace the potential of Ireland’s temperate climate – a climate we believe is perfectly suited for growing exceptional grapes.
Our wines are crafted from grapes grown on Ireland’s East Coast, where the unique climate provides an ideal environment for producing exceptional cool-climate wines. Our world-class winemaking team brings extensive experience in still wine production and expertise from renowned cool-climate wine regions.
Using the latest winemaking techniques, we produce wines of the highest standard, known for their elegance, balanced acidity, and rich fruit character.
In 2024, we proudly introduced our Aged Series, showcasing the depth and complexity of our wines. Looking ahead, our Discovery Series will launch in early 2025, alongside the much-anticipated release of our Irish sparkling wines – Brut and Rosé. These sparkling wines mark an exciting new chapter in our mission to highlight the extraordinary potential of Irish winemaking.
