Pioneers of Irish Wine
Ireland’s Largest Commercial Winery
Fairy Trees Winery was established In 2021 by the Laclie Family – who come from five generations of Cognac Distillers in France.
Our brand name – Fairy Trees – is something which represents Irish history and also represents the long heritage of the Laclie family tree.
The tale of the ‘Fairy Trees’ in Ireland is as old as time, and the Laclie family history reaches back to the 1700s – merging the history and magic of Ireland’s mythical tales with the French/ Irish heritage of the family is something which was important to us.
Our wine is made by hand, through a labour of love, patience, and many, many years of expertise.
Fairy Trees is a perfect name to represent the pioneers of Irish wine and celebrate the emerging wine industry in Ireland.
Fairy Trees Winery is a small family run vineyard on a very big mission:
To create the finest Irish Wines
Our Master Winemaker, also known as ‘Vigneron’ – is Bertrand Laclie.
Bertrand hails from a family of many generations of distillers, brewers and wine makers in the Cognac region of France. Bertrand and his family decided to set up business in Ireland after he fell in love with the country while studying here in the early 2000s.
Bertrand, his wife Jennifer and their two sons, along with their team, have realised the dream of growing wine in Ireland.
Our Fairy Trees vineyard is located on the banks of the River Dee, on the picturesque East Coast of Ireland in Co. Louth and we currently boast 12 acres of vineyard. 8 more acres will be planted in 2025, which will give a total of 20 acres.
Our wines are 100% harvested by hand and many, many hours of labour and determination go into producing wines of this calibre. We have one goal in mind – to put Irish wine on the map and to open the door to other winemakers to take the plunge and enjoy the temperate Irish climate – something we consider ideal for growing.
Our wines are produced from grapes grown in the East of Ireland. We have a world-class
wine making team with extensive experience in still wine and cool climate wine regions.
Our wines are made to the highest standards using the latest wine making techniques,
resulting in elegant wines with balanced acidity and rich fruit characters.
In 2024 we launched our ‘Aged Series’ with our ‘Discovery Series’ due to launch in early 2025.
