Succession Wines was established in 2015 by Brock and Erica Lindsay, inspired by the resilience that followed the 2014 Carlton Complex Fire, which destroyed their home and ultimately set them on the path to creating the winery. Named to reflect legacy, perseverance, and future generations, the winery has become one of the valley’s most inspiring stories. Brock, an engineer by training, brought a precise, process-driven approach to the cellar before his passing in 2023 at just 40. Today, Erica Lindsay continues to lead the winery alongside her talented team, carrying forward the vision they built together. The Manson tasting room looks out over the lake and snow-capped peaks, welcoming guests year-round and offering a fitting place to raise a glass to resilience and the enduring spirit of Lake Chelan.
