"We are so confident in our wines that if you ever open a bottle that does not meet your expectations we will replace it with one of the same or a different vintage, no questions asked.

Lauterbach Cellars Goes Solar!

In 2005, with the help of Alternative Energy Inc, we were one of the first wineries in the area to install solar electric.

This has been very exciting and very successful.  For the last year our electric bill for the residence, winery, and wine storage area has totaled $242.71. 

It is a great feeling to be pumping electricity into the grid at the peak hours of need, and at the same time greatly reducing the need for and cost of electric power. 

There is no place where this makes more sense than a winery.

What's Happening

Pressing

The 2011 Pinot is in and has fermented to wine.  It is now in the barrel and promicing to be another fabulous year.

About Our Vineyard

With the first harvest in 1998 we made homemade wine . The 1999 vintage was incredible and it became apparent that we could not give away wine forever. We began the permit process for a commercial winery and in 2002 our wines became available to everyone.

We now are in the process of expanding our winery to 2500 cases with a tasting room. We are slowly working through meeting all of the conditions of the use permit, and hope to be offering vineyard tastings soon.

Since 2006, all of our wines are estate bottled. We use only our grapes and all of the production is made in house. Luckily, whenever we have questions, Rod Berglund (the local wine historian, and the winemaker for Joseph Swan Vineyards) has been our wine consultant. You can see by the photo gallery that this is truly a family affair.

Our current new ventures are a Syrah Rose (first in 2006) and Syrah Port (2008). We are experimenting with the Syrah Port by producing about a half barrel.  The first 2 vintages of the port have been bottled, however we are not allowed to call it a port so it will be known as Syrah Dessert Wine.
