We are a Family Run vineyard and winery with a focus on crafting unique, quality wines
Our Brand
We understandably get a lot of questions about what our brand means. LaNoue DuBois (LahNew DewBwah) isn’t exactly the easiest name to say, but it has deep meaning to us. In French, it means “LaNoue of the Woods.” LaNoue is our last name, and the maiden name of the matriarch in our family is Woods. All of the surrounding property around the vineyard and winery used to be part of the Woods Estate, and the vineyard is still called Woods Estate Vineyard. This dream of ours couldn’t have happened without both families, so we chose this name to be symbolic of “LaNoue Wines From The Woods Estate”.
The Winery
Our Tasting Room is beautifully trimmed with wood from the Woods Family Farm, and is available for business or social meetings and special events, with a capacity of 35. We also have a large patio with a wonderful view of the San Juans, including tables and sun umbrellas as well as picnic tables. The 2500 sq. ft. Production Floor is below the Tasting Room, with tours (including tastings) available on request. Please check our EVENTS page for upcoming events.
The Vineyard
We believe in sustainable farming practices, and our vineyard shows it. There is a total of 15 planted acres on our estate that utilize a solar-powered drip irrigation system.
All weeding is done by hand, and we don’t spray herbicides or pesticides.
The five varieties that we grow are Marechal Foch, Leon Millot, Frontenac, Frontenac Gris, and New York Black Muscat. Never heard of any of these? That’s ok, neither has most of our first time customers. All five of these varieties are either called “Cold Hardy” or “French-American Hybrid” varieties. These Cold Hardy varieties are extremely resilient to cold temperatures, and have a natural resistance to diseases. Even in wet years we don’t have to spray for things like Powdery Mildew!
massage and wine packages
We have collaborated with Body-Mind Connection Massage for a one-of-a-kind wine and massage pairing. The amazing masseuses with Body-Mind Connection will meet you in our vineyard for a 60- or 90-minute single or couple’s massage. As you bask in your massage, enjoy the sounds of the Uncompaghre River flowing by and the smells of the grapes in bloom. Afterwards join us in the Tasting Room to continue indulging your senses with the additional options of a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board.

Since we are a family run winery, and one of us is almost always on the property, we can offer more flexibility after hours or on days we are closed. Please email Lee@lanouewines.com if you’d like to schedule a private tasting, tour, event, or to pick up some wine if you can’t get off of work before we close.
