OUR STORY
We are a small vineyard with 15 acres of carefully farmed, estate-grown fruit. Around 600 cases of wine each harvest, and growing. With our talented winemakers, we produce high quality wine that expresses the fruit and terroir of our vineyard. La Chouette (shoe-ette), French translation for “the owl”, French slang for “cool, fantastic”
Just south of Salem in the Willamette Valley, our vineyard enjoys a picturesque southwest exposure with stunning views of Oregon’s Coastal Range. Set at elevations ranging from 250 to 500 feet, it benefits from warm westward breezes that ensure consistent bud breaks in early April. The upper section of the vineyard was established in the fall of 2007, while the lower sections were completed in the spring of 2020.

Reserve a Tasting
We currently have tastings by appointment only. Tastings are 1 to 1 1/2 hours and from 11-5. Use our calendar to see availability. Calling or texting can work, but isn’t the best way to visit La Chouette and experience our wines.
La Chouette Wines
All of our wines come from our estate vineyard in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Wines can be purchased from our vineyard, The Arbor on State Street, or on line.
