Guide to Landry Vineyards in West Monroe

On the edge of West Monroe sits a 50-acre plot of land home to North Louisiana’s only vineyard, Landry Vineyards. Vineyard and winery tours and tastings are just the beginning of the experience at this family-owned winery. 

Plan Your Trip to Landry Vineyards

Explore the Gorgeous Venue

The vineyard itself is stunning. The views begin on the drive down New Natchitoches Road, when suddenly, the trees stop, and the vineyard emerges right before your eyes. You’ll see sprawling hills with rows upon rows of grapevines. Landry Vineyards operates approximately 16 acres of wine grapes to craft more than 20 different wine varieties. Tours take guests through the vineyard, cellar, winery and tank room, crush pad and bottling facility, offering a soup-to-nuts look at the winemaking process.

The main building is modern, cabin-style with red-brown wood juxtaposed against the green of the grass and vines. Visit the tasting room or hang out on the patio. The band plays under a pavilion at the bottom of a slight decline, which makes for stadium-style seating and guests bring chairs and blankets. It’s really a lovely place to be.

Experience Live Music

There’s something about live music that just makes everything better, and these bands are so much fun. Bluegrass and classic rock ensembles have people of all ages cutting rugs like nobody’s business.

Throughout the spring and early fall, Landry Vineyards presents an outdoor music concert series, including classic rock, blues and country ensembles. Wines by the glass and bottle are available for purchase, and families can enjoy wagon rides through the vineyards. Check out their concert calendar to see the upcoming bands.

Taste Delicious Food

The best way to enjoy wine is with a charcuterie board to snack on, and Landry Vineyards offers cheese, summer sausage and crackers for purchase. Still hungry? They also bring in local food trucks for events, and during their concert series, 12” pizzas are also available.

The vineyard also allows guests to bring their own picnic dinner. Food tastes more delicious when eaten at a Landry Vineyards concert!

Enjoy the Community

Speaking of cutting a rug … well, it’s serious. It’s incredible to see groups of people come together and have fun. You can see families bonding, friends spending quality time together and couples getting closer. During the fall, the vineyard hosts a Blanc du Bois Stomp Celebration. Women dress up as Lucille Ball and recreate the iconic grape-stomping scene from the “I Love Lucy” show. This event embodies the heart of Ouachita Parish—we love to have fun!

Sample the Wine

From classics like Chardonnay and Merlot to unique flavors like Peach Muscadine and Redneck Red, they have several flavors for every taste. With more than 20 different wines to choose from, you are sure to find your new favorite. We recommend a wine tasting, six 1-ounce wine samples with a stemmed Landry Vineyards wine glass. Each tasting comes on a tasting board for the full winery experience.

The wine is served chilled at the concerts, but if that’s not cool enough for you, may we suggest their frozen bellinis? They’re peach flavored and mixed with a semi-sweet wine. The result is a delicious, frozen wine slush that will almost certainly be your new favorite drink.

Spend the Night

On the vineyard grounds are three adorable Grape Escape cottages, cozy one- or three-bedroom buildings with all the modern amenities. All have stunning vineyard views and are close to local restaurants and shops in Monroe and West Monroe. And bonus — each cottage stay comes with a complimentary bottle of wine and two free wine tasting staves, plus two Landry Vineyards wine glasses to commemorate your visit.
