Landry Vineyards
Founded by Jeff, Libby, and their four sons: Ethan, Kohen, Noah, and Micah, Landry Vineyards was established in 1999 in Folsom, Louisiana and shortly after in 2002 became licensed as a Louisiana Native Winery. The Landry family has since relocated to North Louisiana where their vineyard now resides along with a tasting room, cottages, and camper sites.
The family-owned vineyard quickly became a favorite among the local community. With 24 flavors including cultural fruit forward semi-sweet wines, clean crisp dry white wines, dry barrel aged wines and port style wines, you’re in for a treat! Visitors can attend wine tastings and tour the vineyard’s unforgettable views or party like a local pro at their outdoor concert series.
Each fall and spring, locals and visitors alike, head to Landry Vineyards for an afternoon of delicious wine and great live music. Bring a blanket, a friend, and enjoy wine while listening to local musicians. Don’t forget to book your stay at the Great Escape Cottages for the full experience. Did we mention Landry Vineyards produces more than 200,000 bottles of wine annually?!
