About LaTour Vineyards

With a name like LaTour and a passion for entertaining, it was only a matter of time before renowned hotelier and restaurateur Tom LaTour decided to become a vintner. In 1990 he delved into winemaking with the purchase of a single acre of vines in St. Helena.  Experimenting for years as a ”garage” winemaker for friends and family, Tom eventually turned to professional wine production methods. In 1999, he and his wife Barbara established LaTour Vineyards with 25 acres on Mt. Veeder in the Napa Valley, where they grow chardonnay, pinot noir and syrah grapes.

The LaTours also bottle two other special wines: an Oregon Pinot Noir from Lazy River Vineyards, located in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and a Cabernet Sauvignon wine made with grapes grown at their home in St. Helena.
