La Vie Dansante

A family-owned winery set in the rolling foothills of Gilroy, CA. We create wines of elegance and finesse from locally-grown Rhone varietals.

La Vie Dansante is a boutique winery crafting wines of elegance and finesse from locally-grown Rhone varietals such as Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Roussanne, and Viognier.

To ensure we have something for every palate we’ve stared a second label – LVD Wine Company – under which we create Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and other California favorites.

Our wines are truly hand-crafted - if you find a fingerprint on the bottle it likely belongs to the winemaker!
