About Us
For over 30 years, Chateau LaFayette Reneau has produced estate-grown vinifera wines. Our 110-acre estate provides optimal sun exposure and air flow for consistently aromatic white wines and rich, full-bodied red wines. An award winning winery, we are home to three highly acclaimed Governor's Cup Awards and five Jefferson Cups. Our commitment to quality and integrity in grape growing and winemaking results in the finest Finger Lakes wines.
The Chateau LaFayette Reneau tasting room is situated in a fully-restored, century old barn nestled on the southeast side of Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes. The stony shale soil and rolling slopes of Seneca Lake--the deepest of the glacier-cut Finger Lakes--are ideally suited for growing cool-climate grapes.
