OUR VINEYARDS AND WINERY: EXPLORE OUR CAVES

The wine at Domaine Lois Louise will be made in three caves, each 30 feet wide, 30 feet high and 300 feet deep. The caves were dug four feet at a time, and then immediately reinforced with shotcrete to prevent cave-ins. That approach did not work—we had two cave-ins in the center cave that vented all the way to the surface, tearing 30-foot diameter holes in the vineyard.
