Lau Nae Winery

This is a great place for girls night or date night. My bestie and I needed a night out. We arrived to a full place. They were having 2 different dirty 30 birthday party. It took a bit of maneuvering to get to the bar and then to get noticed. The servers did disappoint, our bottle of wine was opened, our pizza order placed and we headed to our table. They have about 6 different pizzas to try, and I mean different. We had the Thai Chicken pizza, they have a Garden, Meat Lovers, Alfredo and Tuscany. We found a cozy table in the corner. We did not even have to wait for our buzzers to go off. The server brought us our pizza, napkins, etc… Such service. We finished our pizza and wine. To top off a perfect evening we had two of their X & O’s martini’s. This is a must see and do.

Lau Nae is a fun place to go. This family-​owned business has been in Red Bud, Illinois for sometime and sells regional wines from Illinois to more notable domestic and imported wines. My favorite Illinois wine is the Creole Blush. It’s a semi-​sweet rose made from a very flavorful grape — Cayuga
They also offer food from appetizers to pizza. I frequently go because of family in the area, but if you make the drive down to Red Bud you’ll spend some time sampling their wines and reviewing their complete stock.
It’s a scenic drive south on Illinois Route 3 about 12 miles south of Waterloo.

This place is AMAZING. It’s well worth the drive to this middle of nowhere town.
A friend of mine recommended it and told me about their fantastic wines so we headed out and decided to get a bite to eat while we were there. I was blown away by the service, food and wine that we had while we were there.
We ended up with 2 pizzas (my husband wanted the alfredo) and I ordered the Tuscany. Tuscany — Olive Oil, Prosciutto Ham, Spinach & Fontina Cheese is what is advertised online. I believe it had mozzarella though. Either way FANTABULOUS!!!
We tried many wines but ended up walking out with these. The Redbud was my favorite. It’s a mix of two of their wines. So Yum!
Red Bud — Chambourcin/​Chancellor
American Steuben
Seyval Blanc
Sangiovese
The lady let us try several wines and when we decided on a refill on our wine she just let us finish the bottle she had opened and only charged us for the bottle versus per glass. What an awesome deal.
The place is very small and we even ate on some paper plates. With the quality that we got, I would of even ate out of the box.
I would say 5 bottles of wine and 2 pizzas? I’m totally sold and a fan!
