ChaLou Wines

Welcome to ChaLou Wines!

Nestled in the heart of the Orange region on Wiradjuri Country, our winery is leading the way with the very best bud-to-bottle experience.

Owners and vignerons, Nadja and Steve, have a strong connection to the land and a genuine love for viticulture.

Their love for the craft shines through in every bottle of wine, capturing the ever-changing essence of the vineyard.

At ChaLou Wines, we have three delicious labels for you to explore: ChaLou Estate, The Somm & The Winemaker, and Dreaded Friend. Each wine tells its own unique story – hint, it’s all to do with the grapes we grow.

Our mission is simple: to create wines that express a true sense of time and place. We love what we do and can’t wait to share it with you.

– Nadja + Steve

Fantastic experience. Good selection of wines to taste and quality bottles at very reasonable prices. Nadja is enthusiastic and passionate about her craft, and is a knowledgeable and warm host with some great stories about her experience in wine across Australia and the world. Thanks so much for the tips for our Bordeaux trip - we will be back to tell you all about it!

What a wonderful tasting at ChaLou. We learned heaps from Nadja as we enjoyed the variety of wines available from this boutique vineyard. It punches above its weight. Highly recommend booking for a tasting. Get in before they win any more awards, otherwise you'll have to go on a waiting list.

ChaLou wines are simply amazing! I was first introduced to this beautiful winery last year at Pinot Palooza and have been addicted to their wines since. In particular, their Pinot Noir is delicious. Definitely recommend to anyone.

We've been looking forward to tasting the current release of ChaLou wines with Steve and Nadja, who as always are wonderful hosts. A great tasting of the current vintage, loved it, these wines really do showcase the very best of Orange and the region.

A beautiful tasting room featuring a fabulous range of wines from the Orange wine region. Steve and Nadja, two young winemakers were extremely generous with their time and explanations of their wines. Do yourself a favour and become a member, you won’t regret it. Highly recommended.

The ChaLou Bud-to-bottle tour was an exceptional experience - a truly personal peek behind the curtain with Nadja, Steve (and if you're lucky, Barnacles the pup and their adorable girls) - going deep into their philosophy, methodology and practice of winemaking.

Such a beautiful afternoon in a gorgeous location with Steve (and a bit of Nadja). A family business where passion and skill result in some amazing wine - and in us buying 4 cases there and then! A must visit when in Orange.
