Château Élan Winery and Resort

The Win­ery was opened in 1984 by Don and Nancy Panoz and cur­rently sits among acres of vine­yards. The Win­ery also hosts two din­ing estab­lish­ments: the ele­gant French Le Closrestau­rant and the relaxed Mediter­ranean style bistro, Café Élan. Upon enter­ing the Win­ery you will first dis­cover the Wine Mar­ket, which fea­tures Château Élan wines along with a wide vari­ety of wine-​related and culi­nary gift items. The Win­ery also hosts The Viking Culi­nary Stu­dio, which offers week­end cook­ing classes and Sat­ur­day 3 p.m. cook­ing demonstrations.

All Wine Tours & Tast­ings begin in the Wine Mar­ket. You may also have a Cus­tom Wine Label cre­ated to com­mem­o­rate your visit. The Art Gallery is also located in the Win­ery on the 2nd floor.
