“La Vie Dansante is a boutique
winery crafting wines of elegance
and finesse from locally-grown
Rhone varietals. Our wines are
truly hand-crafted - if you find a
fingerprint on the bottle it likely
belongs to me!”

Owner & Winemaker

Future Plans
As one of the new generation
of wineries in the Gilroy/
San Martin/Morgan Hill area
we are loving growing and
maturing with our new wine
friends. This summer we’ve
added a “lawn games” area and
are bringing movie nights and
music to the winery.

“Each vine of our estate vine-
yard is meticulously tended
using sustainable farming
to reflect the area’s terroir,
producing wines that are fruit
forward with restrained oak
and minimal interventions. Our
open air tasting pavilion, views
of the vineyard, tables in the
shade of umbrellas and olive
trees are perfect for a relaxing
picnic and a bottle of wine.”

Saudade. Bordeaux Style red
wine blend. Saudade is full
bodied and smooth. Inviting
aromas of Black cherry, plum,
and vanilla on the nose.
Layers of earthiness, dried
flowers, and cocoa integrate
harmoniously into a finely
balanced marriage between
tannin and acid. Finish is
long and lingering.
Future Plans
Wake up with a cup of black
coffee before dawn. Work
hard all day. Fire up the pit
and crack open a bottle in
the evening. Share with
family and friends. Do it
again but better!
