About Lagniappe Wines
Lagniappe Wines is a small, personality-driven natural-wine label based in the Columbia River Gorge, the dramatic river-carved region straddling the Oregon-Washington border east of Portland. The name is the Louisiana word for a little something extra, a nod to winemaker Lizzy Hrap's roots - which also explain the alligator that turns up on her labels.
The focus is on low-intervention, low-alcohol, high-refreshment wines, especially sparkling styles. Lagniappe has drawn critical praise for bottlings like its Fizzy Lizzy petillant naturel sparkling Chardonnay and its Seersucker Sauvignon Blanc, with fruit sourced from Columbia Gorge and Willamette Valley vineyards and reviews from publications such as Wine Enthusiast.
Lagniappe operates as a small, mailing-list-driven label rather than a traditional walk-in winery, releasing limited-edition wines and hosting occasional open-house and pop-up events. Anyone interested in the wines is best served by joining the mailing list or watching for events, and by confirming any visit directly, as there is no standard daily tasting room.
