ChaLou Wines
Bud to bottle winery in Orange NSW
Nestled in the heart of the Orange region on Wiradjuri Country, our award-winning winery offers a genuine bud-to-bottle experience.
Owners and vignerons Nadja and Steve share a deep connection to the land and a passion for viticulture. Their love for the craft shines through in every bottle, capturing the ever-changing character of the vineyard and each growing season.
From vibrant whites and elegant Pinot Noir to more experimental small-batch releases, every wine tells a story of season, site and time.
Our mission is simple: to create wines that express a true sense of place.
We love what we do and can’t wait to share it with you.
Nadja + Steve
“Day in the life”
On March 14th 2025, we captured a glimpse into the rhythm of vintage at ChaLou Wines, filming a “day in the life” on our vineyard. At the heart of what we do is connection—we’re deeply passionate about sharing our craft and the story behind every wine bottle.

Nadja and Steve are very knowledgeable and a nice young couple who make some very good wines. When you’re in Orange make sure you pop in for a tasting and a chat.
Irene
My husband & I had a delightful time wine tasting with our host Steve. The Tasting Room has a beautiful view over the vineyard & out to the horizon. Steve was easy to talk to & made us feel very welcome & comfortable. The wine tasting was beautifully curated, showcasing elegant cool-climate varieties with their own skills to enhance the wines.
Overall it was a memorable experience & great way to start our 2 nights in Orange.

This was my second visit to ChaLou and I will continue to go back when I’m in Orange. Booking the tasting for a Sunday afternoon was easy and the new parking is a real win. I am a white wine fan and I could not fault one – I even enjoyed the Lou Skinny and skin contact is not my jam. Steve is the ultimate host and the whole experience is enhanced because you are talking to the actual winemaker.
Ed

Great to visit ChaLou on our trip to Orange. Nadja and Steve have built something really special. A tasting is not only an introduction to the wines, but to the philosophy and skill that they have as wine makers. Truly wonderful. Cannot wait to enjoy all we bought, and visit again.

After enjoying the delicious wines from Chalou for some time, we finally visited this gorgeous vineyard to enjoy the Chalou cellar door experience. You simply should not miss visiting Chalou when in Orange. Exquisite wine created by experts in a stunning vineyard. Love the deck views too! – Oct 2025

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. – Oct 2024
Leeann
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.
Jamie
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.
