Thirsty Farmer Vineyard

With a tasting room nestled in Calhoun, Thirsty Farmer Winery creates a memorable farm to bottle experience for guests. Thirsty Farmer was created out of a passion for creating a unique, locally crafted Louisiana experience within their hometown.

The first vineyard block was planted in 2016, expanding in 2018 and 2020 with pioneering new varietals such as Caminnare’ Noir and Ambulo Blanc. Thirsty Farmer has grown from its first tasting room – a formal dining room – to an expansive venue with an added private room for rent.”The Rays’ first tasting room was in their personal formal dining room.

With an atmosphere filled with live music and delicious wines, Thirsty Farmer crafts wines for every palate—from fruit-forward wines to bold reds and even hard cider. The winery offers tastings, bottles and flights of wines and ciders. Every Saturday, guests can enjoy live music and delicious bites, including charcuterie and flatbreads to pair with their Thirsty Farmer wine.
