🍷 L'Ecole No. 41

L'Ecole No. 41 is a winery in Lowden, Washington, in the Walla Walla River valley. The winery building was constructed as a schoolhouse in 1915. After the school was closed in 1974, banker and economist Baker Ferguson and his wife Jean purchased the building and opened it as a winery in 1983, making it the third commercial winery in the Walla Walla Valley. L'Ecole produces wines from both the Columbia Valley and Walla Walla Valley American Viticultural Areas, including cabernet sauvignon, merlot, sémillon, and syrah.
