photography not drinking poison

Katie Worobeck came to the Jura from Ontario in 2017, looking for a place to learn winemaking. She found her way to Domaine Ganevat, where she spent five years working with Anne and Jean-François Ganevat. In 2019, she began Maison Maenad with two barrels of red wine made in the cellar of her home. The following year, she started working with Chardonnay from Les Varrons. Tutto Wines

The name brings together two ideas Katie cares about: maison, a home where people gather, and the Maenads, the wild women in the stories of Dionysus. Her own wines and vineyards follow that independent spirit. She now farms old vines at Au Carré, a forest-surrounded site near Grusse, with a focus on soil health and biodiversity. In the cellar, she works by hand and with a light touch, aiming to let the grapes, vintage and place speak for themselves.
