Who is Presqu'ile Wines?
"Four generations of our family have been farming land in Arkansas
and Louisiana for nearly a century. A love of the land, combined
with a shared reverence for great wine and a desire to create something
meaningful and enduring, led us to establish Presqu'ile.
In 2007, we undertook extensive research to find the best land possible suited to growing Pinot Noir. We settled on Santa Maria Valley, where we acquired 200 acres to establish Presqu’ile Winery. The Name? Presqu’ile (‘press-keel’) French/Creole meaning peninsula, or literally translated, “ Almost an Island,” was a beloved family gathering place on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It was a place that engendered conviviality among family and friends, evoking the warmth of the human spirit and a rapport among all who “passed a good time” there.
In August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall ending an era.
We named our winery in honor of that place and a way of life."
