Southeast Louisiana’s premiere vineyard and winery, Pontchartrain Vineyards, has been purchased by Neil Gernon and Monica Bourgeois of Wild Bush Farm + Vineyard. Monica and Neil have extensive history in the Louisiana wine market, dating back to their starts within the New Orleans restaurant arena, before moving on to retail wine management, then wine distribution, before starting their first wine company out of California, Vending Machine Wines.

Located in beautiful Bush, Louisisna, Pontchartrain Vineyards built a history of crafting wines from their vineyard and from grapes sourced from California. Unfortunately, nature was not kind to the vines. Join Neil and Monica on their journey as they replant the vineyard and attempt to create an ecosystem built on the foundation that wine can be an experience beyond fermented grapes.
