About Gagnon-Kennedy

In October of 2015, Michael Kennedy was on a visit to Napa Valley from the Cayman Islands. He spent the afternoon visiting Bryant Family Vineyard on Pritchard Hill with the winemaker, Marc Gagnon. The two hit it off, spending hours talking about rocks, vines, and a million other topics. When Gagnon left Bryant Estate, Kennedy asked Gagnon what was next over a dinner with friends at a Napa restaurant. A week or so later, Kennedy and Gagnon started talking about doing something together. The goal— explore the vineyards that stood out as prime to the earliest settlers of Napa Valley, express them uniquely and purely, and provide an experience in the valley unlike any other.
