Thanks to a partnership between André Pollender, David Pollender and John Baldwin, Vignoble du PicBois was born out of a desire to make home-grown wine from grape varieties that had hitherto been little cultivated on Quebec soil. Vignoble du PicBois was officially incorporated in March 2021, and that's when the real work began. They planted 11,000 plants in 2021 and another 5,500 in 2022, bringing the total to just over 17,000 plants in all. They had their first harvest this year, with wines available since March 2023.
