The name VIDON (vee-dohn) comes from "Vicki and Don", owners and founders of VIDON vineyard. It is also the name of a French law firm with international offices. Since the focus is on Burgundy’s great Pinot Noir grapes and wines, this seemed appropriate.

The Bee on our labels and capsule came about because of the old well house on the property that contained a very large hive between its studs. After our home was built in the summer of 2003, we heard much buzzing while sitting on the deck one evening. Upon looking below, we discovered that the electrician had left a hole that led to the space between floors. As they do every year, bees swarmed and set up housekeeping in our new abode. This experience resulted in many photos and a few stings and led to our use of the bee on our packaging.

Don’s vision for VIDON was shaped by two life experiences - having been born and raised on a farm and living in France on a post-graduate fellowship. As a result, he likes farming and he loves good Burgundy wines. This led to his plan to develop a small vineyard with a winery that produced premium estate Pinot Noir wines. He does most of the work himself except for the vineyard hand labor, something he’s not afraid of - there’s real pleasure in developing new skills and creating something from scratch. He believes that “it’s the journey, not the destination” that is most satisfying.
