It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Gerret Copeland, our friend and the proprietor of Bouchaine Vineyards, on May 28th in his home state of Delaware.
Gerret and his wife Tatiana transformed Bouchaine into what it is today. He believed that great wine was inseparable from great stewardship of the land, and that belief shaped everything we do here in Carneros. His passion for wine, nature, art, and community touched every corner of Bouchaine.
He lived a life of remarkable generosity and purpose, from his service in the Marine Corps to his lifelong dedication to conservation, the arts, and animal welfare.
We extend our deepest condolences to Tatiana, his family and the Bouchiane team.
We know that Bouchaine will carry his legacy forward in every bottle, every season, and every guest welcomed to the estate, a place he loved. We hope you’ll join us in raising a glass to his remarkable life.
