    Prejean, a surname of French origin, is the founding family's name. Prejean Winery was founded by James and Elizabeth (Jim & Libby) Prejean. Jim Prejean was born in Carencro, Louisiana which is part of the French-speaking area of Louisiana. Prejean is a French Cajun name that is most common in southwest Louisiana, but more unusual elsewhere in the United States. Prejean Winery currently has approximately 30 acres of active vineyards in which we grow thirteen varieties of grapes. Vinifera grown include Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Hybrid varieties grown include Traminette, Vignoles, Cayuga, Valvin Muscat, Marechal Foch, Noiret and Corot Noir. All Prejean Wines are estate grown and produced.

    Cane & VIne Wine Cellars Mike and Jayne Gibbs, a husband-and-wife team, opened Can & Vine Wine Cellars in 2025, expanding their portfolio alongside Toast Winery on the south end of Seneca Lake. One wine Mike is particularly excited about is his bone-dry Cayuga White. While this varietal is often produced in a sweeter style, the 2023 vintage was so exceptional when made bone-dry that he chose to bottle it. He also enjoys crafting pétillant naturel (pét-nat) wines. Can & Vine will offer a Dry Sparkling Rosé of Marquette made in the pét-nat style.
