Frank Monteau
Franck Monteau was born and raised in a rural environment, and subsequently looked for a job that would allow him to stay in this same environment. This is why he continued his studies (BTS) in the forestry sector and, in 1996 , quite naturally joined a cooperage, a mixture of nature and production craftsmanship . The creation of Tonnellerie Orion is the logical continuation of his career.
Weekends are often spent on the edges of a rugby or tennis court watching his sons Louis and Martin play their matches, without forgetting the sharing with his friends and his family of convivial meals accompanied by good wines.

Bayard Fox
Bayard Fox grew up in the world of wine . He remembers his young age, and family meals always accompanied by wine.
He worked his first harvest in the south of France in 1980 , and ten years later arrived in Napa to broaden his knowledge , and eventually create his own wine, Renard, with the help of his wife, a graphic designer.

Apart from barrels and wine, Bayard likes to conquer some of the high peaks in the west of his country: Mt. Shasta, Mt. Rainer and others. He enjoys skiing and sometimes goes for runs with his dog in the hills of Napa.
