Maison Maenad

Jura, France

Maison Maenad is the personal project of Katie Worobeck, a Canadian-born winemaker crafting elegant, natural wines from the heart of the Jura. After years spent working alongside legends like Anne and Jean-François Ganevat, Katie settled in the village of Orbagna in the Sud-Revermont, where she now cultivates a small patchwork of organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards.

Her domaine began with a single parcel in Les Varrons and has since grown to just over three hectares, planted with classic Jura varieties: Chardonnay, Savagnin, Trousseau, Poulsard, and Pinot Noir. All work is done by hand, and the winemaking is as low-intervention as it gets—native yeasts, no additives, no filtration, and no added sulphur.

Katie’s wines are delicate yet vibrant, deeply expressive of their limestone-rich soils and cool Alpine climate. From the beautifully textured Chardonnay “De l’Avant” to the bright, mineral Trousseau “Sous l’Ombrage,” each bottle reflects her quiet precision and deep respect for the land.

With tiny production and growing international acclaim, Maison Maenad has become one of the most sought-after new names in Jura’s natural wine scene.
