All the Restaurants x Bricoleur Vineyards

This summer we invited New York based artist John Donohue and his family to stay on our property to fully immerse themselves in all that is Bricoleur Vineyards. John is best known for his illustration series, All the Restaurants, launched in 2017, inspired by Jason Polan’s Every Person in New York and James Gulliver Hancock’s All the Buildings in New York.

The project involves drawing the façades of restaurants entirely from life in ink, without pencil or erasing. Since starting in New York, he has expanded the project to Paris and London, aiming to continue this work indefinitely. Previously an editor and cartoonist at The New Yorker, Donohue draws at least twice a day, combining his passion for observation with a lifelong dedication to art.

With Bricoleur Vineyards CEO & Co-Founder, Sarah Citron's ties to New York, we were so excited to invite John to capture our property in his iconic illustration style.

We had the opportunity to spend a day with John as he wandered our 40-acre estate, where he scoped out potential subjects for his illustrations and learned more about Bricoleur's sustainability practices and estate-to-plate approach to tasting experiences. John first decided to illustrate our beautiful stone pavilion structure, one with a very similar start to John's illustration of it – Elizabeth Wall, Co-Founder of Bricoleur, had originally drawn the design for the pavilion on a napkin before handing the illustration to an architect who was able to bring her dream to life. 

While exploring the property, John enjoyed illustrating details such as our old tractor, milk jug, and picnic wagons, before illustrating our iconic tasting room barn. This illustration was carefully selected to be featured on our limited edition Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine, released just in time for the holiday season. 

In partnership with John and All the Restaurants, $10 of every bottle sold is donated to The V Foundation for lifesaving cancer research and treatment as part of our evergreen Sip With Purpose campaign.
