Our Team
Trois Noix began as a collaboration with amazingly talented friends who happened to be fabulous winemakers and grape growers, with the goal of making fresh and precise wines of time and place. Standing on that foundation today, we are a bridge between “Established Napa” and “Next Napa,” holding onto that sense of place while inviting as many people as we can to revel with us in our shared love of wine.

Jaime Araujo, Vintner, founder & winemaker
Jaime’s family has been making world-class wines in Napa Valley for over 25 years and for most of those years, Jaime was actually living abroad in Europe (if you want to know all the juicy details, make sure to ask her when you meet!)
Upon returning to Napa Valley to become a vintner, Jaime wanted to create a wine that would reflect her personal journey, and what she loved most about wine: the people and the sense of community. The name “Trois Noix,” which means “Three Nuts,” is an homage to our founder’s love of France and her commitment to using wine as a catalyst for social change.
As of January of 2026, not only is Jaime the founder and proprietor of Trois Noix, but she is also the winemaker!
