Hibou is a boutique winemaker label and passion project from Jason and Hilary Driscoll, built upon the concept of the “hidden gems of the North Coast.” Those “gems” are the carefully farmed sites behind Hibou’s vineyard-designate wines, as well as the North Coast owls that inspired the name of the label. The “hidden gem” concept has grown to encompass more, however, as Hibou wines are themselves undiscovered treasures.
