Petits Pains is a bakery where modern, ancestral and artisanal techniques embrace each other to produce the highest quality, most delicious breads and breakfast pastries.
We use Liquid Levain, a natural fermentation process taking 12-16 hours for breads and pastries to rise. This is in contrast to yeast, an alcoholic fermentation process that speeds the rise and limits the flavor… This is what gives our products their earthy flavor and wonderful crunchy texture. We live and work by the motto “Rise to the Occasion”, which means we always strive to produce and deliver the most superior breads and breakfast pastries while maintaining and honoring our ancient tradition and savoir-faire. |

We craft our Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines with among the best grapes of California, from Russian River Valley, in Sonoma County. We age the wine in carefully selected French Oak Barrels, and create wines with Burgundy spirit and inspiration: a great elegance, from their distinct nose, enabling to anticipate the rich flavors blossoming on your palate, and a long, delicate and very nice finish. "The smooth and Velvety quality of the Chardonnay is just what it should be, without being opulent" says Sylvain Nicolas, Best Sommelier of France 2013; "This is a genuine California wine, with its generous finish, a light trace of tannin from the oak, and the lingering toasty, vanilla flavors."
