Jordan Winery

Jordan

The Jordan estate winery was constructed in 1976. The vision for this beautiful French classic was inspired by a collection of 18th Century French chateaux. Tom Jordan came to Californian in the early 70s and quickly saw potential in the lush acres of land that was the Alexander valley. He brought the land and converted it into the Jordan estate winery and vineyards.

Jordan’s philosophy when it came to winemaking was a melding of art and nature, his instincts served him well and with the estate landscape designed to perfection a highly successful winery was born.
