 Jordan Vineyard & Winery was founded in 1972 by Tom and Sally Jordan, who first purchased land in 1972 with the dream of planting a vineyard.The Jordan chateau, which overlooks nearly 1,200 acres of hills and vineyards with three quarters of the land dedicated to natural habitat, was designed by the architecture firm Backen, Arrigoni & Ross and was completed in 1976 just before the first vintage of Jordan was harvested.Jordan's winemaker Rob Davis is considered the longest-tenured winemaker in Sonoma County, working at Jordan from 1976 until his retirement in 2019.
