Jordan WineryJordan WineryWhile vacationing in Tuscany in the mid-1990s, the Jordans fell in love with the European landscape—where olive trees are grown on rolling hills that neighbor grapevines. The climate and topography were reminiscent of Jordan Estate, yet our land had no grapevines or olives at the time. An agricultural shift soon occurred, and olive oil production has been a tradition at Jordan since the first vintage of Jordan Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil in 1997.
About 16 hillside acres of European olive tree varieties have been planted to make our elegant California olive oil, including Frantoio, Pendolino and Leccino from Italy, and Arbequina from Spain. The Mediterranean climate of Northern California—warm, sunny days and cool, crisp nights—make Sonoma an ideal region for olives, not to mention a variety of other fruits and vegetables, such as grapes, of course.
