Family-Owned. Family-Inspired.

Being a family-owned winery profoundly influences and inspires our winemaking. It means taking risks, like growing grapes in mountain and hillside vineyards because they’ll have more character and flavor, even though it’s more difficult for both the farmer and the vine. It means hard work, integrity, a family working together, and real stewardship of the land.

With each bottle of Kendall-Jackson, we honor the family legacy and the original vision of Jess Jackson that inspires our work together every day to create some of the finest handcrafted wines in the world. Read More...

Vineyards In High Places

Over the years, we’ve learned that the vine is truly a mountain animal. Growing grapes in high-elevation vineyards may be difficult for both vintner and vine, but the grapes grown here are rich with intense character and flavors. And taste, after all, is everything.

Kendall-Jackson’s estate vineyards include thousands of acres throughout the cool California coastal regions, where our vineyards sit atop mountains, ridges, hillsides and benchlands. From these breathtak-ingly beautiful sites, our winemakers draw a rich palette of aromas and flavors to handcraft wines of exceptional depth and complexity. Read More...

A Generational Approach

The term “generational approach” may sound like a marketing slogan to some, but at Kendall-Jackson it is the core of our vision. From day one we have been a family-owned and family-run business, a distinction that is rapidly becoming a rarity in the world of wine. Our family culture is built on the time-honored principles of hard work, integrity, an uncompromising commitment to quality and long-term stewardship of the land.

We take seriously our responsibility to create a healthy future that we can all savor, and to build and operate wineries and farmlands that our grandchildren and their grandchildren will cherish for generations to come We continually search for ways to be better stewards of the land and the communities we share with our employees and neighbors.

Jess Jackson’s dream of maintaining the vitality of the land and our business for future generations lives on in the continued commitment of the Kendall-Jackson family to social and environmental responsibility. Read More...

Sustainability Defined

Sustainability means different things to different people. At its heart, though, it simply means taking actions today that reflect a concern for tomorrow, and beyond. Fostering a truly sustainable world re-quires us to start beneath the surface and grow from there, and for years we’ve worked to integrate sustainable practices into every stage of the art, and science, of winemaking.
