Jordan Winery Healdsburg, California 1978 The Jordan Winery, constructed between 1978 and 1980, is a major winery located in the Alexander Valley, Sonoma County. The winery development includes the owners' residential suites and public reception rooms. A phasing plan allows for the addition of a country inn at some time in the future. The winery was developed as a French country estate in the traditional Bordeaux style. The landscape architectural challenge was to provide a link between the refined geometric forms of the winery structure and the oak woodland of the California hills. The spatial sequence which has been developed from the winery entrance up to the winery structure aids in making this transition. The formal grounds consist of terraces defined by clipped hedges with allees and parterres. The gardens and terraces not only serve private residential use, but also accommodate large public gatherings. In addition, the grounds serve the functional requirements of a modern winery operation. The master plan for the complex was developed to ultimately include a private residence, tennis courts, a pool, an extensive vegetable garden, and trails covering approximately 100 acres.
