Kivelstadt Cellars was founded on our love of amazing California vineyards. After leaving a career in consulting, Jordan Kivelstadt traveled the world making wine in California, Australia, Chile, and Argentina. For his inaugural vintage in 2007, Jordan made 125 cases of Syrah from his family’s estate vineyard. He drew inspiration both from his new world experiences and for European cuisine, art, and culture. Our focus is exploring incredible California vineyards with a nod toward the rich history and balance of old-world wines. Since 2007 our production has grown to 6,000 cases annually. We are currently distributed in more than 25 states and continue breaking the mold by opening California’s first Winegarten in 2020. We strive to create wine, and food, that maintains a fun, approachable, and accessible style while challenging the status quo of California winemaking.
