J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines in San Jose, Santa Clara County, United States | Vineyards

Welcome to J Lohr Vineyards & Wines in San Jose California, United States.   In the late 1960’s, Jerry Lohr began an extensive investigation of grape growing regions throughout California.  As a result of his farming background, he has always understood and respected the importance of soil quality, climate and location, which led him to California’s Central Coast region. In 1972 and 1973, he planted 280 acres of wine grapes in the Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey County, and in 1974 completed J Lohr Vineyards & Wines  in San Jose.  In 1988 property near Paso Robles was purchased, now encompassing 2,000 acres of Vineyards, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and other red varietals, and an adjacent winery and barrel facility was built.  Also in 1988, Jerry began expansion of his Vineyards in the Arroyo Seco, which now includes 900 acres of Chardonnay and other cool climate varietals such as Riesling Valdiguié and in recent years Pinot Noir.

By the late 1970’s, wines from J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines were distributed throughout the United States, and in the late 1980’s an international sales department was added.  Today the J. Lohr products are available throughout the United States and in more than 25 countries worldwide. The goal of J. Lohr brands is to produce varietals that can compete with the finest in the world, using a style that focuses on flavor and complexity through vineyard selection, technology and innovation. This goal has led Jerry Lohr and his team to develop three tiers of wines produced from estate Vineyards – J. Lohr Cuvée Series, J. Lohr Vineyard Series and J. Lohr Estates. In addition J.Lohr Vineyard & Wines produces three tiers of wines to meet the needs of everyday and entry-level wine consumption - Crosspoint Vineyards, Cypress Vineyards and Painter Bridge.
