While the M2 has been instrumen- tal in his business travels, Jordan also utilizes it for leisure and other purposes, including carrying friends and family. His mother, Sally, is a common passenger and often f lies on the aircraft to visit the winery she and her husband designed from
scratch. Being a driving force for the original vineyard dining room and longtime advocate for visitor expe- rience, they flew to see the dining room after its remodel in early 2021. Her enthusiastic blessing was the final touch prior to guests enjoying the redesigned space.
Other common passengers on Jordan’s M2 are rescue and service dogs. Over the years, he has f lown for several organizations
Jordan Vineyard & Winery
as a volunteer pilot, like Wings of Rescue and Canine Companions. A recent trip took Jordan from STS (Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport) to APA (Centennial) with two Labrador Retrievers in tow. These puppies were being transported to their new homes in the Denver area. There, they started their 18-month service dog training with Canine Companions’ volunteer puppy raisers.
Jordan’s own rescue Labradors can be seen roaming the winery grounds with his home and airstrip (for the Maule) located adjacent to the property. Other animals, such as chickens, also reside at the winery. The farm and gardens onsite are relied upon heavily as sources for the freshly prepared dishes that are artfully paired with Jordan wines at special dinners.
Jordan himself is a regular attendee of these events. He is proud to showcase his family heritage and fulfill their mission to bring great wine, food and hospitality to others.
