J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines
Winery in Central Coast, United States
Vintage to vintage, Family, Place, and Craft are at the heart of J. Lohr’s success

Forty-seven years of direct family ownership. 1974 saw the first wine produced under a J. Lohr label. That same year, J. Lohr’s San Jose Wine Center opened. From day one, J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines has been family owned; today founder Jerry Lohr and his three children Steve, Cynthia, and Lawrence oversee one of the country’s most successful, most trusted fine wine labels.

J. Lohr wines’ sense of place results from experience and innovation in the vineyard – gained from over four decades of farming in Monterey, Paso Robles, and Napa Valley. Very few wineries on J. Lohr’s scale can boast such deep, permanent roots in these appellations, producing and bottling everything we sell. The vineyards provide the “where”; they are at the core of J. Lohr’s reputation for quality. Every vintage is a new learning experience, adding to past knowledge gained from the land. Constant viticultural research, improvement, and replanting are the norm; the vineyards of J. Lohr are living laboratories.

Owning our vineyards and wineries enables J. Lohr to produce consistently superior wines, vintage after vintage. Complete “soil to bottle” control is the key to J. Lohr’s quality and craft. This rigorous, every-step-of-the-way philosophy is echoed in the legal term “Produced and Bottled By” on J. Lohr’s back labels. J. Lohr is fortunate to have some of the industry’s best and brightest talents in every department - most have been with the winery for many years. Experience, teamwork, and a commitment to constantly improve guarantee quality in every bottle of J. Lohr.

At J. Lohr, our commitment to sustainability and the environment is informed by Founder Jerry Lohr’s seven decades of farming experience. We were early adopters of sustainable practices and helped “write the book” on codifying industry-wide methods and certifications. Today, sustainability is embraced by a passionate second generation of the Lohr family, dedicated to preserving this important aspect of the company’s legacy. Our commitment to environmental stewardship and “farming for the future” is woven into every aspect of our winery’s life.
