ohn Alan is a boutique winery specializing in Rhone and Bordeaux varietals. Our terroir is ideal for our varietal portfolio. Utilizing state-of-the-art new world technology integrated with old world style, our wine is expressive, balanced and incredibly complex. The images of our labels, elements of centuries old European architecture, portray our connection to the history of wine making. VINEYARD LOCATION

The vineyard is located south of Paso Robles, in Templeton, California. The Templeton Bench viticulture region is known to produce exceptional Bordeaux varietals due to the hot summer days and very cool nights.
The Fords are known for their love of family, friends, travel and wine. John and his wife Kimiko have traveled extensively throughout California, favoring intimate bed and breakfast inns while exploring the local wines. A degree in geology and John's love of science and soil became the foundation for his desire to learn about the history and
technology of wine making. As John and Kimiko's love of wine grew, they shared it with family and friends who became regulars on wine excursions to Northern and
Central California.
By the early 1980's John and Kimiko began dreaming of their own estate winery destination with an elegant, Tuscan style bed and breakfast inn. John's brothers, Steve and Lance, grew to share the dream. The Central Coast's beautiful landscapes were home to a rapidly growing wine region that captured the brothers' hearts.
Seven different Rhone and Bordeaux red varietals matched with four different root stocks were identified as the best fit for the soil types located on the estate. Industry experts were then given the task of designing a truly state-of-the-art vineyard.
In 1999 the Ford brothers purchased a piece of property in Templeton, California which was destined to become Moss Lane Estates and John Alan Winery. This 24 acre parcel is currently home to an 11 acre vineyard and a beautiful cut flower garden.
