Nestled in the seaside foothills of Santa Barbara County is a small family-owned winery with big ideas.

Jorian Hill Vineyards™ produces exceptional small-lot, estate-grown wines using the meticulous techniques of France's Rhône Valley and according to the best winemaking traditions of California.

Offering premium Rhône varietals including a 2007 Syrah and 2007 BEEspoke (Rhône blend), owners Gary and Jeanne Newman and their family are proud to create wines with the care, the joy and the keen focus on excellence that are the hallmarks of Jorian Hill.Jorian Hill’s winemaking program is guided by the gifted winemaking duo of Mark Crawford Horvath and Kenneth “Joey” Gummere. Together, Mark and Joey champion an artisan approach to winemaking at Jorian Hill that emphasizes the diversity of the vineyard through attentive viticulture and numerous small-lot fermentations. At the same time, they work closely with founders Jeanne and Gary Newman, and vineyard manager Jeff Frey, to realize a signature style that captures an authentic sense of place. This style highlights both the elegance and the complexity of Jorian Hill’s estate fruit.
