We’re excited to shine the spotlight on Lupe Valencia, our amazing Vineyard Director, who has been a part of Jackson Family Wines family for an incredible 25 years! Originally from Jalisco, Mexico, Lupe oversees the stunning Sonoma Coast, Bennett Valley, and Russian River vineyards, where his passion for the land and people truly stands out. Lupe loves exploring our beautiful vineyards, staying connected with his team, and helping others grow and thrive within Jackson Family Wines. When he’s not guiding the team, you’ll find him spending quality time with his family, cheering on his sons at soccer tournaments, or enjoying scenic bike rides. As for his favorite wines? Stonestreet Cabernet Sauvignon and Copain Pinot Noir—a true testament to his love for the vineyards he tends. Let’s raise a glass to Lupe and his unwavering dedication! 🍷✨

At Jackson Family Wines, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. This year, we had the privilege of participating in New York Climate Week, one of the largest events dedicated to climate action. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with other sustainability leaders, deepen our understanding, and share our story. We were especially honored to attend a special media luncheon with International Wineries for Climate Action to celebrate the past five years since we co-founded the organization with the Torres Family to drive the global wine industry toward decarbonization. Our Kendall-Jackson and Cambria wines were also served at a special event, highlighting how California agriculture plays a crucial role in climate solutions through sustainable practices and regenerative farming. Together, we’re shaping a greener future for the wine industry. 🌱🍷
