Winemaker Profile
Jon Alexander-Hills is a native of California, growing up in La Crescenta, Southern California. Jon's love of nature developed through camping trips he took with his family and later deepened through his Boy Scout activities. Jon hikes, skis, and spends time in National Parks, when ever he can.
Jon graduated from high school a year early in 1975 and went on to the University of California, Davis to study botany, food science and enology. He graduated from UC Davis with two masters degrees in 1982, a Masters in Food Science, specialty in Enology, as well as a Masters in Plant Physiology. Throughout his school years he worked as cellar worker at Mondavi Winery so he could learn how wine was really made, not just what they taught in the University.
Following graduation, Jon has been working in well known wineries and with well known brands Santa Barbara to Napa Valley.
