History

Established in 2003.

John Anthony was raised in the family tradition of farming and worked hand-​in-​hand with his father learning the wine business. It was during this time he learned to enjoy the hard work, dedication, and focus required to produce world-​class grapes that yield world-​class wines.

In 1997, John Anthony Truchard began leasing and managing vineyard property, with the goal of one day producing a small quantity of high-​end wines to share with friends and family. The idea was simple:

— Pick the ideal climate and locations for the fruit

— Choose the best vine stock available

— Care and tend to each vine’s needs

— Work with the best WineMaker available

— Share the result with those who will most appreciate it

John’s wife Michele shares his passion and together in 2003 they crushed what would become their first vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. And they haven’t looked back. To today, the fruit that goes into the wines is sourced only from vineyards leased or managed by John Anthony.

John Anthony T.

Business Owner

John was raised in a grape growing family. His parents Tony and JoAnn Truchard planted their first 20 acres of grapes in Los Carneros in 1974 when John was two years old. Over the next 16 years John had the opportunity to experience all stages of vineyard development including acquisition, land preparation, planting, management and sale of the fruit.

When John finished his studies at the University of Davis his goal was to create a wine business much as his parents had done. He started a small vineyard management business named Vinewerkes in the mid 90’s and for several years focused on caring for other people’s vineyards until in 1997 when he began to lease 3 – 6 acre parcels of land and plant his own vineyards. These vineyards came into production in 2003, at which point John and his wife Michele began the John Anthony Vineyards wine brand.
