About Kivelstadt
Jordan Kivelstadt has been rethinking the way consumers drink and engage with wine for the last 15 years. He started making wine at Copain, then the Donum Estate, Vasse Felix in Margaret River, and O. Fournier in Argentina. Jordan founded Kivelstadt Cellars in 2007, with 125 cases of Syrah. In 2009 Jordan founded Free Flow Wines, and led the conversion of more than 10,000 venues across the country to install and promote wine on tap. In 2018 he installed the first dedicated wine canning line, helping spur the US canned wine movement, and founding his own canned wine brand. In 2020, leveraging his own winery Kivelstadt Cellars, Jordan founded the first WineGarten in California, to change the way consumers experience wineries. Today, Jordan runs his winery, family vineyard, and consults for multiple companies in the alcohol industry. He serves on the Board of the Derby Entrepreneurship Center at Tufts University, and on the Executive Committee of the Sonoma Mentoring Alliance. Jordan lives in Sonoma, with his wife and two children.
