🍇 About Hartford Family Winery and Tiaan Lordan
Nestled in the heart of Sonoma, California, Hartford Family Winery is celebrated for its small-lot, high-quality wines that express the character and complexity of their vineyard origins. Known for crafting exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Syrah, and Chenin Blanc, the winery’s dedication to excellence has earned it a revered place in the wine community.
At the helm of this legacy is Winemaker Tiaan Lordan, whose journey into winemaking is as inspiring as the wines he creates. Originally from South Africa, Tiaan’s passion for nature led him to pursue a degree in Conservation Ecology at the University of Stellenbosch. However, it was the allure of vineyards and cellars that truly captured his heart. After gaining valuable experience across both hemispheres, including harvests in South Africa and California, Tiaan advanced his expertise at the Elsenburg Agricultural College, specializing in Viticulture and Enology.
Since joining Hartford Family Winery in 2010, Tiaan has mastered the craft of transforming exceptional grapes into wines that tell a story of place and passion. His meticulous attention to detail—from vineyard selection to bottling—ensures that every sip reflects the unique terroir of Russian River Valley and beyond. Tiaan’s ability to balance tradition with innovation has been instrumental in producing award-winning wines that are both expressive and memorable.
