OUR JOURNEY

Our journey began when John Clendenen, impressed by the remarkable work ethic and extensive knowledge of Nicolas Cornejo, invited him to join forces and establish Clendenen Vineyard Management. Their partnership, born at Preston Farm and Winery, flourished due to Nicolas’s worth ethic, expertise, and precision. As the first employee and later co-owner, Nicolas played a pivotal role in shaping the company’s success.
