CRistina ValenCia
ESTATE BAKER
They say necessity is the mother of invention, which certainly explains how Cristina Valencia
became the amazing baker that she is. A Healdsburg native, Cristina learned to bake early
to satisfy a sweet tooth she’d developed despite her mother’s reluctance to let Cristina and
her siblings eat sweets. Her passion for baking never wavered, leading Cristina to the Culinary
Institute of America where she earned a Baking and Pastry Arts Certificate in 2002. Today,
Cristina prepares all of the pastries and baked goods our overnight guests enjoy in the morning,
the gourmet picnic items for our Wine Country Lunches and homemade chocolates for one of
our newest culinary projects.

Rosie
ESTATE MASCoT
Jordan’s newest canine face, Rosie, completes our set of small, medium and large dogs. An
unknown mix resembling a tiny Labrador, Rosie was found running in the streets of Solano County
before being adopted by John Jordan in May 2011. After Pepper past away, John was happy
to find a new playmate for Bismarck (medium) and nimitz (large). With boundless energy, Rosie
is running circles around those two, so much that Bismarck has lost a lot of weight just trying to
keep up with her. Tour and tasting guests on Saturdays usually find Rosie and Bismarck sprinting
across the chateau lawns.
