Mark and Jan Chandler are well known as one of “the power couples of Lodi wine.” Mark played a pivotal role in Lodi’s rise to a premium wine destination as Executive Director of the Lodi Winegrape Commission and has earned many accolades from his decades of leadership in the CA wine industry. He is currently Chief Judge at the California State Fair Wine Competition and was recently elected to his third term as Mayor of Lodi. Jan is a third-generation Lodi viticulturist and owner of San Joaquin Sulphur Company, Lodi’s premier boutique agricultural supplier that has been owned by the Burlington family and served local vineyardists since 1957.

Jan and Mark currently farm 120 acres of winegrapes in the Lodi appellation and have made wines from their vineyards for family and friends for the last twenty years. Met with a consistently positive market response, they decided to launch Burlington Chandler Wine in 2017. Jan and Mark’s two adult children, Dave and Laura, are also active in the vineyards and winery. Together, they are now producing award-winning wines under the Burlington Chandler label.
