Ledson Winery & Vineyards

This family winery is located in the heart of Sonoma Valley, a short one hour drive north of San Francisco. Emerging like a gothic blast from the past out of acres of rolling vineyards and pastoral calm, the 16,000 square foot French Normandy winery is known as "The Castle" around the world. Originally designed as Steve Ledson’s family home, the contractor and designer in him got carried away and it quickly became clear that the architectural showpiece was much better suited as their planned winery.

Ledson specializes in small varietal lots that reflect the genuine diversity of their select vineyards and appellations. Ledson wines are sold exclusively at the winery in Kenwood, online, and at the Ledson Hotel in Sonoma. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Public Tasting: $20-$30 plus tax. Tasting fees are waived for Wine Club members. For groups with more than 6 people a reservation is required.

Private Wine Tasting: $50 plus tax. Our private wine tastings are conducted by one of our knowledgeable wine consultants personally trained and mentored by Steve Ledson. The tastings take place in one of our six private suites or, as weather permits, outside on the veranda overlooking the vineyard or in the Oak Grove.
