Located in the heart of Sonoma Valley, a short one hour drive north of San Francisco, Ledson is like a gothic blast from the ... past out of acres of rolling vineyards and pastoral calm, our 16,000 square foot French Normandy winery is known as "The Castle" around the world. Originally designed as a family home, the contractor and designer in Steve Ledson got carried away and it quickly became clear that the architectural showpiece was much better suited to house a winery. Steve Ledson consistently produces highly coveted, small-lot, handcrafted wines from his estate vineyards, growing some of the most sought-after grapes in the wine country. Most recently, fourteen of Ledson’s wines have scored between 95 and 99 points; three of them have achieved recognition as ‘Wine of the Year’ at prestigious international wine competitions. Ledson is known for showcasing absolutely some of the best that Sonoma County has to offer. Wines are sold exclusively at the winery in Kenwood, in our online store, and at the Ledson Hotel in Sonoma. read more
