About Ledson Winery & Vineyards
Ledson Winery & Vineyards is the most architecturally spectacular winery in Sonoma Valley and one of the most visually distinctive estate buildings in all of California wine country. Steve Ledson, a fifth-generation builder whose family has been constructing in Sonoma County for over a century, spent years personally building the 16,000 square-foot French Normandy château that sits on Highway 12 in Kenwood, earning it the nickname 'The Wine Castle of Sonoma Valley' and making it one of the most photographed winery buildings in the state.
The castle houses a tasting room and marketplace that are open every day of the year and offer the broadest varietal selection of any winery in Sonoma Valley, Ledson produces more than 50 different wines from estate and sourced vineyards across Sonoma, Napa, and Mendocino. The philosophy is unabashedly abundance-driven: something for every palate, every occasion, and every budget, in a setting that makes every visit feel genuinely special.
The Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers specifically highlights Ledson as a 'unique experience at Ledson Winery, known as the Wine Castle of Sonoma Valley', open daily, with reservations available for guided tastings and the estate grounds available for picnicking.
