Lancaster Estate is one of Alexander Valley's most prestigious and visually impressive wine estates. The 100-acre property on Chalk Hill Road combines dramatic views of the Alexander Valley and coastal hills with a luxury cave system and an agricultural estate that produces some of the finest single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon in Sonoma County.
Founded in 1995, Lancaster produces estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc from their Alexander Valley hillside vineyards with a focus on wines that rival Napa Valley's finest for depth and aging potential. The estate cave system — hand-carved and climate-controlled — provides one of the most dramatic barrel tasting environments in Sonoma County.
The by-appointment tasting experience is fully immersive — combining a guided tour of the estate, the caves, and the vineyards with a seated tasting of current and library releases. For visitors seeking a genuine luxury Alexander Valley estate experience that competes with Napa's finest, Lancaster is the definitive choice.
At its Chalk Hill, Sonoma County location, Lancaster Estate presents a featured lineup that includes Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Winemaker's Selection, Estate Merlot, and Red Blend. Together, these bottles provide a focused introduction to the varieties, vineyard sources, and style that define the winery's current portfolio.
