The Ledson Family invites you and your dear friends to immerse yourself in the artistry of winemaking, viticulture, and true hospitality for a tasting experience one will never forget at the Ledson Castle in Sonoma County. Once slated to be the home of our owner & winemaker (vigneron) Steve Ledson, the 16,000 square foot Normandy Castle (designed and built by Steve) is situated amidst the picturesque grounds of this 15-acre estate offering panoramic views of the vineyards, fountains and beautiful mountains surrounding Sonoma Valley. Indulge in moments of pure bliss with every sip. We will unveil four distinct wine tasting experiences that represent the essence of Sonoma Valley’s wine culture and our family’s 160-year-old family tradition in producing some of the best wines in the world.
