Profile

Originally designed as a family home, the 16,000 sq ft Ledson winery and tasting room was immediately dubbed ‘The Castle’ when it was completed. Its sweeping gothic spires and picturesque picnic area sit amidst 17 acres of rolling vineyard. These vines, and others owned by the Ledson family in neighboring California appellations, yield some of the most highly praised family-owned wines in wine country, and indeed the United States. Winemaker Steve Ledson, whose family goes back three generations in Sonoma County, left a lucrative career as a builder to found Ledson Winery. In 1993, he and his family seeded for the first vine only a crow’s flight from his great grandfather William Cunningham’s land. In 1997, Ledson Winery’s first release began a streak of critical acclaim from the elite wine press that has continued for years and to this day. Ledson Winery now produces more than 70 wines each year from their family-owned Calfornia vineyards located along the Russian River, Dry Cree

Tasting Details

The Noble tasting bar is named for Steve’s Father, Noble Ledson. Noble was everything you could ever want in a father. Warm hearted, matter of fact, hard-working, honest, and full of genuine love for his family and friends, there could not have been a better example to help mold Steve Ledson into the man that he would become. Noble brought farming back to his family, and also founded a dairy in Sonoma County that would eventually become Clover Dairy. Noble had a sincere love for the outdoors, and made sure to pass that love down to his children. Visitors that taste at the Noble tasting bar will experience Noble’s warm heart and unrivaled friendship, while enjoying some of our best wines with grand views of the castle grounds and the beautiful vineyard beyond.
