Known as the "Ledson Castle" by the locals, the Ledson Winery is not only a valley landmark but a dream realized for third and fourth generation Sonoma Valley farmers, the Ledsons. It is a remarkable vision as you drive along Highway 12, just 15 minutes north of the town of Sonoma. It emerges like a gothic blast from the past out of acres of rolling vineyard and pastoral calm. Wine aficionados will delight in tasting Ledson Winery's award-winning wines which are sold exclusively at the winery. Garden and flower lovers will also be delighted with the manicured grounds.
