ABOUT LEDSON WINERY & VINEYARDS

The Ledson Winery castle was originally intended to be Steve Ledson’s dad’s home, but was converted into the winery’s tasting room. After being poured Ledson’s ’95 Estate Merlot, initial guests asked if there was a wine club they could join. Today, contrary to most wineries, Ledson sells 100% of their wines direct to customers – no middlemen, no brokers – for a thriving wine club. Typically, wineries consider this type of “hand selling” too time consuming and resource intensive, but for Steve Ledson, it’s the personal interaction and feedback that energizes him. He thrives on the enthusiasm his customers have for wine, both his and others, and enjoys creating the opportunities–whether winery events or informal get-togethers–to hear back from his customers. For a small town boy who came of age in an era when your customers were your friends, it’s simply the only way Steve can imagine doing business.
