Lester Estate Wines

Lester Estate Wines is situated on a 210-acre ranch in the Santa Cruz Mountain AVA, nestled between the Santa Cruz Mountains and Monterey Bay. Founded by Dan and Pat Lester in 1998, the winery has gained recognition for its collaborative approach to winemaking, partnering with acclaimed vintners to showcase the terroir of a single vineyard through distinctive expressions of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah. The estate's focus on ultra-sensitive farming practices allows for outstanding terroir-driven wines that reflect the unique characteristics of their Santa Cruz Mountain location. Visitors can experience an elevated tasting experience in the Tasting Barn or amidst the peaceful surroundings of the estate, with opportunities to picnic, play lawn games, and enjoy stunning views. With a rich history dating back to the 1700s, when Spanish missionaries first planted grapes in the region, Lester Estate Wines is part of a storied tradition that has seen pioneers like Paul Masson earn recognition as "The Champagne King of California." Today, the winery invites visitors to join them on a journey through flavor, place, and craft.
