A few of the friendly faces behind Lester Estate Wines!

If you’ve been to our winery, you know how important family, connection, and collaboration are to every one of us.

At Lester Estate, no single voice defines our wines. Instead, we partner with a collective of passionate vintners, each bringing their own perspective to this remarkable site. A collective of individuals, coming together with a shared respect for this land and a genuine love for what we do.

We truly cherish the connections we build with our guests and are grateful to be guiding your voyage of discovery, one glass at a time. 🍷

Not everyone here is new… but it might be time for a reintroduction.

Behind every bottle at Lester Estate, there’s more than wine. There’s a story that started with a simple idea: what if we did this together?

What began as a personal family project slowly grew into something more. Over time, it became a shared passion built on strong ties to the wine community, learning from each other, and a commitment to doing things right.

Today, that same spirit is still at the heart of everything we do.

From estate-grown Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Chardonnay shaped by the coastal Santa Cruz Mountains, to the experience of visiting the ranch itself, surrounded by redwoods, rolling hills, and a quiet that makes you want to stay a little longer.

It has never been just about wine.

It is about community.
It is about gathering.
It is about creating something meaningful and inviting you to be part of it.

Whether you have been with us for years or you are just discovering us now, welcome. 🍷
