I visited several vineyards in Napa and Sonoma on this trip and thoroughly enjoyed this one. Maybe it was the beautiful architecture of the building and grounds, or the amazing brick oven pizza that we enjoyed for lunch...or maybe it was the gelato that proved to be the perfect sweet treat to round out our meal. It could have been the perfect Prosecco that kicked off our tasting (which I purchased) or the subsequent selection of 4 additional wines (2 of which I purchased). Whatever it was, it was perfect and was an awesome way to cap my trip. Oh...I also joined the VJB wine club...so there!

The B. Wise Tasting Lounge is located in the heart of Kenwood, just fifteen minutes from downtown Sonoma and ten minutes from Santa Rosa. Walk-in guests are welcome to enjoy a full range of B. Wise current release wines. By-appointment tastings for groups of six to twelve people are available in our private back room. B. Wise is a wine project founded by proprietor Brion Wise that brings together the best that Sonoma and Napa vineyards have to offer. As part of that, we sought winemaking expertise that would allow us to take the best advantage of extraordinary vineyard sites.

My husband and I visited the Kunde Winery today and did the mountaintop tasting, and it was wonderful! The view is unbeatable!! Our tour guide, Wade, was very hospitable, knowledgable, and fun, as well! We fell in love with the Red Dirt Red variety and left with a bottle. We would have joined the Wine Club if Kentucky, the bourbon capital, didn't have such strict rules on shipping outside alcohol in. We loved everything about our trip. This place is a MUST SEE!

So accommodating! You’d be surprised at how difficult some wineries can be. Can’t buy a bottle. Not allow kids or pets. Only wine tastings. No place to sit and relax. Not Landmark! Great wine and they allow you to sit, enjoy a bottle, with or without a formal wine tasting, bring in kids and pets. Can’t wait to go back!

Through a friend of a friend, we were invited to a special wine tasting. Our host, Ken, was friendly and very informative. He listened to the three of us and was successfully able to select the perfect wines for each of us. The Ledson wines are wonderful. He also gave us a short tour of the magnificent facility which was very interesting. The family pictures are great. Thank you to Ledson Winery for a great tasting and tour.
