Lester Estate Wines

This past weekend, we decided to visit Lester Estate Wines. The property is beautiful, with spaces for events and parties. Following the signs to the tasting room, you enter and see a long room decorated with all kinds of different woodsy/nature themed items. The staff greeted us and led us to a nice outdoor seating area. I tried the new Pinot Noir reds and she tried a mix of sparkling and still whites. Overall, it was a pleasant time and there is plenty to see! Another good wine tasting experience in the mountains north of Aptos!

Beautiful estate winery within the Aptos hills. Perfect place to spend several hours enjoying beautiful views of the vineyards while sipping on some amazing wine. I recommend reserving a picnic table, packing a picnic, purchasing some wine and inviting some friends for a paceful and enjoyable Saturday afternoon. Cheers!!!

Great time with Ed hearing about the rich history of Lester Estates and tasting wines. Beautiful vineyard views!

Looking forward to their winery opening. Great views. Great for events.

Great spot amazing wine selection and impeccable service. Very friendly and I almost don't even want to rate this because I know all the valleys are going to come over and flood the place like they already are

Very Relaxing w/ Live Music and Family Fun!

Lester vineyards is a beautiful winery. The wines we tasted were delicious. The service was friendly and thoughtful. Highest recommend visiting this winery

Beautiful winery for outdoor event.

Visited Lester Wine for the first time and tried Flight #3 -- absolutely delicious! They're only open Saturdays from 12-5, but totally worth the visit. Eduardo was so helpful and welcoming. Can't wait to come

Went with a birthday group, they complained of us laughing, and enjoying our time. It was sucked because I talked so highly of this place and they tried dumbing down our party of 7. It was really unfortunate. Don't book if your group likes to talk and laugh "out loud."

Great atmosphere! Wonderful and knowledgeable staff make the experience great! Amazing wines by the glass or bottle.

The wine isn't amazing but the views and atmosphere are special. The staff is very nice as well. It's a nice break from the traditional wineries in NorCal - a little more secluded and is bit of a hidden gem.

Lester Estate had some ok Pinot Noir wines. There were two or three that I did prefer, such as the Mercurio Pinot and the Syrah. The tasting room was definitely unique with its taxidermy decorations. I did love the over sized wood stove to keep us warm on that cold day.

Such a beautiful winery! The wine was delicious, the views were gorgeous, the staff was friendly, what more can we ask for

Beautiful setting and the best pinot noir in the area. Wonderful ambience for tasting. Relaxing deck under the cool shade trees with a view of the vines. Doesn't get any better than this..

Without a doubt, Lester Estate Winery is most scenic winery in Pleasant Valley. The property spans 210 acres, featuring 14 acres of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah; hilltop views of the valley and bay; a perfectly manicured meadow where you'll find a cute shack and picnic tables surrounded by redwood trees and wildlife; and a tasting room filled with items collected over a lifetime by Dan Lester from all over the world. The wines are made from the areas best wine makers, such as John Benedetti and Ian Brand. The wines regularly score in the mid 90s by wine enthusiast. This place is a must see!

Great place to visit with a peaceful atmosphere and the servers are professional and you're treated with respect
