The Leras Family

The Leras family’s connection to Sonoma County dates back to 1918, when Peter Leras, originally from Greece, purchased property in the region. Peter operated a farm on Woolsey Road in Santa Rosa, California, not far from where the family continues to farm today. This rich generational legacy is carried on by Leras Family Vineyards, sustainably farmed and managed by Nick Leras, a third-generation grape grower in the Russian River Valley. The family currently cultivates 60 acres of winegrapes, producing Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. In recognition of his commitment to sustainable farming, Nick Leras was honored with the Sustainable Farmer Award at the 2022 Sonoma County Harvest Fair.
