John Lasseter, longtime creative director of Pixar and Disney Animation, and his wife Nancy founded the estate just outside Glen Ellen, overlooking Sonoma Valley. Two estate sites: a 35-acre home vineyard and high-elevation Trinity Ridge atop Moon Mountain. Rhône and Bordeaux varietals plus an old-vine Zinfandel field blend.
John Lasseter — longtime creative director of Pixar and Disney Animation — and his wife Nancy founded Lasseter Family Winery in Glen Ellen with a vision rooted in biodynamic farming and the Rhône varieties of southern France. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Counoise are farmed biodynamically on volcanic Moon Mountain soils and crafted by winemaker Jenne Lee Bonaccorsi into wines of aromatic precision and Provençal elegance. The winery also produces one of Sonoma's finest Rosés. A rare estate where creative ambition and agricultural seriousness are genuinely in balance.
Chemin de Fer, Sonoma Valley — A juicy southern-Rhône-style red blend (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre) with a spice-box character; the estate's flagship red.
Enjoué Rosé, Sonoma Valley — A dry, salmon-pink Provençal-style rosé of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre; crisp, mouth-filling, with orange-zest brightness.
Paysage, Sonoma Valley — A Merlot-based Bordeaux blend (with Cabernet, Malbec and Cabernet Franc); supple and savory with ripe plum and pure berry fruit.
Amoureux, Sonoma Valley — A Malbec-based blend with graphite and wild-raspberry aromatics; one of the estate's most distinctive bottlings.
Zut Alors, Sonoma Valley — A bright, crisp estate Sauvignon Blanc with Sémillon, in a fresh Bordeaux-white style.
Founded in 2000 by John Lasseter (the Pixar and Disney animation director) and his wife Nancy, Lasseter Family Winery farms organically in Glen Ellen, drawing on a home vineyard and the high-elevation Trinity Ridge site on Moon Mountain. The wines are Bordeaux- and Rhône-inspired, with proprietary names and commissioned-art labels, alongside a century-old Zinfandel field blend.
The Lasseter property sits just outside Glen Ellen — a tucked-away estate with a shaded, open-air patio overlooking the home vineyards, Sonoma Valley stretching below. John and Nancy Lasseter (yes, the Pixar animator) moved to Sonoma in 1993 and began producing wines in 2002 under the guidance of winemaker Julia Iantosca. The program draws from two estate sites: the 35-acre home vineyard in Sonoma Valley and the rugged, rocky, high-elevation Trinity Ridge vineyard atop Moon Mountain, where single-varietal wines of real structure are produced. Rhône and Bordeaux varietals lead the lineup, plus an old-vine Zinfandel field blend with rare supporting varieties. All farming is organic. Tastings daily by appointment 10am onward — current release and library flights on the patio, or private Cellar Tour, Estate Vineyard Tour, Patio Tasting, and Cabernet Sauvignon Immersion experiences available.
Danielle Langlois is the winemaker at Lasseter Family Winery, the Glen Ellen estate founded in 2000 by Pixar director John Lasseter and his wife Nancy on a historic property first planted by a French winemaker in 1894. Drawn to wine from a chemistry background, she came up through harvests at Kamen and Mark Herold Wines alongside organic-farming figure Phil Coturri, who recommended her to the Lasseters. She crafts Rhône- and Bordeaux-inspired white, rosé, and red blends plus a century-old Zinfandel field blend and high-elevation single varietals from the organically farmed Glen Ellen and Moon Mountain District estate vineyards, with original commissioned artwork on every label.
John and Nancy Lasseter founded their family winery in Glen Ellen, bringing a storyteller’s eye to Sonoma Valley wine. John, the Academy Award–winning animation pioneer, and Nancy, a longtime advocate for sustainable agriculture, planted their Justi Creek estate to Bordeaux and Rhône varieties and farm it organically and biodynamically. Their wines carry narrative names and hand-illustrated labels that reflect the couple’s love of craft and story. With five sons, the Lasseters have made the winery a true family endeavor, rooted in the rolling hills between Sonoma Mountain and the Mayacamas.
