Our Story

Somerset Vineyard & Winery grew from a simple idea shared by a group of lifelong friends: create a place where people can slow down, enjoy good company, and celebrate life’s moments—big and small. For Kurt and Nesreen Tiedt, Kim Scott, and their close circle of friends, the dream came from the heart—a desire to build a place rooted in friendship, laughter, and the joy of gathering together with a great glass of wine.

 

The winery also carries the spirit of a beloved childhood friend who passed away just before the dream became reality. His love for life and for bringing people together continues to inspire everything we do at Somerset, reminding us that every gathering is something to be cherished. The name “Somerset” pays tribute to the hometown of Placentia—a place filled with neighborhood parties, backyard games, family potlucks, and endless celebrations. Today, that same welcoming, hometown spirit lives on in every corner of Somerset Vineyard & Winery.

 

Somerset is more than a vineyard—it’s a place to connect. It’s where new friendships are made, where milestones are toasted, and where every visit feels like coming home. We invite you to relax with our award winning wines, make memories, and share in the warmth and joy that inspired Somerset from the very beginning.
