Keller Wineries

Ana Keller, Estate Director of Keller wines, was born in Mexico City, where her love for plants drove her to study biochemistry. In the '80s, the family relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area and eventually purchased land in Petaluma. True pioneers to the region, the Keller family planted a first Chardonnay vineyard in 1989, a was a perfect fit for Ana's love: making wine became a second love. With family on both sides of the border, traditions and an understanding of ways to bring the best of both cultures is always on her mind.

The diversity of Keller wines comes from years of vineyard exploration, a careful understanding of the grapes, and respect for the essence of their fruit. Their sustainably certified vineyard incorporates practices derived from organics and regenerative farming that the team has learned over the years. These practices include bee-keeping, owl and bat boxes, a flock of over 200 sheep that graze and fertilize the land, and careful manage- ment of the pond system that ensures their water supply.

For the genuine wine enthusiast Keller Estate is the elegant and picturesque family winery that prides itself in exceptional hand-crafted wines. Our drive: sophistication and luxury for life’s special moments.

An Estate in the Petaluma Gap AVA, Keller wines are defined in part by the cooling maritime breezes which bring in fog almost every night. It is this cooling "wind tunnel" effect that distinguishes the Petaluma Gap from their neighboring wine growing areas. The impact of the wind results in lower yields and grapes that reach physiological ripeness much later and at lower sugar levels while developing intense flavors with ideal levels of acidity.
