OUR STORY

The Keller story is carried forward through generations, blending family tradition, creativity, a love for food and wine, and a lasting connection to Mexico and Sonoma.
From bold flavors and shared meals to Spanish wine names and warm hospitality, Mexican culture continues to shape the Keller Estate experience.
THE VINEYARDS
La Cruz and El Coro reflect two distinct sides of Keller Estate, shaped by different elevations, soils, and exposures within the Petaluma Gap.
500 FT · ADOBE CLAY · PETALUMA GAP
La Cruz is the foundation of Keller Estate, where the family first planted Chardonnay in 1989. Located on the lower hills near the Petaluma River, the site is shaped by cool fog, afternoon winds, and calcium-rich clay soils.
1,100 FT · SANDY LOAM + ADOBE CLAY · PINOT NOIR
El Coro crowns the estate’s highest ridge and is planted to nine clones of Pinot Noir. Its elevation and exposure create a distinct expression of the Petaluma Gap.
