Beautiful, breezy with expansive views in the Petaluma Gap AVA. Solid and delicious wines, delightful service and a cool car collection. I took home Pinot Noirs and Chardonnay although I regret not taking some of the Rosé!

Keller estate is just gorgeous! Diane and David took such good care of us and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good, relaxing experience. Wine was also delicious. Would recommend coming during the week for an intimate, quiet experience. Would definitely come back here again.

The Keller Estate Winery is a family-owned vineyard in the Petaluma Gap region of Sonoma County, California.
As a Key Club member, I enjoyed experiencing their hand-crafted wines, which stand out for their elegance, quality, and unique character. They grow the grapes and control the winemaking process from vine to bottle.
As explained by Ana Keller, they prioritize caring for their terroir by studying the influence of soil, topography, and climate while farming organic grapes. That way, the wines capture the essence of their natural environment.
My favorite wines are from the Precioso Selection, crafted in small amounts and representing the best of each vintage selected from outstanding Chardonnay and Pinot Noir barrels.
If you can visit the winery, it's well worth the trip! An award-winning international architect, Ricardo Legorreta, designed the winery and sprinkled around the estate; you will see some art pieces and sculptures. I've seen several from Grace Keller, Jorge Obregon, and some outstanding German photographers.
They have a beautiful tasting room and an outdoor place to enjoy the views while tasting the wine.
I can't wait to officially move to California and take advantage of the events they host! I might enjoy picking grapes during the harvesting season.

We met with David and Tony for a tasting on a Friday morning. There is a beautiful ambiance, and the gentleman’s passion for Keller, wine, and their sustainable process was SO evident! We were completely blown away by the way they took care of us and shared their knowledge. The wine was the best we’ve had on our tour of Sonoma & we were excited to bring it home, and order more. This place is a MUST visit.

This winery is a gem in Petaluma! You don't have to go to Napa or northern Sonoma County to get the full winery experience. Their grounds/vineyards are absolutely beautiful with an amazing view of southern Petaluma valley, the river and marshlands. I've been here in August and October and it was beautiful both times, even with a slight drizzle in the morning and overcast in August. The wine cave and overall tour are high quality - on par or better than many I've done across more famous areas of Napa/Sonoma counties. The owner is a car enthusiast so your tour also includes seeing an incredible car collection, and the tour path is in the shape of one of his favorite race tracks. The wine is definitely worth it, we bought bottles of a couple of their red varietals both times. They also have a lightish food menu which is rare for any winery! I would love to do a private dining experience in their cave - haven't had the chance yet but it looks lovely. Great service and friendly, knowledgeable tour guides both times! Also loved that we could just pop into Petaluma downtown for a late lunch after without the windy long drives it takes to get back to civilization from some of the more remote wineries.

We were blessed to meet Ana Keller and get a wonderful, curated tour of the property. We tasted six of their premium wines including Rose Bubbles that was simple delicious. If you can't make it to the winery, check out the website and try a varietal. You'll be more than happy!

I'm a member. The wine and property are both phenomenal. The customer service, being able to actually call and have someone pickup, resolving an issue and scheduling a pickup and tasting as a member online - all terrible. It's so frustrating. Years ago they were open to the public, people seemed to work there. I just don't understand. Patronizing is starting to feel too frustrating for it's worth.

My experience is a bit different than the typical wine tour as my family visited to participate in one of Keller Winery's regular fitness events, in this case, the 5k run. This was a casual 'race' which involves two loops on the paved road around the property. Thus, I can't really comment on the wine tours, tasting, etc. But the run was a great way to see the beautiful landscape while burning a few calories.However, I felt compelled to write a review because the people were what made the experience special. The staff was friendly and attentive. A special shout out to the young gentleman named Alejandro, (if memory serves). He is actually a descendent of the founders of the winery.Well after the race had concluded, we were milling around looking at some of the sculptures and artwork. One of the large side doors was open and amazing classic cars were inside. Well it would have been very easy for the staff to simply say, 'look around', or even, "sorry, that's closed for now," , but Alejandro took it upon himself to show my kids around the cars and explain the history and quirks of the vehicles. He took his time and you could tell he enjoyed talking about the winery and the amazing stash of classic cars. He even showed my kids a second garage full of cars and again was very enthusiastic about showing off the automotive treasures. I was impressed he did so while recognizing my kids weren't motorheads and explaining in a way that made it interesting for them.Keller winery is indeed blessed to have family and staff like Alejandro. He made for a wonderful memory we never anticipated when we signed up for a simple 5k.

We had a great experience at Keller Winery. We sat outside, enjoying the view and weather. We tried some nice white and red wines and learned from our host. The staff was super friendly and, as a bonus, we could see some collectible cars in the property.

If you want to impress guests or have the best afternoon, come to Keller. Ask for Jose, he is so educated but also so much fun. It even shocked my friends who work in the industry - everything from the service, the wine, the views and cars and th TOUR!! I hesitate to write this becuse it's the best gem of a place I've ever been in wine country. I swear this sounds biased, but I just honestly love this place so much! It was even better with Jose!

I felt as if I was robbed. One of the first things from our server was, "We are closing soon." Even though we arrived 50 min before they closed. He poured some white wine with no explanation and left, came back a few min later with another white, poured, talked for a min and left. When it came to the red, I had to go find him because it had been at least 10 min since he visited our empty glasses. He then brought out three plates of bread..... Three tiny pieces of half stale bread. He was running late so he filled all three reds at the same time. I, because I am not familiar with the area, asked if they did a Cab. He laughed at me!!! As if I was a fool.The Vacuum running while we sat there was a nice touch. There was no type of real wine explanation of their vineyard, or the wine we drank.Oh the wine itself, it was ok, I would pay $15.00 a bottle.Our cost for 5 extremely small pours, $50.00 a piece! First time I have ever not tipped. I really felt violated. I could have spent $100.00 ( I paid for a guest) on some great wine and read about it.Stay away from this place.(The view is great and the classic cars were nice. But I went for wine)
