Keller Estate Wines, Petaluma, Sonoma County with General Manager Ana Keller

SoCal Restaurant Show

“Keller Estate is a Mexican-American, family-owned winery nestled in the Petaluma Gap AVA of California, a unique stretch of windswept landmarked by the wind and fog that is funneled from the cold northern Pacific coast between mountains and the bay to the warm inland valley. The Keller family brings a rich, multicultural heritage to the estate winery, and since its founding in 1983, they have remained committed to organic farming and regenerative growing practices to produce estate bottlings of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah that reflect their distinct terroir. The winery is led by Ana Keller, daughter of founders Arturo and Deborah Keller, who oversees a minimal intervention approach resulting in elegant, age-worthy, and food-friendly wines.”

“Since assuming leadership in 1998, Ana has passionately crafted wines that embody the terroir while remaining committed to the family's dedication to producing elegant, age-worthy, and food-friendly wines. Armed with a background in biochemistry and honed management and marketing expertise, Ana has evolved alongside Keller Estate, championing organic farming practices and refining blends with collaborative finesse. Her influence is palpable throughout the Estate, from personally engaging with club members to shaping its overarching vision.”

“In 2013, Ana joined the board of the Petaluma Gap Winegrowers Alliance, and was instrumental in establishing the Petaluma Gap American Viticultural Area (AVA). Reflecting the Keller family ethos of community stewardship, Ana also devotes her time to the Glancy Wine Education Foundation. Through this involvement, she helps advance wine education scholarships, fostering inclusivity and equality within the hospitality industry.”

The Peninsula Hotels around the globe are known for outstanding hospitality and global-class food and beverage. Since 2006 Keller Estate wines has bottled an exclusive yearly release of estate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for The Peninsula Hotels that is co-labeled with Keller Estates.
