La Crema Winery

La Crema is one of California's most successful and influential cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay brands. Founded in 1979 and now part of the Jackson Family Wines portfolio, La Crema has spent over four decades sourcing from the finest cool-climate California sites — Sonoma Coast, Russian River Valley, Monterey, Anderson Valley — to produce Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that consistently appear on restaurant wine lists across America.

The Healdsburg Avenue tasting room provides walk-in access to the La Crema portfolio — from the accessible Sonoma Coast and Monterey expressions to the single-vineyard designates that represent the pinnacle of the program. The Nine Barrel Chardonnay — produced from the nine finest lots of the vintage — and the single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from Shea Vineyard and other celebrated Oregon and California sources give collectors and enthusiasts access to the La Crema program's most serious expressions.

For visitors new to California Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, La Crema's Healdsburg tasting room provides an ideal educational starting point: a wide range of cool-climate California AVAs expressed through consistently well-made wines at prices that reflect the brand's commitment to accessibility alongside quality.
