About Lula Cellars
Lula Cellars is Anderson Valley's most dedicated Pinot Gris specialist and one of the most warmly personal small-production estates on Highway 128. Mike and Moira Duffy, who left San Francisco careers to pursue their passion for the Anderson Valley's cool, fog-influenced terroir, established Lula in 2004 with two estate vineyards and a focus on the aromatic white varieties that the Navarro River corridor produces with particular distinction: Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer alongside Pinot Noir. At Lula Cellars, guests can sit and admire the view over a picnic at the tasting room, a relaxed stop at the coastal end of the valley.
The two Anderson Valley vineyard sites, the Garden Vineyard and the Ferrington Vineyard, provide the diversity of soil and aspect that allows the Duffy family to produce Pinot Gris of genuine complexity and individual character. Wine Country Getaways specifically recommends Lula Cellars as an Anderson Valley Pinot Noir specialist with genuine 'value-priced wines', a characterization that understates the quality of Lula's aromatic white program, which is the true discovery for visitors who take the time to explore the full lineup.
The daily walk-in tasting with dogs welcomed, families comfortable, and picnic grounds available with Anderson Valley views creates the most relaxed and personal small-estate experience on the western (Philo) end of Highway 128.
