What an awesome experience. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We very much appreciated meeting and chatting with the director. The tastings were divine. Every recommendation was thoughtful and exactly what we were looking for. We learned so much about the vineyard and their wines. We took home about 8 bottles and signed up for the wine club. Looking forward to our next visit. It was lovely!

They welcome walk inside and very accommodating. We were given Sauvignon as we walk and while waiting as a welcome and I thought that was nice. Garden is nice.

Our friends are members here and treated us to a wine tasting. The staff are very friendly and personable. The wines were delicious and the property is beautiful. You can take a nice walk around the vineyards. A great way to spend an afternoon!

Love this winery. The staff is incredibly kind and have always provided stellar service. The property itself is beautiful and of course, I’ve never had a wine I didn’t like.

Beautiful property. They have a great range of wine, mostly chardonnay and pinots. Usually these places only have good red or whites. They have a great selection of both. They also have a large charcuterie board that 4 adults were able to share comfortably. The others in the party joined their wine club after the visit. All around great stop

Dave D spent time with us today on a cart tour of the property and a tasting. Dave was a Fanta host and was knowledgeable about the property and how they run the place. This is a renewable machine. Loved La Crema.

We had an event here last week during our wedding weekend for 22 guests, and it was the most perfect venue for a casual wine and cheese picnic! You order 1/2 a bottle of wine per person, and then you get these beautiful picnic tables with this wonderful view- and we booked it months ago, so we got this whole area called "the Knoll," which even had plenty of shade! It was a private space, everyone working there was polite and helpful, and we had a fantastic time! I'd highly recommend visiting La Crema again, and if we ever need a similar event, I'd definitely book it here again.

What a wonderful experience. welcoming and friendly! This is the wine my wife drinks at home, so we made this one of our stops when out west, and so glad we did! The wines we tasted were excellent, and we did buy a bottle or three - but you do that anywhere you go. What makes this a special visit was how we felt, that is - special! Our pup was welcomed and they invited us to enjoy our picnic lunch on the patio (come mid-week when there are less crowds!) and enjoyed our time talking to the hostess, who was very sweet, and the wonderful tasting room experience. An added bonus was the walking path ( you will see the sign when you pull in the driveway) that had a greenway and a special events location. This was in addition to the beautiful grounds around the tasting room, which has a wonderful history as a barn, a home and now tasting room(s). We will make a point of coming back when we come back west again!

A super breathtaking vineyard - the property is truly incredible. We had a reservation for 6 people and were welcomed with a glass of wine, and seated immediately. Downstairs was super cute and if we had warmer weather, we would have loved to have been outside. Service was great - she was very sweet and seemed excited about the wines she was pouring us. We had some solid Chardonnay and Pinot Noir - definitely not my favorite of all of the wine tours that we did, but they were good. Since we had lunch beforehand, we didn't get to try any of the dishes, but the table next to us did, and everything looked awesome. Overall, a really pretty area with some excellent photo ops and decent wine. Cheers!

Since I've been a member of La Crema on and off for about a decade and a half, it's about time I post a review and give credit where credit is due. This is a five star establishment for a variety of reasons, including (of course) the phenomenal wines. If you are a Pinot Noir lover like myself, this is the first stop you need to be making while visiting the Russian River Valley. The Estate at Saralee Vineyards is really beautiful, so get your camera app ready. It's a converted multi-level farmhouse that is equipped with multiple lounge areas, both indoors and out, with lovely views of the vineyards. Years ago I even hosted a bachelorette tasting here and the service was impeccable (as always). Nowadays I come with friends for member tastings where we get spoiled by Super Jeff and then take our picnic to an outdoor table overlooking the vineyard. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon if you ask me. Pro tip: Make sure you taste the 9 Barrel!

One of the only wineries where I ever seriously considered getting a club membership. For the past couple years I have been enjoying the benefits of being a member here and I have zero complaints or regrets on this. My friend and I split the membership, and at least 3-4 times a year we make the trip out here for most excellent wine, with excellent company, and of course, an excellent vegan picnic. I fell for La Crema reserve chard when I was a wine seller in another life, and that love has never left me. Usually I am not even a chardonnay person. La Crema does chardonnay, pinot, and rosé perfectly, and they are one of the first places I recommend if someone asks for either of the three. The Saralee Vineyard is beautiful, and whether you choose an indoor or outdoor reservation, you'll feel Alex T. level fancy. I like sitting on the patio facing the vineyard. It would be a good idea to call ahead and reserve a tasting before dropping in here. The tasting fee is $40 I believe, but waived for you and three friends if you are a wine club member. Customer service here is fantastic as well, if you need to swap bottles or need anything at all. One weekend the roads flooded and they called us to let us know, and put us up at a partner tasting room in Healdsburg Square at no cost to us. Ask for Jeff, he is patient, kind, and knowledgeable. Did I mention patient? ;-) There are snacks, charcuterie, and oysters available for purchase, but nothing very vegan friendly, which is why they offer picnic tables outside. The outdoor tasting areas are dog friendly. This isn't a weak pours or five tastings only type of place either, so a DD would be a good idea so you don't get too sloshed on slusser.

Tastings don't really get better than this. The wine definitely earned the award but the service was great. The whole vineyard is beautiful. The building is open and airy. Our tasting was pre booked and we were taken upstairs. Such pretty views out the windows to go with the 9 pours we had. And generous pours. Jana was a great. And if you buy two bottles you get a tasting refunded. Check out the bathroom photos.

La Crema has a big, beautiful tasting room and property to enjoy while visiting. The staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. The wines were decent, but like most national brand wineries what you buy at Walmart or the local grocery store isn't typically available at the winery, as the wines they feature are the smaller batch, higher quality wines. Definitely did a nice job explaining this to us. Their charcuterie board was excellent. If you've never been, it's definitely a nice place to stop in and check out.

Great energy from the moment we stepped through the doors. We booked the "Taste of the Vineyard" which is normally served outside but the staff was nice enough to ask if we wanted to do the tasting inside due to the weather conditions. We opted to taste inside because it was a little chilly. They served three different wines, a rosé, Pinot and a Chardonnay. A great variety, especially since this was the first time we had visited the property. I liked that we were also encouraged to get up and walk around and view the property in the building which was beautiful. Will definitely be back!

First time going here today. The weather was perfect! Not hot but not cold. We did the estate tasting and added the cheese board. Everything was so good. We had Joie as our host and she did amazing!

The building and grounds are lovely, they were voted best winery, they grow their own grapes etc .. We booked a wine and food pairing which was good but underwhelming. We've had many food & wine pairings at other wineries that were much better. So a bit disappointed. I bought their cookbook because it was beautiful - not necessarily for their recipes.

When your favorite wine comes to life! My husband & I made this our first stop for our anniversary trip & booked a picnic table to enjoy some bottles on a lovely Saturday afternoon. There are many bottles that you can only experience while here on the estate & it was well worth the stop. Families & dogs are all welcome with so many amazing seating packages to choose from. La Crema has been my favorite wine for over 10 years & it was such a treat to be able to enjoy the scenery both inside & out. When you book a picnic table ($50 a person) you're able to purchase 3 bottles of wine & have the table fee waved. Unsure if the bottle number would increase due to number of people, however that's what it was for 2 people. The price per bottle is very reasonable (lowest being $40 if you are not a member), which made it easy to snag a few to bring home! Loved every second of this visit!

Best and most friendly wine tasting ever. Service is top notch and professional, and the staff is knowledgeable about their product. Tasting room has best view from of the wine yard. Tasting room/deck is quiet and welcoming. Definitely recommend La Crema if you are in the area.

We had a wonderful first visit to the property. The property is deceiving inside. It's beautiful with a very welcoming feeling. We were a walk in and they were able to seat us within a short time. The hostess was so sweet and accommodating. She provided us a glass of their Rose wine. That was very light and refreshing. The view was out towards the vineyards and hills. Jeff was our sommelier. He was great. So personable and knowledgeable about the estate and the wines he was serving. We ordered a charcuterie board that included meats from Healdsburg, and cheeses from Marin cheese company. The presentation was simple but elegant. We enjoyed the Chardonnay flight with the various tastes between them. My husband really took to the Pinots. Jeff let us try some off the menu wines that we ended up purchasing. Overall wonderful visit. We will be back.

What a beautiful relaxing location. It was peacful. We enjoyed it so much. We forgot to take pictures of the wine and the food. The only thing I could say I was a little disappointed on the fact that they don't have anything nonalcoholic I understand same winery, but I did have a friend that does not drink wine, but was there to celebrate my marriage, I wish there would've been something alcoholic even some ginger ale. Otherwise hearing the history of the vineyard and taking a few group photos and spending time with friends was the best so if you're ever down to just relax, specially if you're local and never know what to do this is a great winery to go spend some time with friends or loved ones.

I have spent 20 days in Napa in the last two years and this was my favorite experience by far! Ambience was sustainability in vineyards and what's possible in the future of farming. The service was five stars from the staff, Wine educator, and chefs. The food is often provided to places like the French laundry so needless to say this was the best meal I had had in two long visits to Napa in the last two years. Do you want a salad of 20 fresh lettuce from the garden? Well you've picked the right place. Do you want Truffles hunted by the Chef's dogs on their truffle grounds, well, you've come to the right place. Do you want Wagyu beef from the snake river ranch that you know was treated well? Even the vegetarians felt comfortable eating it. If you're in the industry, make sure you ask for the 30% discount in the shop. Would love to bring my kids back here!!

My husband and I were spending a weekend in Guerneville and happened to notice the sign for La Crema tasting room. We had no idea that there was a location in this area- called and was able to make a last minute reservation for the next day! They are dog friendly, and we were able to bring our pup into the patio with us. We each had the tasting flight, which came with 3 whites/ 3 reds. Our wine educator Gary was amazing, so knowledgeable and also let us try some additional pours. Charcuterie board had an excellent variety of meats cheeses and nuts. Tasting fee of $40 was waived with purchase of 2 bottles. We left with several bottles of La Crema grey label wines, which are only sold from La Crema directly. Our favorite was the Saralee vineyard chardonnay. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back.

Lovely winery located off the regular beaten path! I have tasted at La Crema Estate many times over the years and somehow it never disappoints. While many know it for it's grocery store wines, it has much more to offer. First off, the site is historic and absolutely gorgeous! Tons of room for all seasons involved, so never an issue there. Also some great spots to take some photos for social, so that's always a plus for those visiting. Getting to the location is not that difficult either, a simple detour from the major city of Santa Rosa and you have basically arrived. When it comes to the wine, they have a myriad of different varieties that you will not see in the store, likely either wine club or exclusive to the winery. While I am not a Chardonnay fan, I will commend them on their Pinot's that are local to the county. Price point for the tastings and bottles of wine are on par with many other competitors in the area, which is great. Overall, I always end up leaving with a bottle or two as it's such a great experience with some great vino to offer!

I am a wine club member at La Crema, along with a friend. We had 6 high school girlfriends coming in from all over the US (Maine, New Jersey, Spokane, San Diego, Pasadena, Chico) for a weekend in the Sonoma Valley. I had never done the vineyard tour with my husband, so I was hoping it would be fun. Oh my gosh! Troy, our tour guide, took us on the most amazing, informative, beautiful tour around the La Crema grounds, and then treated us to a delicious tasting experience. Troy's humor and friendly personality added to the ambiance of the beauty of the vines in the fall just made for a excellent experience. Our friends just loved it, and kept thanking us for the fun day. Thank you, Troy, and to the winery!

Thank you La Crema...we love your wine and scheduled a tasting as soon as we had a free weekend..needless to say we were not disappointed. From the first welcome glass of bubbles, to the last drop of the wine tasting, we were met with such great service. We were over 10 mins late ( got lost) and they were Happy to accommodate our tasting...Our dog Cocoa had a relaxing time, and Gary was 110% out of 100%...the charcuterie board featured all local products, the view was peaceful, and the experience was unforgettable! Thank you for your hospitality. We can't wait to come back!

Went along with friends while they did a wine tasting. I don't drink, so this is just about the experience and not the wine tasting itself! We were seated at an outdoor table and the wine expert (Maurice) was so friendly and welcoming. There were four of us, but only two people were tasting. That didn't stop Maurice from engaging with all of us. The other non drinker and I shared a bottle of their first class water! There were tastings of white wine followed by tastings of red. Maurice explained the origin of each wine. Nobody felt rushed or pushed into purchasing. We shared a charcuterie board and had a wonderful time. The charcuterie board was a bit on the expensive side for the amount of food and we could have used more crackers, but it was fun just sitting in that beautiful area and chatting.

The property is very beautiful and they have many different tasting areas both inside and outside. My husband and I were there when it was rainy but we still had such a love time here. The staffs were all very friendly and out host Maurice was super duper! We went their as walked in on Monday but it was fine. The tasting is $40/person and you get to try 8 selections on their wine list. We joined the wine club after the tasting and can't wait to visit again with families and friends!

We had a great time at La Crema's picnic tables with a family group, half who didn't drink. The winery and grounds are beautiful, and the wine is fantastic. We went on a Friday and got a shaded table under a redwood tree, so it wasn't too hot. The picnic tables are complementary and located on the ground level near the vineyard. We had a bottle of brut rose, Carneros Chardonnay and Russian River Chardonnay. With 7 adults and only 4 drinking, they required the purchase of 3 bottles to waive the $50 deposit. The bottles ranged from $35-55 so it was easy to meet that minimum. We brought charcuterie, sandwiches, sodas in addition to the purchasing wine. Our server was a little slow as they had a lot of tastings on the patio, but they let us linger for two hours. We ended the day by talking a self-guided tour around the vineyard. It was a great experience for our out of town guests.

Maurice provided a five star tasting experience! It was easy to set the appointment, not far from the hotel and has beautiful property. Too bad the wind kept us inside. We tasted several whites and then several pinot noirs. Then two sparkling wines. We had a blast! Maurice brought conversation on so many topics and was so relatable! We ordered wine for our selves and ordered some for a friend's birthday! Definitely recommend!

Charming, relaxing, and picturesque with extraordinary wines to boot. This is La Crema and it is FABULOUS! My dear friend who's a wine club member invited me to a tasting at La Crema's breathtaking estate last year, and I was completely blown away by my entire experience. I've been a big fan of La Crema's wines for several years now, but this was my first time ever tasting at their estate. It's a completely different experience. Plus, the wines at their winery are exclusive and they taste waaay better than anything that you'd find from their label in the stores. When I arrived, I was promptly greeted in the tasting room and given a taste of their amazingly crisp and refreshing Rosé! Starting me off with wine at the door will always earn extra brownie points. Their indoor tasting room is very chic and rustic. The exterior of their building is very barnyard-esque. It's so adorable! There are so many places to sit and taste within their estate, but I must say that the best view comes from their back patio. And wow what a view it is! Gorgeous sweeping views of their vibrant vineyards and the Russian River Valley and beyond! We had the best seats in the house and enjoyed our delicious wines with a captivating view. Now about those wines; absolutely exquisite! All of them! Every single one. For all of my Pinot Noir and Chardonnay lovers; you will love, love, LOVE La Crema's wines! Their Pinot Noirs are more of a Burgundian style which I'm a huge fan of. I absolutely fell in love with their jammy, earthy, and fruit forward Pinot. All were incredibly smooth and easy drinking. I love that they source their grapes from different AVA's ranging from Anderson Valley down to the Santa Rita Hills. This makes for an excellent variety of rich and complex wines. Their Chardonnays were absolute scrumptious as well. Again, the variety is amazing. From the butter lovers to the citrus cravers; La Crema practically has a Chardonnay for all tastes. What's crazy is that I enjoyed all of them, even the more buttery Chard (I'm not usually into the butter but this was so well balanced). We also ordered and shared a charcuterie plate which was ample and delicious. For the price, you will definitely get your monies worth. I can't forget to mention the exceptional service that we received from Ashley! That lady is truly a star! So crafted in her skills and she exudes so much passion. We loved learning about the history of the winery and listening to her describe each wine down to a tee (all of her descriptions were so vivid and correct). If you are tasting with Ashley, you'll be so lucky because she was awesome! Excellent, excellent, excellent experience here at La Crema! I'm looking forward to coming back again really soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Best of the Vine Estate tour this morning with Katie. We are already big fans of La Crema but this insider's tour to learn about the history, facility, regenerative farming practices & even a chance to explore the vineyards first hand was awesome. Katie was knowledgeable & really allowed us an up close tour with plenty of chances to ask questions and, of course, taste some of the delicious wine! Highly recommend.

This place is a hidden treasure!! I'm so happy we decided to check it out. My friend recommended it after she did one of their virtual wine tastings. The wine is delicious. We purchased a wine tasting and I ended up purchasing two bottles as well. I'm usually a red girl but the rosé and whites were phenomenal here. The cheese board we ordered was thoughtfully put together and gorgeous. The winery is beautifully located and I wish we had more time to explore! Will definitely be back.

Let's be honest about why we all go wine tasting. Yes, it's about the wine but it's also about the experience value from going out to the vineyard with friends, being educated and entertained. Without the latter you might as well just go to a grocery store. We were a party of 4 visiting La Crema for the first time and we were delighted to spend time with Maurice as he shared his knowledge and wit about wine and life. As usual to wineries in the Russian River AVA, La Crema is about Chardonnay and Pinot Noir but we were treated to various vintages and vineyards so we could discover our favorite, Sable Mountain Pinot Noir

We had a wonderful experience at La Crema. Our tasting guide Ashley was very knowledgeable and helpful. The have their outside tasting tables divided into 4-5 areas which helps control noise and allows for a more relaxed tasting experience. They structure their tasting experience in an unusual way, tasting three Chardonnays then 3 Pinot Noirs side-by-side. This allows you to taste subtle differences in terroir within the same varietal. We also tried the Sauvignon Blanc,, Blanc de Blanc and Rose sparkling. Our favorites were Saralee Vineyard Chardonnay, Sauv Blanc and Rose sparkling. They offer beautiful charcuterie platters but alas, we had a big lunch and couldn't do it. Overall, the estate is beautiful, the wines high quality and the service excellent resulting in an wonderful tasting experience that highlights the best Sonoma county has to offer.

A must go to winery for so many reasons. Took dear friends from out of town to treat them to a chocolate & wine pairing tasting. Yum. David, our Estate Host was top-notch and so was the tasting. The grounds are beautifully manicured and welcoming along with the staff. Generous charcuterie boards are also available. La Crema offers The Best of the Vine Tour, not to be missed. Dog friendly. Walk-ins, not a problem.

When you see a picture of the exterior of La Crema, it can be unassuming: it's a large cabin in the middle of a vineyard. But when you see all the praise online and when you see that they love having dogs visit with you, you're more than willing to give them a chance. And wow, is that drive in to their space baffling. The driveway leading to their main building is lined with so many beautiful plants and flowers that you become inspired to disregard your springtime allergies. And the exterior may have a traditional, outdoorsy feel, but when you're inside you can take in the blend of contemporary and traditional designs in their huge space. Best of all, this beautiful location also comes with a whole winery and wine tasting experience! It was so good, we joined their wine club in the first hour of our first visit. Gary was happy to share stories about wine and their winemaking, about his life and ours, and we felt welcomed and comfortable at La Crema. Some wineries across Sonoma and Napa try to pressure you to join wine clubs with disingenuous salesmanship, but it felt like we were here to be a part of a larger experience. They're nothing short of wonderful.

If you come here, which you must, ask for Dina! She knows so much about the history of the vineyard and is fantastic at telling the story. Not to mention, you're tasting fantastic wine while Dina speaks.

I've heard so much about la Crema from its beauty to its delicious wine and personally what I've heard was accurate. First off the staff were gracious for quickly accommodating our two extra guest very last minute. We had 6 different tastings 3 Pinot Noirs and 3 Chardonnays. Each very good but personally I favored all the Pinots ! Our Server asked if we wanted to know more about each wine as we moved through our tastings. We also had a charcuterie board that paired very well. Our group had a good time and I certainly plan on returning to show off this place. La Crema is a no brainer, it's a must visit.

Wow. Did the tour and it was amazing and informative. Great guide!! The estate is expansive and beautiful. It was 90 degrees up near the building but then we drove through the estate on a golf cart to the other side and it was breezy and cool. Like two separate climates in one property. Very cool. Sampled wine and grapes in the vineyard. The wines were outstanding. Filled half our wine tote. The indoor space is equally nice. Highly recommend this place.

Back to the saralee Vinyard again at last! I absolutely love this place and thought it was high time I wrote a review! Driving through the rows of vines I turned into Saralee noticing the enticing landscape with thoughtful rosebushes planted along the dive. The views from inside of the rolling vines are relaxing as well as you sip and swirl. My host was so friendly and funny accomadating my every request and making sure I got every bottle I wanted to take home. This is probably my favorite winery with so many chardonnay choices and luscious pinot noirs. 9 barrel upgrades are a real treat as well. Thank you!

We've been here a couple of times. The people are very nice, accommodating, fun. The wines are very good, the atmosphere fun as well. Recommend when you make your reservation you request seating in the rear of the tasting room, better view than setting at a picnic table on the driveway. Also, request wines in limited production other wise this label is available pretty much anywhere.

Great service and beautiful estate. Wine tasting of 6 wines (sparkling, white and Pinot Noir) is generous and paired with a cheese plate. Enjoyed rocking chairs overseeing part of the vineyard. Plenty of space for a bunch of people. Left with sparkling blanc de blanc and probably could've left with more but i was trying to scale back on my wine purchases after a day of wine tasting in the area. Easy to find location and easy to get to. I look forward to coming back to re-stock! I always appreciate places with sparkling wine choices.

Very strict on rules regarding picnic tables and tasting. We booked both tasting and a picnic table. They are strict on allowing us to bring our wine to the picnic table even though the service was so slow and inattentive that they probably wouldn't have noticed if we did that anyway. We were also not allowed to bring our outside food to the seated tasting. We also were asked to clear our tables right away due to other reservations but we observed two tables that stayed empty the entire time we were there. We were hoping a wine purchase of three bottles would cover both the tasting and the picnic but unfortunately it didn't. Wine was so-so, our favorite was the complimentary taste we got before we sat at the picnic table. Other wineries have a much more inviting atmosphere. View was nice but again you can find better places. We are frequent visitors to this region but would probably not go here again.

I was really looking forward to visiting La Crema because I love their Chardonnay's and Pinots. The whole experience was just okay. I also don't understand why they charge taxes on the tasting fees, other tasting rooms don't do this. The Chardonnay's in the estate tasting were not that great, I actually prefer the Chardonnay from the grocery store for a fraction of the cost. The Pinots were excellent, but I just didn't feel compelled to buy because I wasn't feeling the overall experience. A side note that the bathrooms were a bit gross- it seemed that someone may have thrown up in the one I used. Not the wine county experience we had hoped for. Likely will not return.

I've been a club member for a couple months now and am loving the perks! Beautiful property with a great selection of wines. If you ever head to La Crema for a tasting I recommend asking for Jeff. He has a ton of knowledge, creates a warming and welcoming experience, & is so much fun! Charcuterie board is a 10/10 Definitely worth a stop if you are ever in the area!

I had an opportunity to visit La Crema twice this year; once the weekend before SIP and once a month before the second SIP. Each trip was lovely and aside from wearing a mask the second time, as a guest, I felt truly comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed my tasting experience. They have taken extra precautions to make the tasting experience safe for both the guests and employees. I enjoyed the beautiful outdoor seating; the tiered decks provide the perfect backdrop for a lovely tasting experience. On the second trip, we had an opportunity to also include a cheese board to accompany the wines. Being here, was a nice respite from the events of 2020. Come to la Crema for a day of beautiful scenery and wines.
