La Crema
Monterey, California
La Crema was named 2024 American Winery of the Year by Wine Enthusiast!
From their unwavering commitment to quality, championing sustainability & LGBTQ+ causes, to their trailblazing partnership with the WNBA, La Crema continues to over-deliver on quality wines at scale and resonate with new, younger demographics, while making a meaningful impact with existing drinkers & the wine industry. When La Crema was founded in 1979 as La Crema Viñera, meaning the Best of the Vine. The name was intended as an unabashed boast as these vineyards produced the very best grapes in the region.
Today, the name has been shortened to mean, simply, the best, and La Crema’s wines represent the best grapes from preeminent cool-climate regions in California and Oregon. La Crema wines, inspired by Burgundian-style Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, are made in small lots that nurture distinct flavors and balance.
The end result is elegant wines that are unswerving in quality over time. From bud break to finished bottles, the commitment to high-touch winemaking ensures consistently distinct, elegant and naturally balanced wines. These were the standards established 40+ years ago; and remain the principles by which the winery lives today.
