Our Story
At Crazy Woman Cellars, we stand for three things: crafting exceptional wines from the finest grapes grown on California’s Central Coast, honoring the bold and fearless women who dared to challenge the norm, and giving back to the community that inspires us every day.

The Woman Behind the Name
The inspiration for our name comes from a remarkable woman — the former mother-in-law of our past winemaker. As a single mother in the 1970s, she raised four girls on a homestead in Mendocino County. They lived in a sheep barn with no plumbing, windows, or doors, surrounded by encroaching pot growers she kept at bay with her six shooter.
She became known throughout the community as The Crazy Woman — and she was widely respected for it. We chose her story to honor the countless women throughout history who were called crazy simply for being fearless.
