Wine Regions

California's crown jewel of Cabernet

Established as California's first American Viticultural Area in 1981, Napa Valley is home to more than 500 wineries spread across 16 distinct sub-appellations. The valley's 46,000 acres under vine produce some of the world's most celebrated Cabernet Sauvignon, benefiting from warm days, cool nights, and a remarkable diversity of volcanic and alluvial soils.

Diverse, coastal, and quietly extraordinary

Sonoma County produces nearly twice as much wine as Napa Valley across 19 distinct AVAs, from the fog-kissed Sonoma Coast to the warm Alexander Valley. The county's extraordinary diversity of soils, elevations, and microclimates makes it one of California's most versatile wine regions, with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay achieving particular renown.

Bold reds and Rhône varieties on the Central Coast

Paso Robles — meaning 'Pass of the Oak Trees' — has emerged as one of California's most exciting wine regions, with over 200 wineries growing more than 60 grape varieties across 11 sub-districts. The region's dramatic temperature swings, calcareous soils, and warm Mediterranean climate produce powerful, expressive wines, particularly from Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Rhône varieties.

Where the mountains meet the sea

Santa Barbara County's unique geography — transverse mountain ranges that funnel cool Pacific air inland through east-west valleys — creates ideal conditions for Burgundian varieties. The region produces some of California's finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, along with expressive Syrah and a growing portfolio of Rhône and Italian varieties.

Gold Rush country with old-vine soul

The Sierra Foothills wine region stretches across the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada, encompassing Amador, El Dorado, Calaveras, and Tuolumne counties. At elevations between 1,000 and 3,500 feet, the region is home to some of California's oldest Zinfandel vines — some over 100 years old — producing intensely flavored, characterful wines with a distinctly rustic charm.

Southern California's wine country gem

Temecula Valley is Southern California's premier wine destination, drawing 3.4 million visitors annually and generating over $1.1 billion in economic impact. Located in Riverside County, the valley's Mediterranean climate, warm days, and cool nights create ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Viognier, and a growing range of Mediterranean varieties.
