There are 149 American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in California, a number which is ever increasing. From Mendocino County in the North Coast all the way down to the southern border with Mexico, from coastal regions lining the Pacific Ocean to vineyards flanking the Sierra Nevada foothills, each of the areas boast characteristics that are uniquely their own. These local differences support the cultivation of a wide range of grape varieties and shape a diverse range of wines.
