The Sonoma Coast AVA extends from San Pablo Bay to the border with Mendocino County. Close to the Pacific Ocean which influcences the region daily, the area is renowned for its cool climate and high rainfall relative to other parts of Sonoma County. With just 2,000 vineyard acres planted high on the ridges above the fog line, this region produces some of Califonia's most-coveted, Burgundian-varietal wines.
