Home to legendary wine regions such as Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Mendocino, and Lake County, this area is defined by its diverse terroir, coastal influences, and generations of winemaking expertise. With its rolling vineyards, cool maritime breezes, and rich soil, the North Coast offers the perfect conditions for cultivating world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandel.
