Region:


Dry Creek Valley

Dry Creek Valley AVA is located around 70 miles north of San Francisco, in the heart of Sonoma County. This small region may only be two miles wide, but it's a treasure trove of diversity thanks to its varied landscape and complex geological history. Flanked by rivers and lakes, the region's vineyards stretch from sun-soaked hillsides to cool valley floors. Its deep, gravelly soils are the perfect home for California's favorite red grape varieties, particularly Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while Sauvignon Blanc thrives in cooler sites.
