Edna Valley

Situated in the southern portion of the Central Coast, Edna Valley is one of California's best-kept secrets. The region produces balanced Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, plus fragrant Syrah and Viognier. Here it is all about the terroir. Edna lies close to the coast, encircled by volcanic hills that give the valley its rich array of soils. As the cool air and fog swirl in off Morro Bay, they are trapped by the mountains, creating the longest growing season in the entire state. This allows grapes to ripen gently over a long period, developing their full spectrum of flavors while staying impressively fresh.
