Region:


San Benito County

Nestled among the low and rugged hills of California's Central Coast, San Benito is a small but mighty AVA. Its mixture of climates means that different grape varieties thrive here, which they have done since the first French and German settlers planted vineyards in the mid-1800s. You will find crisp cool-climate Pinot Noir as well as big, bold Syrah and Zinfandel, ripened to full flavor by the hot summer sun. Many of the producers in San Benito are small-scale, crafting hidden gems that are well worth seeking out.
