Dry Creek Valley AVA is located in Sonoma County.   Dry Creek Valley's history of grape growing and winemaking is among the longest in California. The region's national reputation for wine may be modern, but the roots of Dry Creek Valley quality go back more than 125  years, to the first vineyard established in 1870. Dry Creek Valley was among the first regions to receive formal recognition as an American Viticulture Area in 1983, enabling local wineries to put the Dry Creek Valley appellation on their labels. Nearly 6,000 acres of vineyards now carpet the valley, providing exceptional fruit to more than 25 wineries. Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc continue to be the region's best known wines, but Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc from Dry Creek Valley have each established reputations for distinctive quality.

The beauty of Dry Creek Valley is greater than that which meets the eye. The lush vineyards that extend from the valley floor to the hills signal the real allure of the region: a deft blend of climate, soil and exposure that produces grapes of singular quality and character.

With these natural advantages in the vineyards, it's only natural that Dry Creek Valley creates truly exceptional wines.
