Just over the county line from Sonoma is the fascinating region of Mendocino. Mendocino is a large county that spans one California\\u2019s largest, most diverse, and northernmost wine growing regions. This quiet area, full of farmers who are passionate about the land, has just over 17,000 acres under vine in 12 appellations.

As we dig into what is here, you will learn that this region is full of surprises. Not only is Mendocino termed the \\u201corganic wine mecca of California\\u201d for its meticulous care of the land and focus on organic certification, it\'s range of terroir means producers can make everything from sophisticated, earthy, cool climate Pinot Noir and Alsace varietals, to elegant sparkling wine, to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah.

There is a myriad of climates, soils and elevations in Mendocino, and learning more will make you question why more wineries aren\\u2019t based here and why these wines are not more widely available and known to wine lovers.
