With over 1,000 wineries between Napa and Sonoma, it can seem a bit daunting. We have 16 AVA's in Napa Valley and 18 AVA'S in Sonoma. AVA is the American Viticultural Area of a wine region. Each area is subdivided based upon similar soil, climate and altitude.

Together with Lea Gourley, we are going to be creating weekly blogs that showcase these different regions. Each week I will highlight a winery, restaurant and activity to do in each unique area. Beginning with the first AVA established in 1983, Carneros. The Carneros region is both a part of Sonoma & Napa.

This will be a fun and informative journey and I'm excited to see where it will take us!
