California Wineries & Winery Tours
California has a rich history in wine making. The state of California provides almost ninety percent of the American wine production. Wineries in California date back as far as the eighteenth century when missionaries planted vineyards to produce wine for church services. Today there are more than 1200 wineries in the state and they produce wine that is shipped all over the world.
A number of the California wineries include boutique wineries that offer visitors the chance to view and tour a small vineyard. The wines of California have rivaled the best wines of France since the day they were introduced to the world.
A tour of the California wineries will take you through some of the most beautiful regions of the state. California is a large and geographically diverse state and a serious wine lover could spend years touring the wineries in the various regions of California.
The most famous region of the state is on the northern coast and it includes the Napa Valley, Sonoma and Mendocino. These wines have become world class leaders in the wine world. A tour of wine country in California should include these world famous wine regions.
A tour of wine country should also include the other regions of California including the Santa Clara Valley, the Santa Cruz Mountains, San Lucas and the Santa Maria Valley in the central coast region of the state. These are just a few of the notable regions to visit in this rich wine region. The central valley of the state includes the Sierra Foothills.
The southern region of the state boasts notable wine regions as well including the Ramona Valley, Temecula Valley and the San Pasqual Valley.
There are many other wine areas that boast some of the best boutique Caliornia wineries in the state. No tour of California wine country would be complete without a visit to these regions as well.
