Winemakers have discovered the bounty of Lake County's agriculturally rich valley, which surrounds ancient Clear Lake and the rocky red volcanic soil around Mt. Konocti. These soils, in conjuction with warm days and cool evenings have created an ideal environment for quality grape production.
Lake County now has over 25 wineries plus several out-of-county wineries source their fruit from the region. Vineyard acreage has grown to over 8,800 acres and is expected to double in the next few years. Wineries here include small family operations to medium sized facilities.
