Sonoma County Vintners

Foggy and filled with Goldridge soil for growing perfect Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Green Valley is one of the smallest appellations in Sonoma County. Established in 1983, it’s very tightly delineated, both geographically and climatically, and is the most consistent of any North Coast appellation in terms of soil, climate and flavor.
