Welcome to the Suisun Valley

Nestled between two coastal mountain ranges, and situated midway between San Francisco and Sacramento, lies Suisun Valley—a pristine landscape dotted with premium wineries, farm-fresh produce stands, and quaint eateries.

In 1982, growers of the Western Solano County Grape Growers Association successfully petitioned the BATF, and received formal designation of Suisun Valley as an identified AVA. The 15,000 acre Suisun Valley AVA was subsequently included in the 1983 formation of the North Coast AVA, combining Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino counties, together with Suisun Valley and Green Valley (with elements of Lake and Marin Counties) into one overarching ultra premium growing region, now recognized world-wide.

With its Mediterranean climate and rich and fertile soils, Suisun Valley is one of California’s agricultural meccas
