Why This Region Matters
Anderson Valley is Mendocino's crown jewel, a remote, fog-laced valley near the coast that produces world-class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparkling wine. The dramatic diurnal swings and cool maritime climate also make it California's finest home for Alsatian varieties like Gewürztraminer and Riesling. Its isolation has preserved a tight-knit, quality-obsessed community of growers.
