Who We Are

The Carneros Wine Alliance is an association of vintners and growers in the Carneros AVA. (American Viticulture Area). The region spans the southern portions of both the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. One of the world’s premier winegrowing regions, Los Carneros – “The Ram” in Spanish – is located 40 minutes from San Francisco, Marin County, the East and North Bays. Sacramento and the South Bay are both just a short distance further. A cool climate appellation, Carneros has long been known for its unassailable Chardonnays, elegant Pinot Noirs and its sparkling wines. In recent years, Carneros has been recognized for the quality of its Syrah, its Merlot and new varietals now emerging throughout the appellation.
