Though small, Mendocino County is known for producing world-class Wines , a tradition started more than 100 years ago. Its first winery was established in 1879 by Louis Finne, near what today is Hopland. Today , nearly 30 wineries are found in the area. The region produces an abundance of award winning vintages and the business is the largest non-manufacturing industry in the county. The county’s wine regions are divided into six valley areas, each noted for the different varieties of grapes that are produced under slightly different climatic conditions.

These areas are:

Sanel & McDowell Valley: These valleys are found where Hwy 101 enters Mendocino County from the south and then along Highway 175 toward Lake County.

Ukiah Valley: This valley lies further north along Hwy 101 and it was here that the county’s grape growing began. Today it is where some of the largest and oldest vintners make their home.

Redwood & Potter Valleys: These valleys are the northern frontier for commercial grape growing in California, and lie further north along Hwy 101 and along Hwy 20.

Anderson Valley: This valley is located between Hwy 101 and the Mendocino Coast on Hwy 128 and is some of the most beautiful countryside in the state.

So come enjoy the wines of Mendocino . . . Our tasting rooms are smaller and more intimate and less crowded. Spending a day traveling from vineyard to vineyard can be a wonderful experience. We have day trip maps & information for you at our Inn.
