Wineries in Anderson Valley and Mendocino Ridge*

To locate the wineries, refer to the map in previous article.

* The Mendocino Ridge AVA is located just west of Anderson Valley. It consists of a scattering of tiny vineyards and a few wineries on ridges above the fog line at a minimum of 1,200 feet elevation. About 75 acres are planted, primarily to Zinfandel which has a history here dating back to the late 1800s. In recent years, a few Pinot Noir producers have put down roots in the Mendocino Ridge AVA in the town of Elk.
