The Sonoma Coast AVA is an American Viticultural Area in Sonoma County, California, USA containing more than 500,000 acres (2,000 km2), mostly along the coastline of the Pacific Ocean. It extends from San Pablo Bay to the border with Mendocino County. The appellation is known for its cool climate and high rainfall relative to other parts of Sonoma County. The area has such a broad range of microclimates that petitions have been made to the United States Department of the Treasury Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau for the creation of sub-AVAs such as the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA [2] which was approved in December of 2011.
Geography
The boundaries of the appellation are defined in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 27, Section 9.116.[1] The following seven cities are located in, or partly in, the Sonoma Coast AVA:
- Cotati
