Buena Vista Carneros1593 visitors
| Carneros is a truly exceptional winegrowing appellation. Straddling the southernmost tips of Sonoma and Napa counties, wind and fog sweep in daily from San Pablo Bay to cool the vines and extend the growing season. The stars of the region are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but the rocky soils and cooler climate produce intensely rich Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon on warmer hillsides further inland. | Sonoma, CA
