Sonoma County Wine Trade Resources

Discover why Sonoma County is such a special and world-renowned wine region. We have created tools and resources, including the Sonoma County AVA Map, to help illustrate the story for our trade partners. With more than 60 varietals of wines grown in 19 AVAs and over 400 wineries, there is a Sonoma County wine for everyone -from heat-loving Cabernet Sauvignon to cool-climate Riesling, with everyone’s favorites Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in between.

We’ve partnered with a third-party vendor to create educational Sonoma County topographical maps that are available for direct purchase.

Sonoma County Wine Appellations

There are 19 distinct Sonoma County wine appellations,  wine growing regions known as American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). Each has a unique climate and geography and directly correlates to the wine in your glass. From warm, sunny days to cooler, fog covered valley floors, the variations in the geography and climate influence each individual region in many ways.

Our Sonoma County AVA map is available for download as high resolution and low resolution JPEGs and PDFs. Also please take a moment to read the usage guidelines included in the download folder.
