Wine Country (California) The Wine Country is an area of Northern California in the United States known worldwide as a premium wine-growing region.

There are over 400 wineries in the area north of San Francisco, mostly located in the area's valleys, including Napa Valley in Napa County, and the Sonoma Valley, Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Bennett Valley, and Russian River Valley in Sonoma County.

The majority of the grape harvest, by both area and value, derives from Sonoma County.
