South Coast
The climate of the South Coast wine region has long been recognized as ideal for growing wine grapes. In fact, some of the earliest known grapevines in America were planted here. Morning mists, sunny days, cool summer nights and ocean breezes produce wines that have fresh fruit characteristics and authentic flavor. From the small town of Julian to the metropolis of Los Angeles, the South Coast wine region is home to a diverse population of people and wine alike. With both a rich history and new beginnings in the wine industry, this region’s wines embody the character of the people and the history behind them.
