Wine Regions
As of 2005, ten American Viticultural Areas (AVA) have been designated within Mendocino County-Anderson Valley AVA, Cole Ranch AVA, Covelo AVA, Dos Rios AVA, McDowell Valley AVA, Mendocino AVA, Mendocino Ridge AVA, Potter Valley AVA, Redwood Valley AVA and Yorkville Highlands AVA. The majority of Mendocino County plantings are in the eastern side of the county, clustered around the cities of Redwood Valley, Ukiah and Hopland. While Redwood Valley has its own AVA, most of these other plantings produce wine under the larger blanket of the Mendocino AVA. The most prominently featured Mendocino AVAs to appear on wine labels are the Anderson Valley, McDowell Valley and Redwood Valley AVAs.
