The Suisun Valley is one of the wine country's best-kept secrets. Although Valley winemaking dates back to the late 1800s, planting began to expand steadily only during the last 20 years and surged during the 1990s. All along, when large corporate wineries in Napa and Sonoma wanted grapes for the three hottest varietals — cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay and merlot — Suisun Valley growers were among their preferred suppliers.

Today, just about every variety of wine-grape is being grown in the Valley. More importantly, Suisun Valley wineries are earning a reputation on their own — growing, producing, and selling premium, award winning wines.

Suisun Valley lies within the ultra-premium growing area known as the California North Coast which includes Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino counties. The Valley gained official recognition as an American viticultural area in 1982, just a year after Napa Valley. Approximately 3000 acres of the Suisun Valley are dedicated to grapes.

Suisun Valley Grape Growers Association
The Suisun Valley Grape Growers Association was founded in 2003 to market and promote Valley wine grapes and wines. For more information, please contact Roger King at (707) 425-9076.
