WINE ENTHUSIASTS - Graton is located in the "Green Valley of Russian River Valley" American Viticultural Area (AVA). Green Valley's terroir is considered by many to be the crème-de-la-crème grape growing region for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The climate in the Green Valley, with its close proximity to the Pacific Ocean, makes it one of the coolest appellations within Sonoma County, favoring the cultivation of these cool climate varieties.
