We recently hit the road to explore wine country up the California coast. The result is the perfect wine country road trip itinerary. From Santa Barbara all the way up to Willamette Valley, these are the best West Coast wineries for sipping sauvignon blanc. Long Island Wine Country has a distinctive and intimate wine-tasting experience that rivals its more famous West Coast counterpart. New restaurants, tasting rooms, and more continually refresh the experience, but the Santa Ynez Valley still manages to hold on to its charm.
The Napa Valley Wine Train is a popular experience that whisks wine-lovers through some of California's prettiest vineyards while treating them to tasty wines and gourmet meals on board. Get a sneak peek at our newest tastings with reviews of impressive Syrah, Grenache, and blends from California and Washington state, up to 93 points. California's share of U.S. wine production, around 90% in the 1990s and 2000s, dropped below 80% for the first time on record in 2022.
The Magnolia Network show, 'Getting Lost With Erin French,' just featured an episode about the owner of Maine's The Lost Kitchen visiting the West Coast wine valley for an unforgettable tasting experience. Looking to book your summer travels in wine country? These eight wineries offer unforgettable scenic experiences for wine lovers.
