 California Wine Month
Wine enthusiasts do not need an excuse to raise a glass in
celebration; however, there is no finer time than the month
of September - California Wine Month. September marks the beginning
of harvest in California and California Wine Month celebrates
the state’s ideal climate for wine, beautiful wine country
landscape, our talented and ingenious winemaking families,
our celebrated lifestyle and cuisine; and our commitment to
sustainability and the environment.
California wine
is important to California's economy, as the state is
the fourth largest
wine producer in the world, makes 90 percent of American
wine and is responsible for $18.5 billion in retail wine
sales in
the U.S.
Although September is officially Wine Month here in California,
any month is a good time to discover California
wines, and particularly those of Santa Barbara
County. To learn more about winegrowing in the state,
events throughout the year and special activities during
Wine Month, visit www.discovercaliforniawines.com to learn about winery events, tastings, poster offers
and more. California Wine Month is a
campaign coordinated by Wine Institute and its more than
1,000 California wineries and affiliated
businesses, of which SBCVA is a proud member
