Part of the large North Coast sub-zone, Mendocino County is a region of California that is home to the world's tallest living tree and famed for its stunning visual beauty and abundance of fine wine. Renowned for its world class varietals from the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, as well as some outstanding sparkling wines in the Champagne style, the area is also something of a pioneer of organic viticulture.
