Located in the southwest of California's Lake County, the tiny appellation of Benmore Valley was granted AVA status in 1991. Covering an area of just six-hundred hectares and characterised by a climate significantly cooler than surrounding areas, Benmore Valley has historically been planted principally to the Chardonnay grape. However, currently there are no vineyards within the appellation’s bounds.
