Central Valley

California’s Central Valley - an enormous, flat expanse more than seven hundred kilometres in length and almost one hundred kilometres across at its widest point - is amongst the world’s most productive agricultural regions. Encompassing the populous city of Fresno, the state capital Sacramento, and bound by mountains to the east and west, the valley is a hot bed of production for more than two-hundred different crop types, including a wide range of grapes used in winemaking.
