It’s time to plan a trip to Wine Country! September is California Wine Month, and there’s no better time to experience the excitement of the state’s annual harvest season.

Across California, wineries, regional associations, and other organizations are hosting exclusive tastings, festivals, live music, food pairings, grape stomps, vineyard hikes, and much more.

Sounds like a perfect time for a road trip to us!

California Wine Month celebrates the Golden State’s 250-year winegrowing history and recognizes the achievements of California vintners and growers in preserving tradition and driving innovation.

With 4,800 vintners and 5,900 growers within its borders, California is the world’s fourth-largest wine producer and the source of 81 percent of the wine made in the United States. It is also the most visited state in the U.S. for food- and wine-related activities, attracting 24 million people each year, and the producer of more than 400 specialty crops.

Wine lovers can also celebrate with activities and special offers from California Wine Month partner retailers and restaurants during the month of September.
