Located 70 miles east of Los Angeles, the Yucaipa Valley holds the distinction of being the highest elevation AVA in the State of California and ranks among the highest nationwide, reaching elevations of up to 5,200 feet. This unique position contributes to a one-of-a-kind terroir, characterized by alluvial fanning, significant elevation changes, and large diurnal temperature swings — second only to the renowned Paso Robles AVA.
