The Sonoma Coast AVA is in Sonoma County. It contains more than 500,000 acres (2,000 km2), mostly along the coastline of the Pacific Ocean. It extends from San Pablo Bay to the border with Mendocino County. The appellation is known for its cool climate and high rainfall relative to other parts of Sonoma County. The area has such a broad range of microclimates that petitions have been made for the creation of sub-AVAs such as the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA.
