The Fountaingrove District is a sleeper of an appellation within Sonoma County, achieving American Viticultural Area (AVA) status without much fanfare or controversy. Yet it has a long and colorful history. Taking its name from a historic area of northeastern Santa Rosa, the Fountaingrove District is inspired by the legacy of California’s original “cult winery.” There are 500 acres of vineyards in the 38,000-acre appellation and five wine producers in the Fountaingrove District.
