This American Viticulture Area is located in the Santa Monica Mountains of western Los Angeles County, California. The appellation is 46 miles (74 km) long and eight miles (13 km) wide, rising from the Pacific Coast to an elevation of 3,111 feet (948 m). The Malibu Coast AVA designation was granted in July, 2014 but wine grapes have grown in the Malibu Coast as far back as 1824, when the first documented vineyard was planted at Rancho Topanga Malibu Sequit by José Bartolomé Tapia.
