California by the Numbers

California ranks first in the nation for winery count with over 4,600 licensed producers — more than three times any other state. The state is also home to over 900 craft breweries making it the most brewery-dense state in America by total count. California’s 220+ craft distilleries produce some of the most celebrated American whiskey, brandy, and spirits outside of the traditional Kentucky corridor.

California wine accounts for nearly 85 percent of all wine produced in the United States. Napa Valley and Sonoma County are internationally recognized as two of the world’s premier wine regions, but California’s wine story extends far beyond those famous names — from the Santa Barbara County wine country to the Sierra Foothills and the emerging Paso Robles region.

Napa Valley and Sonoma: California Wine Country

Napa Valley is the most visited wine region in the United States and one of the most recognized wine appellations in the world. Home to over 400 wineries concentrated in a 30-mile valley, Napa produces world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Merlot from some of the most valuable vineyard land on earth. Sonoma County, directly west of Napa, offers greater diversity across its many appellations — from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the cool coastal Russian River Valley to bold Zinfandel in the warmer Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys.

San Diego: America’s Craft Beer Capital

San Diego has earned its reputation as America’s craft beer capital through decades of brewing innovation. The city and its surrounding communities have produced some of the most celebrated craft breweries in the United States — from pioneering West Coast IPA pioneers to world-class stout specialists and experimental barrel-aged producers. San Diego’s year-round sunshine, beach culture, and outdoor lifestyle have created the perfect environment for a craft beer culture unlike any other in the country.
