The Solano County Green Valley AVA received its designation as an AVA in 1982 and is located on a four-mile stretch of Solano County, California. Situated to the south of the Napa Valley AVA, Green Valley is greatly affected by neighboring San Pablo Bay. Due to its proximity to the Bay, the soils of the AVA are sandy and alluvial in nature and are considered very well draining. The climate is dominated by bright sunny days with the cool breezes and fog coming off of San Pablo Bay in the mornings and evenings. The area is known for its production of Merlot and Syrah.
