The Santa Maria area is centrally located and home to a growing number of vineyards and wineries in the Santa Barbara County region of California. The SantaMaria Valley is associated with the ever-growing reputation of the California wine industry as a world-class wine producer, but not everyone knows what it is. Let me tell you a little more about Santa Ana, Santa Rosa and the other wine-growing areas in California, which are called "Santa Barbara Wine Country." All of this has combined to create the largest wine-growing region in Southern California, and what some call "wine country" or "California Wine Valley" in terms of wine production.

The grapes of the Valle Santa Maria are also used in the production of many other wines, such as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio and Chablis. To experience the best wines from the local wine scene, follow the SantaMaria Valley Wine Trail, which leads you to 15 wineries in the area.
