The Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak AVA is an American Viticultural Area in Sonoma County.[1] It is located at the top of Pine Mountain, at the Northern end of the Mayacamas Range, which separates the Napa and Sonoma growing regions. The AVA, which rises between 1600 feet at its lowest point to 2600 feet at its highest, is one of the highest grape growing regions in California.[2]
