Hello from North Yuba, one of California's most obscure AVA. We are a steeply-sloped, rocky, and remote mountain terrain, with vineyards at altitudes ranging from 1600-2300 ft. We have warm days that bake the granite slopes and cold, windy nights that create powerful, tannic, acid-driven wines.
North Yuba is comprised of the communities of Frenchtown, Oregon House, and Dobbins, located about one and a half hours northeast of Sacramento. It is a wild, untamed land, inhabited by humans and our livestock, as well as deer, rabbits, mountain lions, bears, coyotes, and rattlesnakes and a multitude of other creatures. Farming is not easy here, but the terroir is pervasive in the wine, olive oil, meat, and veggies that our community produces.
