| South San Luis Obispo County area has earned worldwide recognition and respect for the exceptional quality of wine grapes produced in this ideal viticultural area. There are over 3000 acres of vines in South San Luis Obispo County, and more vineyards are being planted. The climate and soils have been proven to provide the perfect environment for growing and producing ultra premium quality wines. Today, because of this region’s ideal world-class microclimate and soils, wine grapes are the leading crop in San Luis Obispo County. The cool climate and marine sediment in the soils of Edna Valley earned the valley's wine grape growers a reputation for growing superior Chardonnay. Yet today, viticulturists have proven that the soils of the Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande Valley are also ideally suited for growing Pinot Noir, Syrah, Grenache, and white Rhone varieties such as Roussanne and Viognier.” -- San Luis Obispo Vintners & Growers Association
