Marin County California
Marin County California is located north of San Francisco. It's a short drive across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco to Marin County. Sonoma County borders Marin to the north. San Rafael and Novato are the two largest cities in the county.
There are a small number of fascinating wineries producing wine in Marin County. These are small family owned Marin County wineries that grow their grapes and produce their own wines. This region is known best for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, Marin is an ideal location for the production of these cool weather wines.
