THE VITICULTURAL DISTRICTS OF CALIFORNIA

THE VITI CULTURAL DISTRICTS OF CALIFORNIA

IN MARCH 1880, in an effort to assist California's struggling vineyardists, the State Legislature established the Board of State Viticultural Commissioners. The legislative act provided for the appointment of a Board of nine members, two from the State at large and one from each of the seven newly designated viticultural districts. In addition, the legislature instructed the University of California to conduct research on viticulture and enology and to publish its findings.

The Board's purpose was clearly defined: promote the State's winegrowing interests - both practical and experimental - and seek a remedy for the devastating vine-destroying pest, phylloxera. The premium European vines planted in California's vineyards were being decimated by phylloxera and the winegrowers were anxiously concerned about its rapid advance.

The Board ofViticultural Commissioners met semi-annually in the San Francisco office of the Chief Executive Viticukural Officer, Charles A. Wetmore. The seven District Commissioners were respected winemen of knowledge and experience; within a few years, their influence was realized by a marked improvement in the quality and quantity of California wines.

SONOMA VITI CULTURAL DISTRICT. Isaac DeTurk, pioneer winegrower of Sonoma County and proprietor of the large DeTurk Winery at Santa Rosa, was chosen to represent the Sonoma Viticultural District. He served as the Sonoma District Commissioner from the date of the Board's creation until its demise in 1894, and was President of the Board for 1889-1890.

NAPA VITI CULTURAL DISTRICT. Charles Krug, Commissioner for the Napa District, was an honored pioneer of the industry who had been making quality wine for more than twenty years at St. Helena. Krug served the District for ten years before ill health dictated his retirement.

The very capable Emil Priber succeeded him until 1893; H. W. Crabb of To-Kalon Vineyards represented the District for the last year of the Board.

SAN FRANCISCO VITICULTURAL DISTRICT. Assigned to supervise the welfare of the San Francisco District was Arpad Haraszthy, prominent San Francisco champagne maker and wine merchant. Haraszthy was succeeded by Charles Wetmore (1885-1890) and Charles Bundschu (1890-1894).

LOS ANGELES VITICULTURAL DISTRICT. Leonard J. Rose, recognized authority on winegrowing who had established his showplace vineyard estate, Sunny Slope, near Mission San Gabriel in Los Angeles in 1861, was named Commissioner of the State's largest district. Rose served until 1892 when he, no longer actively engaged in viticulture, requested the younger E. C. Bichowsky, general manager of the L. J. Rose & Co. estate since 1889, be appointed to fill his place on the Board.

SACRAMENTO VITICULTURAL DISTRICT. The Sacramento Viticultural District was represented by Yolo County grape grower Russell B. Blowers of Woodland, acknowledged to be the first vineyardist in the State to preserve grapes as raisins and to ship fresh grapes to the East Coast. ·Blowers was followed by Dr. W. S. Manlove (1887-1890) and R. D. Stephens (1891-1894), a politically minded gentleman who was Postmaster of Sacramento.

SAN JOAQUIN VITICULTURAL DISTRICT. This second-largest of the Viticultural Districts was represented by the industrious winegrower, George West, who had gained popular recognition for the wines he made at his El Pinal Winery at Stockton. West represented his District for the full duration of the Board's existence.

EL DORADO VITI CULTURAL DISTRICT. The El Dorado Viticultural District was represented by Judge George G. Blanchard (1826-1891), a vineyardist and fruit grower in Placerville who was a distinguished pioneer member of the El Dorado County bar. Upon his death in 1891,

the Board appointed Allen Towle to succeeq hjm. Viticulture in this area, the Mother _Lode country, was· slightly on the decline at the time, but there were still some sizeable wineries in Placer, El Dorado and Amador counties.

THE BOARD

Throughout the 1880s and into the early 1890s, the Commissioners faithfully served the interests of the vineyardists and winemen, and the Board's contributions to the wine industry were invaluable. Essential experiments, both in the laboratory and in the vineyard, were conducted in the study of phylloxera; reports on the habits of this destructive aphid, and the better resistant rootstocks to combat it, were disseminated. The Board translated important foreign language books and papers on grape growing and winemaking and made them available to winegrowers, while they unceasingly compiled statistics on vineyard conditions and the production and sale of wine. In 1884 they published the first State directory of winegrowers, listing approximately 6,000 names, and in 1891 published a 254-page directory listing not only the grape growers and winemakers of California, but also those east of the Rocky Mountains. The Viticultural Commissioners, the untiring voice of the California wine industry, held conventions for all to attend, and promoted California wines at national and international fairs and exhibitions. Wine depots, where the finest California wines could be obtained, were opened in major U.S. cities. The Board established a library of viticulture and enology books - the finest in the State, and at the time the only public collection of wine literature. The annual reports of the Viticultural Commissioners remain today one of the most useful and valuable information sources on the pre-Prohibition California wine industry.

The winegrowers and their new-found allies worked to improve the quality of California wines as well as to significantly increase the

quantity. Better varieties of wine grapes were promoted and planted, and improved vineyard and cellar techniques taught and practiced.

During the early 1890s, the Board of Viticultural Commissioners and the viticultural scholars at the university were embroiled in an accelerating rivalry that was to be the Board's undoing. It was the old story of who should control the interests of the industry - academia or the practical wineman. Some "short-sighted" winemen took the Board to task for the depressed condition of the industry, and attacked its existence. Others, pointing out the incalculable contributions of the Board since its founding in 1880, criticized the actions of the university and attacked Prof. Eugene Hilgard as a university politician and a "viticultural fraud." Commissioner DeTurk, in an open letter, appealed to the State legislature: "Do you want to consign California's winemen to the care of Prof. Hilgard, whose record for the past eight years in the viticultural line has not been strikingly successful? I do not hesitate to say that there is scarcely a member of our Board who has not had, in one year, more experience in practical viticulture than the entire College of Agriculture can boast of." Notwithstanding, in December 1894 the State Legislature settled the issue by passing the Langford Bill that abolished the Board of State Viticultural Commissioners and stipulated the transfer of its duties, and all effects, to the University by the end of the year 1895.

THE SONOMA VITI CULTURAL DISTRICT Comprising the counties of Sonoma, Marin, Lake, Mendo-cino, Humboldt, Del Norte, Trinity and Siskiyou

Land Area: 20,917 sq.miles I 13,386,880 acres

The history of winegrowing in the Sonoma Viticultural District began in the mission vineyards, first at Mission San Rafael in 1817, followed in 1823 at Mission San Francisco Solano de Sonoma, the last and most northern of the Spanish missions. Father Jose Altimira and his followers

mmou built a church, acquired livestock, and planted grain, fruit trees and some three thousand grape vines. However, these were not the first vines in the district. In 1817, five years after building Fort Ross, the Russians had planted grape cuttings from Peru, but apparently never pro-duced a vintage. After the secularization

of the California missions in 1834, General Mariano Vallejo tended

the Sonoma mission vineyard, as well as his own, and soon

other vineyardists fol-lowed his example.

Sonoma County, with its prime winegrowing lands in Sonoma Valley, Valley of the Moon, the Santa Rosa and Petaluma valleys, Russian River, Dry Creek and Alexander valleys, attracted capable· winemen to invest in vineyard acreage, large and small.

In a relatively short span, from 1856 to 1868, the vineyard acreage of the Sonoma District (for all practical purposes, Sonoma County) grew from ninety-three acres to over six thousand. In the 1870s and through the 1880s the District had some 7,000 acres in vineyards, second in the State and surpassed only by the Los Angeles District. Ten years of continued growth saw the figure climb to 24,500 acres in 1890, third in the State and only 400 acres less than the Napa District, but both far behind fast-growing San Joaquin District (64,000). Yet the Sonoma District clearly had the most acreage in wine grapes at this time - almost two thousand acres more than the Napa District and seventeen thousand more than San Joaquin - a respectable 27% of the State's 90,000 acres of wine grapes.

Of the other counties in the Sonoma Viticultural District, Mendocino County, north of Sonoma County, has made the most strides in vineyard planting. At the turn of the century, the county increased its vineyard acreage from 204 acres (1890) to 1,445 acres (1910), and steadily grew during the Dry years to around 8,000 acres. The acreage hovered around this number until the late 1970s when the full potential of this premium vineyard land finally began to be realized and winegrowers flocked to the county and increased plantings to some 12,000 acres by 1992. It continues to grow.

Lake County, once a part of Napa County, has been home to vineyards from the earliest days, although on a modest scale. A major obstacle in developing the otherwise hospitable valleys was the lack of transportation to ready markets. The county's largest pre-1900 acreages, averaging 1,000 acres, were from 1887 to 1893, when the famed actress, Lily Langtry, developed her sprawling 4,200-acre Guenoc

ranch and vineyards. In the mid-1970s vineyard activities once again picked up in Lake County, and by 1997 there were almost 3,900 acres in wine grapes.

Certainly, the counties north of Mendocino were not adapted for winegrowing and had no recognizable viticulture industry; nonetheless, the Board of Viticultural Commissioners was intended for state-wide representation and all counties were assigned to a district.

Between 1894 and 1920, Sonoma County remained the District's leading producer of wine grapes. Following the Prohibition years and the subsequent huge plantings in the central valleys of the State, Sonoma County, and the Sonoma Viticultural District, have remained among the top five in the State in vineyard acreage to this day, with close to 100% of its vineyards being in wine grapes.

2ND VITICULTURAL DISTRICT

Comprising the counties of Napa, Contra Costa, and Solano

Land Area: 2,3 19 sq.mi. I 1,484,160 acres

The history of California's wine industry can be traced via the northward journey of the Franciscan fathers and the establishment of their missions. The Napa Viticultural District, lacking a mission settlement in its bound-

aries, trailed the Los Angeles, Sonoma, and San Francisco districts in becoming a winegrowing region. And, until the mid-r 8 70s, the District was also behind the remote, yet bustling, El Dorado Viticul-tural District in the Sierra foothills.

However, by the late l 87os and early r 8 8os, Solano, Contra Costa, and especi-

ally Napa County had attracted a relatively large number of winegrow-

ers who planted superior varie-

11

ties, took great care and pride in their vineyards and

winemaking, and built substantial stone

wine cellars.

The legenuary Charles Krug nnu his icllow Nap<i V,1llcy Vl(1rnlrur;il pioneers of the 1870s <ind 1880s -J.). Sigri~r, Gorrlieh Grnc?.1ngn, A. L. Tubbs, H. W. Crabb, Charles Carpy, Morris Estee, nnd orhers -made remarkable strides in their plantings ::ind vintages. In 1870 <ilrnosr 3 00,000 gallons of wine and 4,000 gallons of brandy were m::idc; in

1875 over 716,000 gallons of wine and 12,000 gallons of brandy; in l 880 an impressive 2,460,000 gallons of wine and 60,000 gallons of brandy; and by 1886 the wine vintage had almost doubled to 4,470

1000

gallons, and more than 102,000 gallons of brandy were produced.

During the period from 1880 to 1890, the Napa District vineyard acreage grew from 6, 700 acres to 24,500 acres. As would be expected, Napa County accounted for the majority ofthis acreage with 18,000 acres (almost 100% wine grapes), while Solano and Contra Costa evenly shared the remaining 6,600 acres of the 1890 total. '].'he number of wine cellars in Napa County increased from forty-nine to one hundred and fifty. Of the 171,000 acres of grapes in the State at this time, the Napa District was second to San Joaquin's leading 64,300 acres (of which only 7,000 were planted to wine grapes).

Yet, phylloxera was taking its toll on the District's vineyards. Only four years later, the District total was down to 15,000 acres (only El Dorado had less), while the San Joaquin District had gained 20,000 acres. By 1904, three thousand more acres were missing from this premium winegrOwing District. The State's total vineyard acreage now reached almost 225,000 acres, with almost half being in the rampant San Joaquin District. In the next decade the Napa District climbed back to the 20,000-acre mark, yet Napa County's acreage continued to decline (9,300), while Contra Costa County (8,500) and Solano County (4, 700) more than doubled their acreage.

Following Repeal, the Napa District did not experience the same increase in vineyard acreage as the other leading districts. Not until the great wine boom of the late 1960s and early 1970s did the District see any substantial growth. In the 1990s, the District has remained in a consistent fourth or fifth place in total acreage, yet can boast that almost all of its vineyard lands are planted to premium variety wine grapes.

THE SAN FRANCISCO VITICULTURAL DISTRICT Comprising the counties of San Francisco, Alameda, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Monterey


The Franciscan friars founded missions in six of the seven counties of the San Francisco District and introduced the grape at a very early date. Yet their best efforts to establish a vineyard in San Francisco at Mission Dolores in 1776 could not overcome the unfavorable climate. The other counties in the District, on the other hand, were blessed with a very

SISKIYOU MOOOC

favorable climate and terrain for growing premium grape varieties for the finest dry wines. For 011('/ hundred years, from 1856 to 1960, the counties of Santa Clara and Alameda accounted for 75% of the District's grapevine acreage. However, with Bay Area urbanization, the five northernmost counties decreased in

acreage while the two southernmost counties of Monterey and San

Benito increased dramatically. By 1975, when the Dis-

trict had an all-time high of 42,303

vineyard acres, Monterey

owned 79%.

THE LOS ANGELES

VITICULTURAL DISTRICT Comprising the counties of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Imperial, Riverside, and San Bernardino


From the founding of the first mission at San Diego in 1769 - and the introduction of the first European grape to America - until some one hundred years later, the Los Angeles Viticultural District could lay claim to being California's foremost wine-producing region. Although the

lllKIYOU 11000(

ft grape was first planted in San Diego, it was at the pueblo of Los Angeles, one hundred miles north and twenty miles inland, that the grape first flourished commercially and its fermented juice became the source of work, income, and pleasure for the early Californios. By 1831 nearly twenty-five pioneer vineyard-

ists had planted 112 acres to grapes. In the next twenty-five years Los

Angeles County increased its vineyards to one thousand

acres, about half of the

In size, the Los Angeles Viticultural District with 48,500 square miles and 31,100,00 acres in the nine-county territory, is the largest of the seven districts. The District has been home to some of the largest vineyards in the State, with characteristically high yields per acre, particularly in San Bernardino County east of Los Angeles. This county's near-desert conditions were not conducive to growing fine wine varieties, but the miles of flat, sandy vineyard land were well-suited for sweet wine, sherry and port production. San Bernardino County waited until the 1870s for large-scale vineyard plantings; from a mere six hundred acres in 1868, the county expanded to 5,000 acres by 1877, and 9,000 acres by 1887. In the first twenty-five years of the new century, the vineyard acreage exploded to 28,000 acres, and kept climbing until it peaked at 33,000 acres in 1945. When Los Angeles urban sprawl reached this great valley, the vineyard acreage declined as the subdivisions increased.

Los Angeles County itself had large acreages of vineyard until the end of the Second World War spawned a major shift from agriculture to industry. In 1904 there were 6,800 vineyard acres that by 1914 had almost doubled; the acreage then stayed in the five to six thousand range until 194 7, when a dramatic decrease took the figure to an almost insignificant 250 acres, and even lower.

While San Bernardino County, and to some extent Riverside County, were losing their vineyards to housing tracts in the late 1960s, the counties of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara began substantial vineyard plantings in the 1970s. In a period of ten years, the two counties increased from a total of 900 acres to 11,000 acres - all in wine grapes. By the 1990s this total had reached 20,000 acres and represented more than half of the District's total grape acreage.

THE SACRAMENTO

VITICULTURAL DISTRICT Comprising the counties of Sacramento, Yolo, Sutter, Colusa, Butte, Glenn, Tehama, and Shasta


The climate and soil of the Sacramento Valley are as well suited to the production of dessert wines as the San Joaquin Valley, yet unlike its southern neighbor, the Sacramento Valley did not develop into an extensive winemaking or grape growing region.

mrnou MODOC

The Sacramento Viticultural District, however, in the late 1800s played host to the two largest vineyards in the State -the 3,800-acre vineyard at Leland Stan-ford's ranch at Vina, near Red Bluff in Tehama County, and the 2,000-acre vine-yard at Natoma, near Folsom in Sacra-mento County. These giants are but

memories today, as are most of the smaller vineyards and wineries

built soon after the discovery of gold. Yet wine growing

continues in what was once the Sacra-

Between 1856 and 1876 the Sacramento District accounted for sixteen percent of the State's vineyard acreage; from 1880 until the coming of Prohibition the District had no more than eleven percent, and it continued on the downward swing. During these years, the District total hovered in the 20,000-acre range, with the majority of the grape acreage located in Sacramento County. The highest acreage figure was 23,800 acres in 1904, with Sacramento County having 14,800 acres, Tehama County 3,500 acres, and Yolo County 3,100 acres.

By 1960 the District total was 1,100 acres of grape vines, a mere fraction of the State's total acreage of 486,000 acres. But a resurgence came in the 1970s when the acreage shot up to 7,100 acres, almost all of the plantings in wine grapes. Although only the El Dorado District trails it in the State standings, a steady growth has continued into the 1990s.

THE SAN JOAQUIN VITICULTURAL DISTRICT Comprising the counties of San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, Kings, and Kern

Land Area: 27,013 sq.miles/ 17,283,200 acres

The San Joaquin Viticultural District extends the length of the great San Joaquin Valley, from the Lodi-Stockton area in the north to Bakersfield in the south. The first vineyard in the district, though not a serious endeavor, was cultivated about ten miles northeast of Stockton by a

SISKIYOU MOOOC

group of New Yorkers who had come to California in 1849 and set out their vines the following year. The real fathers of viticulture in the valley were the West brothers. William and George,who estab-lished a nursery and vineyard at Stockton in 1852. Since the 1880s this District has the distinction of being the dessert wine

center of the California wine industry, clearly destined to become the

State's major grape-producing region. The phenominal growth

pattern set in the first ten years has remained con-

In 1880 the San Joaquin District, with 1,765 acres in vineyard, only 4% of the State total of 44,700 acres, sat in last place. (El Dorado District had three times as many acres as San Joaquin.) But, by 1890 the District, with 64,330 acres of grapes (7,050 acres wine grapes), had catapulted to first place and accounted for 38% of the State's 171,000 acres. Fresno County alone had 49,500 acres of grapes, of which almost 6,000 were wine grapes. Phylloxera had reached Fresno County by 1901, yet the incredible growth continued, and by 1918 the grape growing and winemaking production in the San Joaquin Valley surpassed all other viticultural districts in the State. (The acreage planted to wine grapes versus total wine production can be somewhat deceiving; it was not unusual for the San Joaquin Valley's mammoth wine facilities to crush all available grape varieties - table, raisin, or wine - for their fortified sweet wine production.) By 1925, the District was responsible for 72% of the total acreage planted to all types of grapes in the State, and 40% of all wine grape acreage.

The two principal wine-producing areas in the District were around the towns of Lodi in San Joaquin County and Fresno in Fresno County. Small vintages were unheard of. While Fresno County always has had, by far, the most acres of vineyard land in the District, the other counties have planted a much higher percentage to wine grapes. Yet, in 1909 Fresno County made in its twenty-seven wineries 7.5 million gallons of sweet wine, plus 150,000 gallons of dry wine and 50,000 gallons of grape juice. Twenty-nine county distilleries produced 1,200,000 gallons of brandy. The total figures for California that year were 14,300,00 gallons of sweet wine and 3,600,000 gallons of brandy.

The San Joaquin Viticultural District continued its phenominal growth during the years of Prohibition. Increasing from 176,000 vineyard acres in 1914 to 293,600 in 1920, to 445,700 in 1925, where it remained until 1975 when it climbed over the 500,000 mark (with almost 200,000 in wine grapes), the District continues in the 1990s on another steady upswing.

Land Area: 35, 738 sq.miles I 22,872,320 acres

Soon after the discovery of gold in the Sierra Nevada foothills, it was found that the small valleys of the Mother Lode were well-adapted to the growing of hay, grain, fruits and vegetables. Within a few years there were a number of vineyards planted and small wineries erected; and, as

SISKIYOU . 11000(

the mining activities prospered so did the winegrowers. The 1850s and 1860s saw the El Dorado District vineyards grow to, and remain at, near1~ix thousand acres. But as the 1880s approached, the mineral riches declined, and it was obvious to both the miners and the grape growers that their best days were behind them.

25

Yet, the area was lauded for its "wines of exquisite aroma and bouquet" by

Frona Wait in 1889. The District would see revitalized activity

after the turn of the century, with Amador County

being the grape grow-ing and wine-

making center.

COMPILING CALIFORNIA GRAPE ACREAGE STATISTICS

2..7

GRAPE ACREAGE STATISTICS

ESTIMATES OF GRAPEVINE ACREAGE have been compiled by different agencies and associations since the early 1850s. Unfortunately, early estimates were not compiled annually. Federal statistics are available through the United States Census, but are, of course, decennial. During the 1850s, 1860s and 1870s, the State Agricultural Society periodically published tables listing grape acreage in California by county, but their efforts were inconsistent. The California State Board of Equalization also collected acreage statistics, but again, these were not compiled annually. In 1890, the California Board of State Viticultural Commissioners published the first comprehensive survey of grape acreage, including a county by county directory of vineyardists.

The consistent compilation of grapevine acreage in California began in 1919 when estimates were under the control of the Crop and Livestock Reporting Service, a State agency. Then, in 1969, the California Agricultural Statistics Survey (CASS) took over this statistical task. Financed through a joint effort of the State and Federal departments of agriculture, the wine industry, the California Raisin Advisory Board and the California Table Grapes Commission, CASS continues to compile annual grapevine acreage estimates from 9,000 growers statewide. Although other acreage estimates have been collected by various State and Federal agencies between 1919 and 1992, this report utilizes the data recorded by the Crop and Livestock Reporting Service and CASS because of their accuracy.

Grape acreage estimates were obtained from the following sources:

For the years 1856-1858, 1868, 1872-1877: Transactions of the

California State Agricultural Society.

For the years 1880, 1887, 1891-1894, 1904, 1906, 1910, 1912, 1914, 1916: Reports of the State Board of Equalization. [When they seemed more reliable than those of the Board of Equalization, some estimates for 1910 were taken from the Statistical Report of the

California State Board of Agriculture for the Year 1918, which includes grape acreage for 1910.]

For the year 1890: Directory of the Grape Growers, Wine Makers

and Distillers of California, published by the California Board of State Viticultural Commissioners in 1891.

For the years 1919-1953: California Fruit and Nut Crop, Special

Publication 257, published by the Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. Between 1919 and 1953 the Service issued annual acreage estimates. This supplement by R.E. Blair, agricultural statistician for the Service, was compiled after corrections and adjustments were made in the data collected for those years. Because the supplement provides a more reliable source of data, it was used in lieu of the annual reports.

For the years 1954-1968: California Fruit and Nut Acreage

Estimates, annual reports published by the Crop and Livestock Reporting Service.

For the years 1969-1992: California Grape Acreage, the annual report issued by the California Agricultural Statistics Service.

The estimates for 1856-1858, 1868, 1872 and 1873 were given as the number of grapevines, not in acreage yields. The grapevine estimates were converted to acreage yields based on the now-standard 8' x 8' planting (681 vines per acre), and were rounded to the nearest whole number. At the time, this configuration of grapevine planting was not necessarily the standard, and there were variations in the spacing of vines, but 8' x 8' was prevalent. Since there is no means of verifying the planting formation of every vineyard, the acreage was converted according to the standard configuration to provide consistency and a basis for comparison.

The acreage estimates for 1856-1858, 1868, 1872-1877 and 1880 combine table, raisin and wine grapes into one total. For the other years, acreage estimates are broken down by grape type and variety. The acreage estimates include both bearing and non-bearing vines.

The reliability of the older acreage yields remains suspect as

there were no means available to verify the accuracy of data collection; in addition, the early records were compiled and recorded by a not-always-neat hand. This is particularly evident in the records from the State Board of Equalization. Their figures were included when they seemed consistent with the trends in grape growing in the counties, and were helpful in filling the gaps left by the lack of alternative data.

Some acreage estimates were not included in this report. Whether because of typographic errors, or mistakes made during data gathering, the figures were either unlikely for that county at that time, or were glaring errors. For example, the State Board of Equalization reported 64,044 acres of grapevines in Siskiyou County in 1893-an impossibility.

It should be noted that the acreage estimates compiled by the various agencies and associations often omit grapevine acreage for various counties during any given year. This does not necessarily mean that grapevines were not, or are not currently, cultivated in that county. Grapes have been grown in every county of California, a fact that makes California unique in the history of grape growing and winemaking in the United States.

The regions of California not particularly suited to the cultivation of grapes have often been neglected in surveys when acreage falls below the level of inclusion. The collection of acreage estimates before 1900 was no doubt hampered by the lack of transportation to, and the difficulty of communicating with, the less populated areas of the State. Although the methods used to compile data are now more sophisticated, parcels of less than five acres were often not included in the data, and there are many small vineyards that remain unrecorded. In fact, smaller acreage estimates are often "carried over" from one year to the next if time or financial resources preclude investigation. This accounts for some of the counties that list the same meager acreage for an extended period of time. For example, Siskiyou County is listed as having two acres in grapevines for the years between 1937 and 1962.

3o

CASS carried over the figure until notified that sometime during that period the grapevines had been pulled.

This statistical survey presents the grapevine acreage planted in California between 1856 and 1992 as it was reported and presents the total table, raisin and wine grape acreage. As estimates, they do not represent a completely accurate accounting of the acreage planted to grapevines, but they do illustrate important trends in the history of grape growing in California. Although data concerning the acreage planted to different types and varieties of grapes is not included as part of the acreage total by county, acreage planted to wine grapes has been compiled for specific years.

The data has been arranged into three separate sections: CALIFORNIA VITI CULTURAL DISTRICT AND STATE GRAPE ACREAGE

STATISTICS, 1856-1992; YEARLY GRAPE ACREAGE STATISTICS, 1856-1992; and CALIFORNIA COUNTY GRAPE ACREAGE STATISTICS, 1856-1992.

Every effort has been made to present accurate acreage estimates-any errors are entirely my own.

MARIN COUN1Y

- Created February 18, 1850 -- County Seat: San Rafael -

- Land Area 529 sq.miles I 338,560 acres -

The origin of the county name remains unclear. In 1775, the Spanish navigator, Juan Manuel de Ayala, named what is now San Pablo Bay for the patron saint of his ship, Bahia de Nuestra Seiiora de/ Rosario la Marinera, and two islands in the bay became known by the name Marin. General Vallejo claimed the islands were named for a great Indian chief, but the story is fictional. There was an Indian named Marin who served as a boatman at Mission San Rafael, but he was not a chief.

Mendocino County

Created February 18, 1850 County Seat: Ukiah


The county was named after Cape Mendocino, a promontory known to mariners in the late 16th century. Presumably named in honor of a Spanish viceroy, Mendoza, it is not certain if the honor belongs to Antonio de Mendoza or to Lorenzo Suarez de Mendoza, both viceroys of New Spain.

SONOMA COUNTY

- Created February 18, 1850 -- Land Area 1,577sq.miles/1,009,280 acres -

- County Seat: Santa Rosa -

The common interpretation of the name, "valley of the moon," is poetic, but not authentic. The name is derived from sonom, the Wintun word for "nose." Legend tells it that the early Spanish explorers named the village and surrounding territory after the Indian leader whose nickname, "Chief Nose," described his prominent facial feature.
