High Valley AVA is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in the eastern part of Lake County California. True to its name the valley is situated on high elevations ranging from 1600 feet (490 m) to 3000 feet (910 m) but it actually encompasses two distinct growing regions the valley floor and the hillsides. The cool marine breezes are consistently sifting into the valley keeping the valley cooler than the other appellations in Lake County.
