ADVOCACY AND SUPPORT GROUPS
"Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers Alliance"

"Sonoma County Winegrape Commission"

"Sonoma County Wineries Association" lists 13 sub-appellations within it. But it is a more confusing listing system than within Napa County. There are two organizations that appear to be major advocacy bodies representing many Sonoma County wineries.

First -- Click >>: Sonoma Grape VineThis site lists sub-appellations of Sonoma County which are:Alexander Valley (28 members listed),Bennett Valley(2), Chalk Hill (2), Dry Creek Valley(28), Green Valley (10), Knights Valley (2), Northern Sonoma (Includes,Alexander Vally, Chalk Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Knights Valley, Rockpile and Russian River Valley all totallying 108 members),Rockpile (0), Russian River Valley (50),Sonoma Carneros (22), Sonoma Coast (5), Sonoma Mountain (3) and Sonoma Valley (42) These total 194 wineries. But, when one goes to see the member wineries, the URL changes to Sonoma County Grape Growers Assoc.and only 31 wineries are listed with a link to their individual web site. However, if you click onto the header "Wine Cellar" it takes you to another page where you can click onto the header "Wine Associations" which takes you to a list of seven sites specific to the following geographical AVA regions(see Sonoma Sub-Appellations below):Alexander Valley Winegrowers, Bennett Valley Grapegrowers, Rockpile AVA (but it is not a regular Web site), Russian River Valley Wineries, Wine growers of Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers Alliance and Sonoma County Vintners

Second -- Click>>: Sonoma County Vintners This site lists sub-appellations of Sonoma County which are:Alexander Valley (25 members listed),Bennett Valley(2), Chalk Hill (1), Dry Creek Valley(20), Green Valley (10), Knights Valley (2), Rockpile (0), Russian River Valley (31),Sonoma Carneros (2), Sonoma Coast (5), Sonoma Mountain (3) and Sonoma Valley (15) These total 110 wineries. .....

As you can see, there are many differences in the totals between these two Sonoma winery advocacy groups.
