A Historic Journey through California Wine Month
Every September, wine enthusiasts celebrate California Wine Month. This event showcases the finest wines from more than 4,200 wineries across the Golden State. But how did this tradition begin? Let's delve into the history of California Wine Month.
The first winery in California was established in 1769 by Spanish missionaries. They used indigenous grapes for sacramental wines. The industry flourished over the centuries, eventually making California a renowned wine region. The idea of dedicating an entire month to celebrate California's wine industry was introduced in 2005. This initiative was taken by the Wine Institute and the California Association of Winegrape Growers. Since then, it has evolved into a beloved tradition, attracting wine lovers from all corners of the globe.
