Santa Clara Wine Clubs...
From the Valley of the Heart's Delight**

Familiarly known as Silicon Valley, did you know that Santa Clara Valley was the first region to produce premium wines in California?

In fact, the rich soils of this American viticultural area proved fertile ground for the planting of European grape varietals, as early as the Gold Rush era.

Today, most of the vineyards in the region are located west of the mountains of Santa Cruz. Naturally, the many local wineries spread across these beautiful parts are home to many different versions of the Santa Clara wine club.
