Seiad Valley - Wine Region of the Day

Seiad Valley by Gretchen Miller Neuman for Qorkz.


Seiad Valley received its designation as an AVA in 1994. Located on 2,248 acres in Siskiyou County, Seiad Valley is California's northernmost appellation and is found along the banks of the Klamath River. The soil in Seiad Valley is alluvial in nature, and the growing region sits between 700 and 3,000 feet above sea level. The region is heavily dotted with boulders and rocky terrain. There are currently no wineries producing in the Seiad Valley.  The one winery that was located there closed after residents objected to a tasting room in their town.
