Below are several California wine country maps created using Google My Maps — Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, Alexander Valley, Lodi, Paso Robles, and El Dorado County. Each one is a companion for exploring tastings, cellar tours, and the vintners behind the glass.
Google My Maps is available to both consumer Gmail accounts and Google Workspace users. It allows for mass importing winery locations from a spreadsheet, or manually adding each winery with details about wine production, vintners, and appellations.
When locations on a Google My Map are imported from a spreadsheet, there is no link to standard Google Maps available. However, when a winery is manually added, a link from the winery location to Google Maps is preserved — useful for reviews, photos, and directions.
Napa Valley
This map was created from a spreadsheet downloaded from the Napa Wine Project. Wineries without a physical address or P.O. box have been excluded, along with a handful of outliers beyond the valley's immediate vicinity.
Click any pin to see a winery's address, website, and phone number.

Sonoma Valley
Sonoma Valley — also called the Valley of the Moon — is regarded as the birthplace of the California wine industry, and it is the closest collection of wineries to San Francisco.
The valley encompasses five American Viticultural Areas: Los Carneros, Sonoma Valley, Sonoma Mountain, Moon Mountain, and Bennett Valley. Click any wine-glass pin and a Google Maps panel slides out; from there, follow the "View in Google Maps" link to read reviews, see photographs, and get directions for tasting and cellar tours.

Alexander Valley
Alexander Valley sits in northern Sonoma County, with the Russian River threading through its heart. Click any wine-glass pin: a left-hand sliding panel displays links to the winery's website, to Google Maps, and a small gallery — up to ten photographs showcasing production facilities and vintners at work.

Lodi
The Lodi AVA lies in the Central Valley of California, north of Stockton and south of Sacramento. This map offers nearly seventy reasons to get "stuck in Lodi again" — wandering the tasting rooms, cellars, and century-old Zinfandel blocks where vintners craft memorably opinionated wines.

Paso Robles
These wineries were originally drawn from the Paso Robles Wine Country directory.
El Dorado County
East of Sacramento, where the valley floor climbs into the Sierra Nevada, El Dorado County traces its wine history back to the Gold Rush — and its modern revival to Boeger Winery's first vintage in 1973.
The El Dorado AVA, established in 1983, is one of the few American appellations defined almost entirely by elevation, with vineyards planted between roughly 1,200 and 3,500 feet. Within it, the smaller Fair Play AVA climbs higher still. Cool mountain air drains off the peaks each night, letting Zinfandel, Syrah, Marsanne, and Roussanne ripen slowly on decomposed granite and volcanic soils.
Around Placerville, the tasting rooms sit quietly among orchards and pines.
