Napa County spans roughly 30 miles in length and 5 miles in width, flanked by the Mayacamas Mountains to the west and the Vaca Range to the east. This area includes a wide range of vineyard sites at varying elevations, not all of which fall within the official [[Napa Valley AVA]]<ref>Johnson & Robinson, ''The World Atlas of Wine'', 8th ed., Mitchell Beazley, 2019, ISBN 978-1784724030.</ref>. The county encompasses several microclimates, influenced by altitude, fog intrusion from San Pablo Bay, and diurnal temperature variation.
