Our own Clear Lake is an ancient wonder! As one of the most geologically unique lakes on the planet, Clear Lake, California was formed on top of a volcano deep below the earth’s surface. Some estimate its age at 480,000 years old!
As one of our region’s visitor highlights, this lake offers natural beauty, a place to enjoy water sports, and has been voted the “Best Bass Fishing” lake by @bass_nation in the U.S. multiple times. And it’s just a 2 hour drive from the greater Bay Area and Sacramento!

When you visit Lake County, California wine country, you’ll enjoy a different kind of experience. You won’t find expensive tastings, and tourists crowded into limousines. We pride ourselves on being “country casual”— with an unpretentious, approachable style.
Our tasting rooms will welcome you in a pair of jeans, and most allow your well behaved canine companion to tag along (call wineries ahead to ask their dog policy). You may be talking to the winemaker across the tasting bar. And most of all— our award-winning sips will surprise you!
So grab some friends, and come discover for yourselves what makes our Lake County Wine region so special! Link to our wineries in our Story 🍷
Last night’s 34th annual Christmas In The Country Parade in downtown Kelseyville was the biggest and best yet! This festive holiday light parade is a celebration of small town pride on display for all to enjoy. Kudos to the hard working team at Kelseyville Business Association who coordinated and executed this beautiful parade. You knocked it out of the park!
