TREAS/TTB RIN: 1513-AC97 Publication ID: Spring 2023 
Title: Establishment of the Contra Costa Viticultural Area and Modification of the Central Coast and San Francisco Bay Viticultural Areas 
Abstract:

In response to a petition for rulemaking submitted on behalf of industry members, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau proposes to establish the 167,146-acre Contra Costa viticultural area in Contra Costa County, California. TTB also proposes to expand the boundaries of the established Central Coast and San Francisco Bay AVAs to entirely encompass the Contra Costa AVA. The use of AVA names on wine labels, which is voluntary, allows vintners to better describe the origin of their wine and consumers to better identify the wines they may purchase.
