        Welcome to Lake County! Just two hours by car from the San Francisco Bay Area, the Sacramento Valley, and the Pacific Coast, Lake County is known for its spectacular beauty, headliner concerts, unsurpassed recreation, and fine wines. Nestled between three of the most famous wine areas in the United States - Mendocino, Sonoma, and Napa counties - Lake County is fast becoming a destination winetasting region and has been number three in the country for winegrape sales over the past two years.

        Lake County keeps a full calendar of events and plentiful activities throughout the year, with distinct seasons to support them all. With its untarnished landscapes, friendly communities, affordability, and Clear Lake - the largest natural freshwater lake in California and possibly the oldest in North America - Lake County is not only a great vacation destination, but also the choice of thousands as a relocation destination.
