The Cosumnes River AVA is an American Viticultural Area located in both Sacramento County and San Joaquin County, California. Located mostly in Sacramento County, the region is part of the larger Lodi AVA and includes a portion of the lower Cosumnes River. Elevations in the AVA range from about 5feet to 48feet above sea level.[3] At these low elevations, frequent fog keeps the Cosumnes River AVA cooler than other regions of Lodi.[2]
