Whether you are enjoying a romantic getaway, or balancing family fun with wine country explorations, Lake County offers everything you need to enjoy a rich exciting change of pace.

With a long history of growing grapes, Lake County’s modern wine industry features wineries with tasting rooms, Kendall-Jackson, Steele Wines, Wildhurst and Fetzer to name but a few. For its hospitality, Lake County offers a blend of wine country experience with a diversity of cultural opportunities that are unparalleled. And the litany of top-notch concerts of popular music at Konocti Harbor Resort, draws thousands monthly to a unique Wine Country value-added destination.

Located a convenient 2 hours from both the San Francisco Bay area and Sacramento, Lake County is home to 60,000 people. Lakeport, the county seat, offers small town ambience complete with restaurants, lodging facilities, a variety of retail businesses and galleries.

Located just minutes from downtown, Victorian Village sits on the shore of Clear Lake, the largest natural lake in California.

The lake also offers more then 60 square miles of surface area for water skiing, wakeboarding, jet skiing and sailing.

Lake County offers a myriad of outdoor activities in addition to all of the water sports. Hiking and camping, cycling and jogging, tennis and golf can all be enjoyed year round. And, in the summer, enjoy stock car races, the concerts in library park, the water ski races and in the fall, sea plane fly-in. It is truly a home for all seasons.
