Benmore Valley is an American Viticultural Area located in southwestern Lake County, California. The valley is named for Benjamin Moore, a local 19th century cattle rustler. The valley is a high depression in the mountains of southwestern Lake County, and is much cooler than surrounding areas.

The TTB filing in 1991 mentioned 125 acres of Chardonnay.[1] Most of the grapes last produced there were used by Geyser Peak Winery.[2]

As of February 2018, there are no wineries or planted vineyards left in the AVA, which is no longer marketed by Lake County winegrape growers.[3] The main crop in the area is now cannabis.[4]
