Dos Rios is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in northern Mendocino County, California. It was established on October 13, 2005 by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury after reviewing a petition submitted by Ralph Jens Carter of Sonoma, California, proposing a viticultural area in northern Mendocino County named "Dos Rios" which is Spanish for "two rivers." The Template:Cvt viticultural area encompasses portions of the canyons containing the confluence of the Eel River and the Middle Fork of the Eel River located approximately Template:Cvt north of Ukiah, Template:Cvt east of the Pacific Ocean, and Template:Cvt north of the northern boundary of the established North Coast viticultural area. The Dos Rios viticultural area encompasses portions of the canyons containing the two rivers. Currently, Script error: No such module "convert". of commercial vineyards are cultivated within the AVA, with the potential for additional plantings. The marine breezes blowing through the canyons of the viticultural area moderate temperatures, making the Dos Rios region cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter than regions to the east that have a more continental climate. The frost-free growing season varies from 125 days to 250 days annually.
Dos Rios soils are well-drained to excessively well-drained loams, sandy loams, and gravelly loams that are deep to very deep. These soils are categorized as poor, with coarse texture and limited water retention. They are weathered from sandstone, siltstone, schist and greywacke which are rich in mineral nutrients. Only one winery, Vin de Tevis, currently operates within the viticultural area boundaries.[1]
