Blue Canyon

Every living thing in Monterey County is directly influenced by the waters of the Monterey Bay. Hidden beneath the surface is an enormous submarine canyon, sixty miles long and two miles deep. Comparable in size and depth to its more visible counterpart in Arizona, this geologic wonder has been nicknamed the Blue Grand Canyon. Situated less that 100 yards off the shoreline of the Monterey Bay, this deep canyon provides a climactic pathway connecting the ocean to all four wine growing regions that extend down the Salinas Valley.
