The summit of Sonoma Mountain stands at 2,463 ft and offers expansive views of the Pacific Ocean to to the west and the Sonoma Valley to the east. Until roughly twelve million years ago, this location was part of the Pacific Ocean seabed. In the Miocene era a massive period of uplift formed the volcanically based Sonoma Mountains as well as the Mayacamas Mountains to the east. The Sonoma Mountain AVA is one of the smallest in Sonoma County at only 667 vineyard acres. The AVA, american viticultural area, extends up the eastern slopes of Sonoma Mountain to almost 1,700 feet (520 m) in elevation. Laurel Glen Vineyard ranges in elevation from 850 to 1,100 feet.
