12 Wineries Have Been Damaged By Napa, Sonoma Fires So Far

As the Northern California wildfires continue to ravage wine country, reports of wineries being damaged and even destroyed have been confirmed by property owners. The fires, which have claimed at least 17 lives and damaged 140,000 acres of land, are still burning despite the tireless efforts of fire teams.

A complete list of wineries damaged and destroyed has not been created, as several owners have not yet filed any sort of claim regarding the state of their properties. Luckily, social media and other media outlets have been able to provide us with data. Here is what we know so far:

In Napa County, Signorello Vineyard has had its winery completely destroyed, though Fortune has reported that there are indications that the vineyard may have survived.
