In the late 1970s, the wine industry began to explode in Northern California’s Sonoma Valley. Jim and Tami Lago moved their sign business from nearby Santa Rosa, California, back to their hometown of Healdsburg in 1990—right before the wine country tourists started to arrive. For the past 35 years, they’ve made signs for the vineyards and wineries as they sprung up.
A vineyard’s sign must help draw people in to taste and buy wine—which keeps them buying it when they get home. Many wine-related businesses are very image conscious and don’t mind spending extra money to get a sign that stands out from the rest. “Design ideas from California’s wine country” will give you plenty of effective layouts, cool materials, interesting shapes and mountings to inspire your own signs.
