|discussion=<p><i>Vitis californica</i> occurs in central and northern California (from San Luis Obispo to Inyo counties north) to southern Oregon. It is variable and intergrades with <i>V. girdiana</i> in southern California, and hybridizes with both <i>V. girdiana</i> and <i>V. vinifera</i>, often making identification difficult.</p>
