Guenoc is a former settlement in Lake County, California.[1] It was located in the Coyote Valley 4 miles (6 km) northeast of Middletown,[2] at an elevation of 968 feet (295 m).[1]
Guenoc was founded in 1866.[2] Its first store opened in 1866.[2] The Guenoc region was planted with vineyards in the 1880s, where Burgundy varietals were grown. Thoroughbred horses were also raised in the area, where actress Lillie Langtry lived for a time on a still-extant ranch.[3] In 2020, the Guenoc Valley was approved as the site of a large rural mixed-use housing development, the Guenoc Valley Project.[4]
A post office operated at Guenoc from 1867 to 1880.[2]
