Arvin, CA 93203

The Grapevine is an unincorporated community located in Kern County, California, at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley. Situated adjacent to Interstate 5, it primarily serves as a hub for travelers and roadside services.

At an elevation of 1,499 feet, the village is nestled at the foot of the Grapevine Canyon, known for its grade through the Tejon Pass. The community takes its name from the canyon, which was named after the wild grapes that grow along the original road. Despite its small size, the Grapevine is a notable landmark and a popular stop for those traveling along the I-5 corridor.
