American Wine Regions

From the rolling hills of Napa Valley in California to the historic vineyards of Virginia, every state in the U.S. offers a unique wine-producing experience. This diversity reflects the rich mix of climates, geographies, and cultures that define the American wine landscape.

You can find wine in every state!

It may come as a surprise, but every state in the U.S. boasts its own wineries, each adapting to their local environments in innovative ways. Whether it's the cold-resistant hybrids of Minnesota, the desert-adapted vines of Arizona, or the muscadine varieties of the deep South, American winemakers have embraced their local terroirs, producing distinctive wines that reflect the character of their regions.

Understanding AVAs: American Viticultural Areas

An American Viticultural Area (AVA) is a designated wine grape-growing region in the United States distinguishable by geographic features, with boundaries defined by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). These areas are based on specific geographic features that influence the type of grapes grown, thereby affecting the taste and quality of the wine. There are over 200 AVAs across the country, each representing a unique climate, soil type, elevation, and other geographical characteristics that contribute to the distinctiveness of the wines produced there.

Below, you will find the wine regions of each state, highlighting key AVAs and key cities where you can find great wine. Whether you are planning a visit or simply looking to learn more about U.S. wines, you will find valuable insights into the varied, vibrant world of American viticulture.
