The table below summarizes all approved American Viticultural Areas in alphabetical order. Clicking on the hyperlinked name will query the U.S. government printing office for the current regulation. Please be patient - it may take a few moments for the page to load. Newer AVAs will not be in the GPO database - but you can obtain additional information by going to the FILES section to review the final rules that were published in the Federal Register. When downloading PDF files on a Windows system, you will need to rename the file. Please remember to use the "*.PDF" naming convention when renaming the file so that the file can be properly associated with the Acrobat reader.
