The table below summarizes all approved American Viticultural Areas in alphabetical order. Effective dates and acreage are also provided. 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 may not be in the GPO database. Users may want to review the AVA files section to obtain the final rule for these AVAs 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.
