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 AVA's 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.
