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 AVA's may not be in the GPO database. Users may
want to review the AVA files section to obtain the final rule for these
AVA's 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.
