Tennessee

Tennessee, with its rolling hills and fertile valleys, is an emerging winegrowing region in the southeastern United States. Spanning diverse terrains from the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River, Tennessee's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) offer a rich variety of terroir. The warm, humid climate is tempered by the cooling influences of rivers and elevation changes, allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. Vineyards located in cooler, higher elevations thrive with delicate, aromatic grape varieties, while those in the warmer, lower regions produce bigger, bolder wines. This diversity in climate and terrain enables Tennessee to craft a wide array of wine styles, reflective of the state's unique geographic character.
