Virginia

Virginia, with its rich historical heritage and varied landscapes, is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions on the East Coast. Spanning from the Atlantic coastline to the Appalachian Mountains, Virginia's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) encompass a wide array of terroirs. The cool breezes from the Atlantic and the higher elevations of the mountains play a major role in moderating Virginia's vineyards, providing a balanced climate that allows grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the coastal and mountainous regions, producing elegant and nuanced wines, while further inland, the warmer valleys support the cultivation of bigger, bolder wines. This range of conditions allows Virginia to produce a wide variety of wine styles, reflective of its unique and diverse growing regions.
