West Virginia

West Virginia, with its rugged mountains and scenic river valleys, is a distinctive winegrowing region in the heart of Appalachia. Spanning from the Ohio River to the Allegheny Highlands, West Virginia's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) showcase a diverse array of terroir. The cool, fresh air from the Appalachian Mountains plays a major role in moderating West Virginia's vineyards, providing a temperate climate that allows grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the higher elevations, producing elegant and nuanced wines, while further inland, the warmer valleys support the cultivation of bigger, bolder wines. This variety of conditions allows West Virginia to produce a wide range of wine styles, each reflective of the state's unique growing regions.
