Region:


Ohio

Ohio, with its rolling hills and fertile valleys nestled along the shores of Lake Erie and the Ohio River, is a diverse and historic winegrowing region in the American Midwest. The state's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) are influenced by the moderating effects of its water bodies, which help temper the climate, allowing for an extended growing season. This climatic moderation is critical for the slow, full maturation of grapes, enabling them to develop rich flavors and balanced acidity. Vineyards situated in the cooler, lakeside regions excel in producing elegant, aromatic wines, while the warmer, more sheltered inland areas of Ohio are known for producing fuller, more robust varieties.
