New York Wine Country

Get to know New York's Wine Growing Regions

About 3,000 miles across the country from California, Washington, and Oregon, where the majority of U.S. wine is produced, New York State is enticing wine lovers with its cool-climate grapes and family-run wineries. New York wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of New York. New York ranks third in grape production by volume after California and Washington. The state has four major wine-growing regions, including Lake Erie AVA on the western end of the state, the Finger Lakes AVA in the west-central area, the Hudson River Region AVA in eastern New York, and the eastern end of the Long Island AVA. New York has a long history of wine production, boasting both America’s first bonded winery, Pleasant Valley, in the Finger Lakes, as well as its oldest continually operating winery, Brotherhood, located in the Hudson River Valley. New York is poised to become known as a world-class producer of Riesling wines.
