Haw River Valley AVA
Haw River Valley is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) in North Carolina, United States. It was established as the nation's 192nd and the state's third appellation on March 30, 2009 by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury after reviewing the petition submitted by Patricia McRitchie of McRitchie Associates, LLC, on behalf of its local grape growers and winemakers, proposing a viticultural area named "Haw River Valley." The AVA was established after Yadkin Valley and Swan Creek viticultural areas within the Yadkin Valley region.
