Southern Oregon AVA

The Southern Oregon AVA (American Viticultural Area) is a designated wine-growing region in southern Oregon, recognized for its unique climate and soil conditions that produce diverse and high-quality wines. Encompassing parts of Josephine, Jackson, and parts of nearby counties, it benefits from a combination of mountain influences, weather variations, and volcanic soils, supporting a range of grape varieties including Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Riesling.
