Abstract:
"Set apart by climate, soil and geography, each of our grape growing regions produces wines that are just as distinct." North Carolina has a number of distinct American Viticultural Areas that produce award-winning wines. Discussed are Yadkin Valley, Swan Creek, Haw River Valley, Upper Hiwassee Highlands, Appalachian High Country, Crest of the Blue Ridge and Tryon Foothills. These regions are federally recognized areas where climate conditions affect the way grapes are grown.
