Welcome To The McMinnville AVA

The McMinnville AVA lies due west of the town of McMinnville, Oregon, in the Coast Range Foothills of Yamhill County. This AVA is the most westerly of all Oregon AVAs and is geologically and climatically very different from any other in the Willamette Valley. An AVA or “American Viticultural Area” is defined as a delimited, grape-growing region distinguishable by unique geographical features and recognized by the Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco as having unique characteristics.

The AVA is comprised of eight major wineries including Brittan Vineyards, Coeur de Terre Vineyard, Coleman Vineyard, J Wrigley Vineyard, Maysara Winery, Noble Pig, Yamhill Valley Vineyards and Younberg Hill Vineyards & Inn. Additionally, several vineyards are located in the AVA that supply fruit to some of the most prestigious wineries in Oregon. These include Bellevue Cross Vineyard, Hyland Vineyard, Meredith Mitchell Vineyard and Sunnyridge Vineyard to name a few.
