Oregon
The state of Oregon in the United States has established
an international reputation for its production of wine. Oregon has several different growing regions
within the state's borders which are well-suited to the cultivation of grapes;
additional regions straddle the border between Oregon and the states of
Washington and Idaho. Wine making dates back
to pioneer times in the 1840s, with commercial production beginning in the
1960s.
American Viticultural Areas entirely within the state
include the Willamette Valley, Southern Oregon, Umpqua Valley, and Rogue Valley
AVAs. Parts of the Columbia Gorge, Walla Walla Valley, and Snake River Valley
AVAs lie within Oregon. Pinot Noir and
Pinot Gris are the top two grapes grown, with over 16,000 tons (14,515 metric
tons) harvested in 2005. As of 2005,
Oregon wine makers produced over 1.5 million cases combined.
