Happy Appellation Day! Today we celebrate the designation of the very first American Viticultural Area (AVA). The first AVA in the United States was awarded to Augusta, Missouri on June 20, 1980. Seven California districts and one in Oregon had filed applications with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; however, the honor went to the 15 square mile area surrounding Augusta. The bureau cited the unique soil, climate and wines, as well as Augusta’s long history as one of America’s oldest and foremost grape and wine districts.

To celebrate the Augusta AVA and Appellation Day it is time to plan a road trip! Take a look at all the Augusta region has to offer and use our interactive trip planners to explore all of Missouri Wine Country!
