Arizona Wine Growers Association
The Arizona Wine Growers Association (AWGA) serves grape growers and winemakers in Arizona, allying its members for representation, promotion and education. The association strives to advance with integrity the sustainable growth and production of authentic Arizona-grown wines.
Verde Valley AVA
The proposed AVA would cover some 130,000 acres within the Verde Valley (roughly 200 square miles) situated in Yavapai County, Arizona. It includes the communities of Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Jerome, Cornville and Camp Verde. The Verde Valley AVA is defined by unique physical factors such as topography, soils, geology and climate.
