'''Virginia Wine''' is the wine produced in the U.S. state of [[Virginia]]. Wine has been produced in the area since the early days of European colonization in the 17th century. Today, Virginia is the fifth largest wine-producing state in the U.S.

==History==
The history of Virginia wine dates back to the early 17th century, when English settlers at [[Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown]] attempted to cultivate European grape varieties. The venture was ultimately unsuccessful due to various factors, including disease and unfamiliar climate conditions.

In the 19th century, [[Thomas Jefferson]], an avid wine enthusiast, attempted to establish a wine industry in Virginia. Despite his efforts, Jefferson's vineyards did not produce a successful wine crop.

The modern Virginia wine industry began to take shape in the late 20th century. In 1976, the [[Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services]] established the Virginia Winegrowers Advisory Board, marking a new era for Virginia wine.

==Wine Regions==
Virginia has seven American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), which are designated wine grape-growing regions in the United States. These include the [[Shenandoah Valley AVA]], [[Monticello AVA]], and [[Northern Neck George Washington Birthplace AVA]].

==Wine Varieties==
Virginia is known for its diverse range of wine varieties. The most widely planted varieties are [[Cabernet Franc]], [[Merlot]], [[Chardonnay]], and [[Viognier]]. Virginia is also known for its production of [[Norton (grape)|Norton]], a native American grape variety.

==Virginia Wine Industry==
The Virginia wine industry has grown significantly in recent years. As of 2020, there are over 300 wineries in Virginia, making it the fifth largest wine-producing state in the U.S. The industry contributes over $1.37 billion annually to the Virginia economy.
