American Viticultural Areas (AVA) – afgrænsede vindyrkningsområder godkendt af TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) i 27 CFR part 9. En AVA er en ren geografisk oprindelsesbetegnelse: den regulerer ikke druesorter, udbytte eller vinifikation, og USA har ingen officiel kvalitetsklassifikation. Står en AVA på etiketten, skal mindst 85 % af vinen stamme fra druer dyrket inden for AVA'ens grænser (27 CFR § 4.25(e)(3)). AVA'er kan ligge inden i hinanden (fx Oakville i Napa Valley i North Coast); hierarkiet her følger UC Davis AVA Project («within»), og hvor en AVA ligger i flere, er den placeret under det nærmeste fælles overområde. Amts-appellationer (fx Sonoma County, Santa Barbara County) er grupper, ikke AVA'er.

Officielle grænsepolygoner findes i UC Davis-projektet (kort er ikke oprettet endnu).
