The Kanawha River Valley AVA is an American Viticultural Area located in the watershed of the Kanawha River in West Virginia, between the city of Charleston and the Ohio border. The wine appellation includes 64000acres in portions of Cabell, Jackson, Kanawha, Mason, and Putnam counties. A portion of the western border of the AVA follows the Ohio River, but does not cross into Ohio.[1] The Kanawha River Valley AVA is part of the much larger Ohio River Valley AVA. The hardiness zone is mainly 6b.[3]
