USA Today 10 Best Wine Regions

In August 2021, USA Today ranked the Texas Hill Country #3 in its 
Readers’ Choice Award for Best Wine Regions in the U.S.

While California undoubtedly produces excellent wine, it’s got stiff competition these days. North America is home to more than 250 grape-growing regions. We asked a panel of wine industry experts to pick their favorite North American wine regions.

The top 10 winners in the category Best Wine Region are as follows:

Walla Walla Valley – Washington

Finger Lakes – New York

Texas Hill Country – Texas

Temecula Valley – California

Valle de Guadalupe – Baja California

Dahlonega Plateau – Georgia

Verde Valley – Arizona

A panel of experts partnered with 10Best editors to pick the initial nominees, and the top 10 winners were determined by popular vote.
