Illinois First AVA - Shawnee Hills
Shawnee Hills AVA in southern Illinois was recognized on November 29, 2006 by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). As such, it becomes the state's first AVA, effective December 27, 2006. As it is for all AVAs, the designation now allows producers to include the AVA-designation on grape-based wine labels when 85 percent or more of the volume is derived from grapes grown within the delimited area. Additionally, wineries within the AVA will, for the first time, be allowed to use the term "Estate Bottled" for wines produced on the same property as grapes are grown.

Illinois topography indicates that most of Illinois, north of Carbondale, was glaciated. Shawnee Hills was not and therefore has higher elevation, with hilly ridges at 800 to 1,000 feet elevation. The AVA is bordered by the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and spans an 80-mile east-west corridor in southern Illinois along an unglaciated land ridge which runs 20 miles north to south. TTB’s final ruling document recognizing the Shawnee Hills area as an AVA.
