Cape May Peninsula AVA

Lehigh Valley is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) area located in the Lehigh Valley region of southeastern Pennsylvania encompasses portions of Lehigh, Northampton, Berks, Schuylkill, Carbon, and Monroe Counties, the towns between Jim Thorpe to Easton, the landforms of Schuylkill River Valley and the Brodhead and Swatara Creek watersheds to the west. It was established as the nation's 188th and the state's fifth wine appellation on March 11, 2008, by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury after reviewing the petition submitted by John Skrip III, chairman of the Lehigh Wine Trail Appellation Committee, proposing the viticultural area named "Lehigh Valley." The 1.2-million-acre (1,888 sq mi) viticultural area is a long valley bordered by Second Mountain to the north and a loose range of mountains known as South Mountain to the south. Measuring approximately 92 miles (148 km) in length on the northern border by about 56 miles (90 km) in length on the southern front. The eastern border measures nearly 24 miles (39 km) and the western border equates to approximately 28 miles (45 km). The area is bounded by the Delaware River in the east and the Berks-Lebanon county line in the west located approximately 45 miles (72 km) north-northwest of Philadelphia and does not overlap any other viticultural area. The wine region cultivates 230 acres (93 ha) of vineyards, planted with several Vitis vinifera and French-American hybrid grape varieties. Lehigh Valley climate is said to be comparable to the cool climates of Central and Northern Europe, favoring the production of French-American hybrid grapes, namely Chambourcin. Between fifteen and twenty percent of the wine produced in Pennsylvania is made from grapes grown in the Lehigh Valley region. The region has a humid continental climate (Dfa-Dfb in higher areas) and the plant hardiness zone range is 6a to 7a.

Beginning in 1609, European explorers purchased land from, and contributed to the decline of, the indigenous people. The county was named for Cornelius Jacobsen Mey, a Dutch captain who explored and charted the area from 1620 to 1621, and established a claim for the province of New Netherland.

The other 16 municipalities in the county, including two no longer in existence, were established between 1827 and 1928. In 1863, the first railroad in the county opened, which carried crops from the dominant farming industry. Railroads later led to the popularity of the county's coastal resorts. The need for improved automotive access to the county led to the development of the Garden State Parkway, which opened in 1956.
