Visiting Grand Canyon
The United States is home to the world’s most important wine market. But how many domestic wineries annually produce wine within the USA?
A recent study from Wines & Vines magazine tabulated the results and found that there are 8,391 wineries in North America, with 7,762 of those located in the United States, 568 of those located in Canada (primarily British Columbia and Ontario) and 61 in Mexico.
And the number of wineries in North America continues to grow at an impressive annual rate. Every year, the number of U.S. wineries increases by just over 4%. And, even more impressively, U.S. wine production is actually growing at an even faster pace of 6.3%.
It’s perhaps no surprise that California is the leading state in the nation in terms of wine production, with 3,674 wineries. That’s approximately half (47%) of all wineries in the United States, led by key wine producing regions such as Napa and Sonoma.
Altogether, there are 13 U.S. states with more than 100 wineries. Washington (689 wineries) and Oregon (566 wineries) are the next most important states after California in terms of total wineries. But just consider all the other states that have more than 100 wineries:
- New York State 395
- Virginia 276
- Texas 319
- Pennsylvania 261
- Ohio 208
- Michigan 184
- North Carolina 165
- Missouri 149
- Colorado 127
- Illinois 115
