Grand River Valley is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) spread across portions of the Ashtabula, Lake, and Geauga counties of northeastern Ohio located 45 miles (72 km) east of Cleveland. The appellation was established on October 20, 1983, by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) of the Department of Treasury and is the largest AVA in the state. The viticultural area lies entirely within the larger, multi-state Lake Erie AVA. The area is approximately 125,000 acres (195 sq mi) and the established inland boundary at any point is about 6 miles (10 km) inland from the shore east of Ohio Route 45 and 14 miles (23 km) from the shore west of Ohio Route 45. It stretches over the land within 2 miles (3 km), in any direction, of the Grand River from its origin near West Farmington to the point where it flows into Lake Erie encompassing 14 miles (23 km) inland from any point on its shoreline.[5]
