Our Story

Nine Lakes Wine Country and Nine Lakes Wine Festival are sponsored by the Appalachian Region Wine Producers Association, a Tennessee Not-For-Profit Trade Association, formed in 2015 to promote the common interest of its members in the grape and wine industry in the Nine Lakes Region of East Tennessee. The Board of Directors and elected officers contribute their services in support of our mission and do not receive any compensation.

Our work centers on the following:

Growing Tennessee Agriculture – Less than 2 percent of wines sold in Tennessee are produced in Tennessee. A strong Tennessee wine industry grows Tennessee Agriculture, preserves Tennessee Family Farms, increases Tennessee Tourism, and attracts investment.

Establishing Identity For Our Wines – For the wine industry, a sense of place is crucial to brand identity. We believe the Nine Lakes Region of East Tennessee qualifies to be its own American Viticultural Area (AVA) and a petition was submitted in 2018 to the Department of the Treasury Tax and Trade Bureau to establish Nine Lakes as the first single-state AVA in Tennessee.
