CONFERENCE SEASON IS HERE – WHERE WILL YOU FIND TTB?

Our Outreach Program page is a one-stop shop for you to stay informed about upcoming opportunities to learn from TTB employees and to get your questions answered. Each year we partner with many organizations to make educational presentations or answer questions at industry events. The Outreach Program page lists future events where we'll be in attendance.

  • If you can't make an event, you can always view the presentations we've made on our TTB Presentations page. 
  • Interested in having TTB attend your event? Submit a Speaker Request Form. Although we can't accept every invitation, the Speaker Request Form helps us evaluate and prioritize the requests we receive.

Education and outreach are priorities for us, and we hope you'll bookmark the Outreach Program page and take advantage of opportunities to meet and learn from TTB employees.

CHECK OUT THE TTB AVA MAP EXPLORER

You've seen American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) named on wine labels. You've probably seen them described in lifestyle magazines. You may even have seen their complicated boundary descriptions in the TTB regulations. But you've never seen them like this!

Our AVA Map Explorer allows you to view the boundaries of all 200+ established AVAs on a single map. When you select a specific AVA, you can view:

  • Date it was established
  • State and county where it's located
  • Overlapping AVAs
  • Link to public rulemaking docket

Want to see what AVAs are in a particular location? Just enter an address and see the results. If you're a GIS user, you can download shape files of an AVA to make your own personalized map!

The AVA Map Explorer also allows you to see, for the first time, the boundaries of proposed AVAs during the public comment period.

What will you see on the AVA Map Explorer? Start exploring NOW!
