More informations about the region of North Dakota
North Dakota is a state centrally located on the northern border of the United States with Canada. As of 2012, there were no American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in North Dakota, other than the state's Generic appellation. The state covers just over 180,000 km² (70,000 square miles) between latitudes 45°N and 49°N. Despite this latitude - shared with some of Europe's best wine regions - North Dakota has a tiny wine industry, based on fruit wines and cold-hardy Hybrid varieties like Frontenac, La Crescent and Saint-Croix.
