This AVA in southeast Virginia encompasses the counties of James City, York, New Kent and Charles City as well as the independent cities of Poquoson, Hampton, Newport News and Williamsburg.
The AVA identifies from its location on the natural landform known as the Virginia Peninsula, outlined by the York River, James River, Hampton Roads and Chesapeake Bay. It is sometimes known as the Lower Peninsula to distinguish it from two other peninsulas to the north, the Middle Peninsula and the Northern Neck.
