Ribbon Ridge is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in Yamhill County, Oregon within the vast Willamette Valley landform about 22 miles (35 km) southwest of Portland and 40 miles (64 km) inland of the Pacific Ocean. It was established as the nation's 161st, the state's twelfth and the valley's fifth appellation on June 1, 2005 by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury after reviewing the petition submitted by Alex Sokol-Blosser, secretary of the North Willamette Valley AVA Group, on behalf of local wineries and growers proposing the viticultural area named "Ribbon Ridge."
