Chehalem Mountains AVA (recognized since November 27, 2006) is a wine-growing region in the US state of Oregon . The area spans the administrative areas of Clackamas County , Yamhill County and Washington County , all of which are located in northwest Oregon. The Protected Designation of Origin is part of the parent Willamette Valley AVA and extends over 20 miles from Wilsonville in the southeast to Forest Grove in the northwest.
