Ribbon Ridge AVA is the U.S. state of Oregon's smallest American Viticultural Area (AVA). It lies within the Willamette Valley between Newberg and Gaston. The ridge is defined by local geographic boundaries and an uplift of ocean sediment. It lies at 45° 21' N latitude and 123° 04' W longitude, at the northwest end of the Chehalem Mountains. The name originates in the 19th century.[citation needed] The ridge is approximately 1¾ miles wide and 3½ miles in length, and is 5¼ square miles (3350 acres, 13.6 km²) in size, with 500 acres planted on 20 vineyards. It is estimated that between 1,000 and 1,400 acres in the region is suitable for planting.[1][2]

The Ribbon Ridge AVA lies within the Chehalem Mountains AVA and Willamette Valley AVA.
