Texoma is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in north-central Texas, on the south side of the large reservoir Lake Texoma and the Red River along the boundary of the Texas-Oklahoma state line. The 2.3-million-acre (3,650 sq mi) viticultural area expands across portions of Montague, Cooke, Grayson, and Fannin Counties. It was established as the nation's 169th and Texas' eighth appellation on December 7, 2005 by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury after reviewing the petition submitted by the Texoma Appellation Committee, of Denison, Texas, on behalf of regional vintners, proposing the viticultural area in north-central Texas to be known as "Texoma."
Its name mimics the interstate border region, Texoma, a portmanteau of Texas and Oklahoma. The AVA's northern boundary is defined by the Red River which flows west–east en route from the Texas Panhandle, where it rises just west of the Texas High Plains, as a tributary to the Atchafalaya River, a distributary of the Mississippi. At the outset, four wineries were located in Texoma AVA. In 2006, the number increased to six. As of 2025, there are nine resident wineries and six vineyards. The plant hardiness zones are 7b, 8a and 8b.
