Jahant is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located primarily in San Joaquin County, California with a minor portion in Sacramento County. It lies in the center of the existing Lodi viticultural area about 29 miles (47 km) south of the city of Sacramento and seven miles (11 km) north of the city of Lodi. It was established on July 17, 2006, as the nation's 162nd, the state's 102nd and San Joaquin County's fifth appellation by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury after reviewing the petition submitted by Lodi American Viticultural Areas (LAVA) Steering Committee proposing a viticultural area in San Joaquin County known as "Jahant."
