Welcome to Taste of Appalachia

This holiday season, discover the incredible flavors of West Virginia with Taste of Appalachia, a curated collection of gift sets featuring products grown and made right here in our region.

Developed by Advantage Valley, this initiative highlights the creativity and craftsmanship of Appalachian food producers while making it easy for you to “buy local.”

From breakfast essentials to cocktail mixers, every set tells the story of the people and places shaping our region. By purchasing a Taste of Appalachia gift set, you’re not just giving a thoughtful, locally sourced gift — you’re investing in small businesses, supporting jobs, and helping regional producers grow and thrive.

ORDERS WILL BE DELIVERED OR SHIPPED AFTER THANKSGIVING

If you are looking to ship our gift sets to another state, please note that WV State Code prohibits certain producers from selling products across state lines. As a result, our Breakfast Essentials, Tailgate Treats, and Cocktail Starter gift sets are not available for out-of-state shipping.

Veteran-Made Gift Set sales have been extended for purchase through Veterans Day. All orders must be in by 11:59 pm on November 12th.


All other gift set orders are closed for 2025. We will announce our 2026 gift sets in Spring 2026.
