Washington

The mighty Columbia Valley covers more than one-third of the state of Washington’s land mass or 11 million acres. Nearly all of this region’s winegrape production occurs here. Believed to have once been the site of an ancient volcano, the Columbia Valley’s porous soils stretch through valleys, bluffs and ridges that grow distinctive wines. They’re elegant, approachable, soft, and just waiting to be discovered.
