Washington State

Washington State is located in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, immediately north of Oregon. Almost all wine production occurs in the hot, desert eastern part of Washington, although there is some viticulture in the cooler, more humid west. The Cascade Mountain Range defines the geography of the region by acting as a barrier between the two sides. The mountains create a rain shadow, effectively blocking most precipitation.

Columbia Valley


Columbia Valley, in the southeast corner of Washington state, is one of the largest official wine growing regions in the United States. It is centered around the Columbia River and its tributaries: the Walla Walla, Yakima and Snake rivers. The valley lies in a rain shadow caused by the Cascade Mountains, which contributes to its dry continental climate. Here, warm days are followed by cool nights, ensuring a long and regular growing season during which the grapes achieve full maturity while retaining their vital acidity.

California


If 50 American states produce wine, Californian production alone represents approximately 85% of the country's production, making this state the 4th largest producer in the world behind Italy, France and Spain. The climate is strongly influenced by the Pacific Ocean which at this latitude is a cold ocean. The wine-growing regions located near the Pacific have an oceanic climate becoming Mediterranean the further inland you go from the ocean and it becomes more continental near the Sierra Nevada. Bays and openings to the sea, such as San Pablo Bay, act as thermal regulators on viticulture, particularly in Napa and Sonoma Valley.
