If
you enjoy the road less traveled — the excitement that
comes with being among the early visitors to emerging wine regions — you'll want to spend some time in the wine country of
north-central Washington's Columbia Valley and environs.
Loosely clustered along the
mid Columbia River in Central Washington, dozen
of wineries have opened their doors to
visitors over the last few years - wineries within the
Wenatchee
Valley, the Quincy
Basin and around the destinations of Leavenworth
and
Lake Chelan. Much of this
land lies within the previously designated Columbia Valley appellation,
but is distinct enough that sub-appellation status is being explored in
some of these areas
|
|
Most of these wineries are scattered across the eastern flanks of the Cascade Mountain
foothills in country
unrivaled for its scenery and its four-season
recreational opportunities. Several have located in Washington's
Ancient Lakes of the Columbia Valley where
more than 3,000 acres of wine grapes grow.
This area has some of the most dramatic landforms in Washington State
long ago shaped by Ice Age floods, including Frenchman Coulee,
Potholes Coulee (including the Ancient Lakes themselves), and Lynch
Coulee. The Ancient Lakes of the Columbia Valley AVA lies in the
western half of the Quincy Basin. |
|
|
The Columbia Valley's gently
undulating, open land is thought by geologists to be what's left of an
ancient volcano and the influences of major, ice-age flooding. Separated from Seattle's rainy, marine climate by
the Cascade Mountains, the Valley is shielded by the rain shadow of this
north/south-stretching mountainous barrier, and it experiences annual rainfall of
only 6 - 8 inches. Nearby river systems and irrigation bring vineyards the
additional water needed to produce premium wine grapes. Rivers
throughout the Valley also provide
some protection from climate extremes.

Navigating the North Central Washington Region
Many of the areas of north central Washington that support wineries and vineyards lie within the Columbia Valley AVA...
that huge, Washington State macro
appellation authorized in 1984. The Yakima Valley, Walla
Walla Valley, Rattlesnake Hills, Snipes Mountain, Naches
Heights, Horse Heaven Hills, Wahluke
Slope and Ancient Lakes appellations all lie entirely within the boundaries of the
Columbia Valley AVA. The number of wineries and vineyards
in and around the north-central portion of the Columbia Valley
appellation has been increasing significantly over the past
several years, and efforts to identify additional sub-appellations
continue. Clusters of wineries and vineyards near and/or within
the north-central portion of Washington's huge Columbia Valley appellation
may not yet be defined by individual appellation status, but they are distributed in ways that create convenient and exciting touring areas for the wine enthusiast. Use our
North Central Washington
Wine Country map to plan wine tours convenient to nearby
cities in this region.
 TIP:
If you are making a plan to visit wine country any time soon, be
sure to get The Priority Wine Pass
first. In just five minutes, you can be saving
on tasting fees and wine purchases at more than 350
participating wineries throughout Washington, Oregon and
California. Your membership will more than pay for itself as it
brings you an entire year of complimentary or 2-for-1 tastings, along with other
deals from these premium wineries. |
