We are pleased to now offer this map, originally created exclusively for the Washington State Wine Commission, to all lovers of Washington state wines.
Great wine begins with nature—and Washington is blessed with a climate and soil structure that produces some of the best fruit in the world across 14 distinct AVAs. Two mountain ranges create a rain shadow effect that protects the Columbia Valley from wet weather systems, resulting in a perfect climate for growing grapes in the warm and dry eastern part of the state. This region benefits from over 300 days of sunshine annually.
With 59,000 acres planted, the state has ideal geography and conditions for growing premium vinifera wine grapes. While wine grape growers in Washington focus on Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, the region also produces a wide range of other spectacular white and red wines. Washington is now home to more than 1,000 wineries—and it’s just getting started.
This 42" x 28" map identifies the state's growing regions and replicates the topography that contributes to its outstanding wines. It is available fully framed and ready to hang in a black anodized aluminum frame or unframed, poster-style, for pinning to a wall or bulletin board.
