Columbia Valley

Nestled between the Columbia River and the Cascade Mountains, the Columbia Valley in Washington State, USA, captures the heart of wine lovers around the globe with its award-winning wines. Renowned for its unique terroir, this region is often compared to some of the most esteemed wine regions in France, not only for its geographical location but also for its soil composition and climate conditions.

Spanning the width of central Washington, the Columbia Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area) covers approximately 11 million acres. The region is blessed with a favourable climate of long, hot summers and harsh winters, a combination that provides a perfect foundation for cultivating grapevines. The virgin soil composed mainly of loess and sandy loam, the long daylight hours in the growing season, and the low rainfall make this valley a paradise for winemakers.

While the Columbia Valley has a wide-ranging mix of grape varieties, the area is particularly known for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, along with marvellous Chardonnay and Riesling. These wines are noted for their luscious balance, distinctive dark fruit flavours, subtle undertones, and lingering finish.

One of the compelling features of the Columbia Valley wine scene is its earnest focus on sustainable farming and wine production. A large number of vineyards and wineries in the Columbia Valley are certified sustainable or organic, demonstrating their commitment to conservation and purity.

Columbia Valley wines are designed to be appreciated. Whether served with a lovingly prepared meal, savoured during an intimate gathering, or given as a splendid gift, every sip takes one through a journey to the beguiling Columbia Valley itself, revealing the tradition, passion, and craftsmanship of its winemakers. It is, without a doubt, a treat for both the novice and the connoisseur of fine wine. When it comes to representing the motherland U.S. in the global wine arena, Columbia Valley proudly hoists the flag.
