Visit the Columbia Valley and discover the Heart of Washington Wine Country®. Sharing the same latitude as the world-famous Burgundy and Bordeaux regions of France, the Columbia Valley has the perfect soil conditions and temperature for making great wines.
The Tri-Cities' area wineries are still young enough to be intimate, yet experienced enough to produce world-class wines. A visit to one of the 160 area wineries in the Columbia Valley is a truly unique experience. You will often be greeted by the winemaker and invited to tour the vineyards, labs and warehouse.
An almost magical combination of soil and climate makes Columbia Valley & Red Mountain fruit unique from wine grapes grown elsewhere in the state. The region's long, hot summer days and crisp, cool evening breezes, combine with high mineral, sandy, loess soils left by Ice Age Floods; creating near perfect conditions for making great wine.

Local Wineries
Known as "The Heart of Washington Wine Country," the Tri-Cities region is home to more than 160 wineries within a 50 mile radius. Visitors can sample award winning wines, or enjoy breathtaking views of beautiful vineyards.
A joint venture between Washington's Chateau Ste. Michelle and Marchesi Antinori of Italy, Col Solare unites these two unique viticulture and winemaking cultures to produce a Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the very best grapes of the Columbia Valley. Col Solare's Red Mountain estate winery is open by appointment for tastings and tours.
