Region 6 could be called Washington's Wine Country, and
often is.
Washington is comprised of two major climate zones that
are split by the Cascade Mountain range. The west side of
the state receives more rainfall from the coastal waters,
an the east side receives much less rain as the Cascades
hold back the moist ocean air.
Eastern Washington is where approximately 98 percent of
Washington wine grapes are grown. The US Government has designated
five major viticulture appellations defining specific geographic
regions of the state. Red Mountain, Yakima Valley, and Walla
Walla Valley are located in the large Columbia Valley appellation. Find out more about the specific Chambers in the region
by visiting the individual counties.
