Columbia Cascade Winery Association tm
 A new wine region has appeared
amongst the rivers, lakes, and mountains of North Central
Washington. Bordered by the towering Cascade Mountains on the west
and sagebrush covered hills on the east, vineyards and their
attendant wineries are rapidly appearing throughout the area. The
winemakers of this area have banded together in the belief that
the influence of the Cascade Mountains and the broad rivers and
lakes makes the region unique amongst Washington State’s
winegrowing areas. In recognition of this they are calling the
area the Columbia Cascade region.
There are many wineries producing top quality wine in the Columbia
Cascade valleys. Several more are slated to open in the near
future and many others are in the development stage. The
varieties being grown and bottled include familiar varieties
such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, as well as less
well-known varieties such as Roussanne. The wines range from the
driest of the dry to sweet complex late harvest and ice wines.
The Columbia Cascade area includes Grant County north of
Interstate 90, Douglas, Chelan, and Okanogan Counties. There is a
wide range of climates and soils throughout the area. The common
influence throughout the region is the Cascade Mountains. The
mountains maintain dormancy during the winter thanks to cold air
descending from high altitudes. At the same time many sites are
frost free from April 1 through October 31, ample time to ripen
even the most demanding grape varieties.
Touring the beautiful valleys of the Columbia Cascade area
provides constant variation in scenery. Water is constant
throughout, with rivers and lakes everywhere. From lush forests in
the west to sagebrush in the south to mixed sagebrush and pine in
the north, the eye is always rewarded with beauty. Recreational
opportunities abound; water skiing, snow skiing, snowmobile
riding, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, nationally recognized
golf courses, or just plain relaxing. Lodging in Chelan,
Leavenworth, Soap Lake, Wenatchee, and Winthrop can range from
budget to luxury, from quaint to stunning views of great beauty.
More information can be obtained through any of the wineries
listed, www.columbiacascadewines.com.
