DINING: Washington Wines Washington State is proud to be the second largest premium wine producer in the United States. Currently there are eleven major American Viticulture Areas and over 600 wineries producing 20 million gallons of wine per year. With 32,000+ acres planted, the state has ideal geography and conditions for growing premium vinifera wine grapes. Primarily grown on their own root stocks, the vines produce grapes of consistent quality, resulting in strong vintages year after year. Leading red varietals are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. Leading white varietals are Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris. Winemakers from all over the world have chosen to establish themselves in Washington, where they can create wines reflecting this region's unique characteristics. Their hand-crafted wines are receiving wide acclaim from critics regionally, nationally and internationally for their consistently high quality. Wine bars and tasting rooms are appearing all over the city, and with award winning wineries all around the city and across the state, it is no wonder why Seattle has become such a popular wine-lovers destination.
