There are 14 great reasons for wine lovers to visit Spokane: the wineries of the Spokane Winery Association. Even though this region is not located in the heart of Washington State’s “wine country”, Spokane is home to some of the finest winemakers in the country. Why? Because smaller family-run wineries are able to thrive here; and for the owners, that means a hands-on approach to the production of their wines. “We intimately know every grape that is put into the bottle.”

Local vintners are producing an eclectic blend of distinctly Washington wines ranging from intense, rich reds and crisp whites to complex blends, and even a bit of the bubbly. Varieties include Chardonnay, Riesling, Muscat, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Barbera, and proprietary blends of both reds and whites.

You’ll find a warm welcome at area tasting rooms here in Spokane along with winemakers ready to share their passion for their products. Some wineries are open daily, and most all are open on weekends.

Spokane - a great area with great wines.

It is the mission of the Spokane Winery Association to promote communication and interaction between the wineries of Spokane; to promote economic development through winery tourism; and to increase the awareness and profile of the wineries in the Spokane area.
