The Columbia Valley

Waterbrook wines are sourced from the famed Columbia Valley; the largest of Washington's nine appellations. The Columbia Valley covers almost 11 million acres and represents a third of Washington's land mass.

  • With over 17,000 acres of viniferous grape vineyards, the vast size of the area allows for a number of meso and micro climates.
  • Low rainfall and free-draining soils enable vineyard managers to control vine vigor in order to promote flavor development.
  • Warm daytime temperatures ripen fruit to perfection, while cool autumn nights protect the grapes' natural acidity.
