About thePuget Sound

Wineries scattered throughout the popular and beautiful Puget Sound Region give wine-country travelers an opportunity to combine wine tasting with an awe-inspiring variety of site-seeing and recreational activities. Famed for their array of beautiful vacation areas, Northwest Washington's Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound islands are home to 26 wineries. Only nine of these wineries, however, produce estate-grown wines.

Island hopping by ferry is a great way to visit any of the six picturesque wineries on the islands. As you can see from our Puget Sound Wineries Map, even staying on the I-5 corridor puts you in close proximity to six wineries near the freeway. If you are in a real rush, consider stopping at one of the many local wine shops where local wines are sold.

More than 80 vineyard acres (32 hectares) of vinifera grapes planted.
There are nearly 35 wineries located within the greater Puget Sound region.
The temperate climate rarely suffers from prolonged freezes in winter and enjoys long mild & dry summers.
The core area of this appellation has a growing season that is drier and sunnier than many classic wine grape growing regions in Europe.
Semi-permeable cemented subsoil allows the deep-rooted vinifera vines to survive the late summer soil water deficit.
Precipitation averages 15 inches (38cm) to 30 inches per year, mostly falling in the winter dormant season, with a growing season of over 180 days.
Madeleine Angevine, Siegerebbe and Muller-Thurgau are the predominant varietals.
Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir also show promise in this appellation.
