Home / Washington State
	The glaciers resting upon what is now Washington State retreated a mere 16,000 years ago, leaving behind a free-draining gravel bed and the promise of fame and fortune in the viticultural world to come. Persistent lava flows created volcanic-based topsoil, and the combination of the two are the foundation for Washington’s flourishing wine industry. In 1825, the Hudson's Bay Company planted the first wine grapes, and by 1910 every corner of the state was planted with vines. Following Prohibition the state had 38 wineries and during the 1960s the industry grew rapidly. Today, Washington has over 200 wineries of all sizes, most located east of the natural rain barrier provided by the Cascade Mountains. Vignerons take advantage of long sunlight hours (on average, two more hours a day than in California) and a consistent growing season. The fruit attains optimal ripening while maintaining natural acidity.
