COLUMBIA VALLEY, Wash. Two areas located within the Columbia Valley are officially being recognized as American Viticultural Areas (AVAs); bringing even more credibility to wine grape-growing in Southeastern Washington.
According to a release issued by the Washington State Wine Commission, White Bluffs and The Burn of Columbia Valley will officially be deemed AVAs on Thursday, June 17, 2021. Steve Warner, President of the Washington State Wine Commission, is excited to see expansions to the Columbia Valley’s extensive wine repertoire.
“We have been anxiously awaiting these new AVAs, and are looking forward to seeing their names on wine labels moving forward,” Warner said. “For Washington to be home to 18 AVAs, with more coming soon, is a tremendous sign of growth. It’s a very exciting time for the wine grape growers and winemakers who work with these acclaimed regions.”
