Puget Sound

The Puget Sound region is the only one of Washington's five appellations located on the west side of the state. The large body of water keeps the climate mild, not too hot, and not too cold.

While most wineries in the Puget Sound region use grapes grown on the eastern side of the state, there are some vineyards with cool climate varieties of wine grapes. Pinot Noir, Madeleine Angevine, Siegerrebe, and Chasselas thrive in the lush Puget Sound region, and Pinot Gris can be found in both the Puget Sound region and the more arid Eastern Washington vineyards. The differences in climate result in Pinot Gris wines of distinctly different flavors and bouquets.
