# In pursuit of the Columbia Valley

    Washington is located at nearly the same latitude as some of the top French wine-growing regions like Bordeaux and Burgundy. For almost 150 years, vines here have thrived, thanks to long, sunny days and cool nights that are kind to growing grapes.

    Matthews grapes are sustainably grown and hand-harvested in Washington State: A wine region unlike any in the world. Here, miles of vines stretch across 20 diverse AVAs to produce a broad range of thriving varietals.

    The valley is home to 50,000 acres of vines within 20 distinct AVAs. Contrary to the reputation of the Pacific Northwest, the valley only gets six inches of rainfall a year—as much as the Gobi desert. Our long and consistent growing season produces complex yet vibrant wines with world-class varietals ranging from Cabernet Sauvignon to Sauvignon Blanc.
