Dozens of wineries are located east of the Cascades in four major Washington wine areas - Yakima Valley as well as Walla Walla, Spokane, and the Columbia River Gorge regions.

On the other side of the Cascades and rolling down to the Pacific are wineries clustered around the Olympic Peninsula, Puget Sound islands and near Olympia, Seattle, and more in Woodinvile.
