2019 Top Ten Wineries (by area – SE Washington)

Welcome to Aaronswinechronicles first annual Top Ten recommended wineries in Southeast Washington!  For simplicity, I’ve partitioned the Southeast region of Washington into 3 specific areas or zones.  The first area covers tasting rooms in the Yakima Valley, Prosser and Paterson while the second covers the Tri-Cities and Red Mountain.  Finally, the third zone covers Walla Walla.  As my wine escapades continue across the state, I hope to be including other state regions as well.  This region of Southeast Washington state includes hundreds of wineries to experience!  Since I’ve personally visited more than 90% of the tasting rooms in this combined area, I feel confident about these recommendations.  Here I present 3 lists, one for each specific area just described.

These wineries were identified by Aaronswinechronicles.com based upon personal experiences and multiple direct visits/tastings over the years.  Some of the more important attributes considered in my recommendations include:

• Wine Quality and Consistency (with a focus on red wines)
• Tasting room staff – Knowledge, Enthusiasm and Customer Engagement
• Pricing
• Diversity of Wine Offerings
• Ambiance and more.

Please note:  Recommended wineries identified here are NOT listed in any particular order of priority.  From my perspective, if a tasting room made the list, it is highly recommended by Aaronswinechronicles.com.  I hope you visit and enjoy these fabulous Washington State wine venues!  Cheers!
