Association Information
Association Activity : The Puget sound is ideally situated for growing premium wine grapes. Our area is a classic maritime climate with wet, mild winters and bone dry summers. Temperatures are moderated by the ocean and the Puget Sound so we don't have the extreme swings that Eastern Washington has. We are further north than most of the growing regions in Europe, giving us very long growing days during the summer, therefore helping us to ripen our grapes successfully every year. Because of the abundant sunshine and relatively cool temperatures, Puget Sound grapes attain a purity of varietal flavors found almost nowhere else in the world.

Climate

The Puget Sound AVA is a part of cool climate growing region that stretches from southern British Columbia to Eugene, Oregon. On average, SeaTac Airport has about 2050 Growing Degree Days (over the last 57 years) and 37" of rain annually. In the Puget Sound, this is good benchmark to start from since it seems to fall in between the warmer southern areas and the cooler northern ones and rainfall is also in the middle. There will be variations in your local microclimate that will dictate what you can grow. A good comparison in Europe to the Puget Sound might be the Loire valley, near Nantes (Muscadet), the Northern Rhine valley in Germany, Champagne or Chablis.
