Food, Wine & Beer

From its coastal waterways, wild salmon streams and fresh oyster beds to its orchards, farms, vineyards and breweries, Washington State food provides a cornucopia of culinary delights and fine beverages served up in locales rich with personality and seasoned with good company and beautiful scenery. Whether it's unique local flavors or exotic international cuisines, Washington offers a diverse menu to delight the most discriminating gourmand or the more down-to-earth diner.

As a coastal state graced with agricultural abundance, it’s a place where fresh ingredients abound. As a major Pacific Rim seaport, it’s a place where the world’s cuisines cross-pollinate in all sorts of creative and delicious dishes. And as a no-nonsense northwestern state, it’s a place where you can still get a great cheeseburger—with or without grilled onions. 

Washington is also a premium destination for people who want to enjoy great wine and beer. We invite you to try our less traveled, more rewarding Washington State wine country roads. With more than 650 wineries and vineyards, Washington is now the No. 2 premium wine-producing state in the country. Even so, success hasn’t spoiled Washington State wine country. Visit Washington State Wine for more information on tours and wineries to visit. 

Or take a brewery tour and savor the flavors provided by both Washington farmers and brewmasters. Maybe it’s all those artesian wells and glacier-fed streams and rivers that help produce an amazing variety of microbrews on tap around the state.
