What’s the best winery in Tri-Cities? Vote in the second round of our bracket

The Tri-City Herald issued a callout for readers to nominate their favorite local winery earlier this month. Based on the submissions, we created a bracket of 32 wineries in the Tri-Cities area.

Tri-Cities is part of the Columbia Valley viticultural area, which encompasses millions of acres growing Washington’s wine grape supply. That means there are endless options for wine tasting and bottle purchasing in Tri-Cities.

But which will be crowned the ultimate favorite?

After the first round of voting, the following wineries have been eliminated:

• Airfield Estates

• Gordon Estate Winery

• McKinley Springs Winery

• Chandler Reach Vineyard

• Terra Blanca Winery

• Domanico Cellars

• Farmhand Winery

• Badger Mountain Vineyard

• Upchurch Vineyard

• Heron Bluff Winery

• Desert Wind Winery

• Tagaris Winery

• Powers Winery

• Cooper Wine Company

• Hedges Family Estate

• Wautoma Springs

The closest call was between Tucannon Cellars and Badger Mountain Vineyard. Tucannon Cellars took the win by only a few votes, ending with 51% of votes. No other matchup was that close.

With these eliminations, the sweet 16 round is now open for voting.

This round of voting will remain open until noon on Monday, July 7. You can vote as many times as you’d like in that time frame.
