Most Spokane wine country producers are within 30 minutes of each other within a single sub-region — plan your day geographically to minimize backtracking.

Wine Road Signage and Navigation Tips

Follow the wine trail markers to stay on the main tourist circuit; venture off the marked roads for the producers that don't advertise their presence.
