Southeast Washington State travel information and attractions.

	Visitor information about wine and wineries in The Palouse in Washington State. The Palouse is made up of five counties in southeast Washington State. The Counties of the Palouse are; Adams, Asotin, Columbia, Garfield, and Whitman. They are shown in red on the map to the left. You will come away from the Palouse with the impression of a sea of grain crops blowing in the breeze on what seems like endless steep rolling hills. The largest cities in the Palouse are Clarkston, Colfax, Dayton, Othello, Pomeroy, Pullman, and Ritzville.
The Palouse is named after the Palouse Indians. They were a small tribe indigenous to the area. They were affiliated with the Nez Perce Tribe. The first settlers here found rich top soil, up to 100 feet deep. However, the 16 inch annual rainfall would not support crops. The steep rolling hills were covered with clump grass and cattle ranching seemed to be the best use of the land. When eastern Europeans arrived in the area they brought the knowledge of farming similar areas from their homeland. They planted winter wheat and it grew well here and soon was the major crop in the State.	US Highway-12 as it winds through the Palouse in southeastern Washington
