The Washington State Wine Commission is a state government agency formed by the legislature in 1987 and guided by an appointed board, representing all licensed Washington wineries and wine grape growers. Based in Seattle, it pursues a marketing-focused mandate to raise the profile of Washington wines and expand consumer demand, while also supporting viticulture and enology research to foster industry growth. Funding comes largely from industry assessments tied to grape and wine sales. Its primary customers are Washington's wineries and grape growers, for whom it provides marketing channels and educational resources to strengthen the statewide wine sector. In 2024, the commission helped launch Sustainable WA, a statewide sustainability program for wine grapes developed in collaboration with industry partners.
