Remarks About These Data

The 2017 Grape and Tree Fruit Acreage Inventory by Variety Study was designed to measure the details about the

Washington Grape and Tree Fruit industries. This is the seventh time a survey of this type has been conducted in

Washington. Previous surveys were conducted in 1948-49, 1986, 1993, 2001, 2006, and 2011. Comparisons to previous

data are shown in the publication. Statistics regarding tree fruit will be released in a separate publication. The following

are some notes regarding the data.

The survey was supported by all of the major fruit organizations and publicized in many newsletters and industry

publications. Producers were sent pre-survey letters, endorsed by the coalition of Northwest tree fruit organizations,

explaining the intent and need to report. An example of the pre-survey letter is included in the appendix of this report.

The survey included all those operations thought to have five or more acres of tree fruit or one or more acres of grapes.

The list sample included over 2,900 operations. The modes of data collection included mail, telephone, and personal

interview. Nearly all operations were given an opportunity to respond by mail beginning in January 2017. A copy of the

questionnaire and respondent booklet are included in this report. The beginning date of data collection was January 23,

2017. All medium and most smaller operations were contacted by telephone. Large operations, defined as those thought

to have greater than 500 acres of fruit or those with significant amounts of less prevalent fruit, were followed up with

face-to-face interviews. When possible, efforts were made to use grower electronic records. Over 11,450 individual

blocks of fruit information from approximately 1,300 growers who reported one or more blocks of tree fruit or grapes

were tabulated.

There were several measures employed to assure data quality. Telephone data collection was conducted using a

computerized survey instrument. The survey instrument included prompts to the interviewer when unusual situations

were encountered. An example would be an extremely high or low planting density. All records, including those

collected by mail and face-to-face interviews, were reviewed within a computerized interactive editing system. This

process ensured that records were internally consistent (e.g. acres in blocks of fruit add up to total fruit acres reported).

Some data errors can best be identified by reviewing all records meeting a particular criterion. For example, a review of

all Merlot grape blocks planted in the past five years, sorted by vines per acre, would highlight blocks with unusually high

or low planting densities. The data in this survey were reviewed in an interactive analysis system that would facilitate

these types of reviews.

A small number of operations were able to provide only partial block level information. In these cases, the averages from

the reported data were used to complete the block level data. For example, a partially responding ten acre block of

Chardonnay grapes planted in 2006 would have been given the vines per acre average from responding blocks of the same

characteristics to estimate the total number of vines for the block.


Block level data from responding vineyards represented approximately 52 percent of the published totals for total grapes.

The survey data totals were analyzed by American Viticultural Area (AVA) for reasonableness. Also, grape acreage totals

from county assessor offices, data from the 2012 Census of Agriculture, the previous grape acreage survey, vineyard data

from WSDA’s GIS layer, and other industry data at the AVA level were considered in setting grape acreage “targets” at

the state level and by AVA.

Once the targets were set, the adjustments were carried through to each individual responding block of data. The same

adjustment process utilized in the Census of Agriculture, known as calibration, where the weights of responding blocks of

fruit are adjusted within tolerance ranges of the targets was used. Before adjustment, responding fruit blocks had weights

of one; after adjustment the block could receive a weight varying from one to a maximum weight of six. This means, for

example, that a reported ten acre block of Chardonnay grapes containing 8250 vines might have received a weight of 2.0.

After weighting, the block of fruit would have contributed 20 acres and 16,500 vines to the published totals.

This report includes data for the three newest AVA’s – Ancient Lakes AVA, Lewis – Clark Valley AVA, and Naches

Heights AVA. A few areas of the state are not included in an AVA. For example, wine grape growing areas near the

Columbia Gorge AVA and in the Stevens county area. The total acreage outside an established AVA is relatively small

and these areas were collapsed into the Columbia Valley AVA. The Walla Walla and Columbia Gorge AVA’s include

parts of Oregon. The data in this report detail the Washington portions of these AVA’s.

Data included in “other varieties” include varieties with minimal acreage, unknown varieties, or varieties not published to

avoid disclosure of individual operations. Almost certainly, some acres of the published varieties are included in this other

category when the respondent did not designate the variety. The red varieties of wine grapes reported but not published

include: Campbell Early, Carmenere, Cinsault, Cournoise, Dolcetto, Gamay Beaujolais, Gamay Noir, Leon Milot,

Marechal Foch, Nebbiolo, Souzao, Tinto Cao, Touriga, and Tinta Madeira. The white varieties of wine grapes reported

but not published include: Aligote, Aurore, Chasselas, Madeline Angevine, Madeline Sylvaner, Mueller-Thurgau, Muscat

of Alexandria, Muscat Ottonel, Orange Muscat, Pinot Blanc, and Siegerrebe.
