Benton City [†] is located west of the Tri-Cities area and enjoys abundant natural resources due to its setting between the Red Mountains and Horse Heaven Hills, and the Yakima River bordering the City. The Yakima River flows on the east and south boundaries of the City, as it bends on the south side near the Kiona Interchange (the Interstate [I] 82 and State Route [SR] 224 interchange). The Red Mountain American Viticulture Area (AVA) and West Richland are located on the east side. Prosser is located about 17 miles west of Benton City.
Benton City is surrounded by agricultural land. The Red Mountain AVA is located on the east side of the City. Because agriculture plays an important role in the regional economy, there is an opportunity to tap into this market.
