Benton City sits at the Yakima River in southeastern Washington, where irrigated farmland and vineyards meet the dry terrain of the Columbia Plateau. The small community lies in the Yakima Valley, a major agricultural district shaped by irrigation from the Yakima River basin. Red Mountain rises just north of town; its federally designated Red Mountain American Viticultural Area is known for vineyards producing red wines, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon. Benton City is also near the Tri-Cities, a Columbia River urban area associated with the Hanford site.
