Here We Grow
Some people are surprised world-class wine comes from Idaho. Here’s why they shouldn’t be.
DISCOVER WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE
Idaho Wines Now Featured on Wine Folly
We’re thrilled to announce Wine Folly’s new Idaho Region Guide! Check out what Wine Folly’s Madeline Puckette has to say about Idaho wine and spread the word—Great wine comes from Idaho!
Idaho’s Wine Country & Regions
Idaho may be one state, but our growing regions are distinctly different. Climate, geographical conditions, and soil content make it possible for vineyards in Idaho to grow a much wider diversity of wines with lots of character and nuance. Cooler, mountainous climates? We’ve got that. Rich, high-desert soil? Yep, we’ve got that too. If we sound proud, it’s because we are. Give it a try and you’ll see why.

Boise & Garden City
Get your tasting glass ready to experience all the deliciousness for yourself at one of the many winery and cidery tasting rooms in downtown Boise and along the craft beverage corridor in Garden City.
South Central
Two AVAs are located in the South Central region—including the Snake River Valley AVA, which is the largest in Idaho. The diverse, volcanic soils, cooler climate, and vibrant winemaking community here are known for producing world-class wines in a way only Idaho can.
Coeur d’Alene & Sandpoint
Part of the larger Idaho Panhandle, Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint are full of exciting things to see, do, and taste. The mountain ranges and magnificent lakes make for an outdoor lover’s dream, while the shopping, cultural events, world-class spas, and exciting eateries offer something for everyone.
Lewiston & Moscow
There’s a good reason this region is considered up-and-coming. Lewiston is in the Lewis-Clark Valley AVA and benefits from a unique microclimate of warm days and cool nights. Grapes like this.
Eagle
Nestled in between rolling hills and the Boise River, the Eagle Foothills AVA sits within the larger Snake River Valley AVA. The slope of the foothills plays an important role in sunlight reception, cold air drainage, and frost and wind protection. The unique granitic soils and local climate of this area contribute to the making of excellent wines.
Western Treasure Valley & Sunnyslope
Hot summers. Cool nights. Even cooler people. And lots of wine events. Home to the Sunnyslope Wine Trail, a recognized subregion of the Snake River Valley AVA, Western Treasure Valley & Sunnyslope boast a diverse mix of soil and a high-desert climate that is ideal for growing grapes and making wine with lots of character.
