City Lifestyle Magazine - An Idaho Wine Backstage PassCity Lifestyle Magazine -

Idaho has received increasing recognition nationwide as it becomes a destination for wine enthusiasts like myself. The Idaho Wine Commission’s 2022 Wine Boot Camp was an exclusive, backstage pass to the concert of wine making. Getting behind the scenes, we stepped into the shoes of the local grape growers and winemakers over a fun-filled two-days of unique compositions from a variety of wine artists. We experienced the incredible orchestration required to transform an unassuming fruit to a fascinatingly complex beverage. We indulged not only in delicious wine, but in the information that poured from knowledgeable, passionate winery owners.

Sawtooth Winery

Sawtooth Winery Estate sits atop 500+ acres of vineyards with picturesque views of the Owyhee Mountains and Boise Valley.

Sawtooth Winery’s beautiful grounds play host to many yearly wine tastings, weddings and private events. Ask about how you can also save by becoming a Wine Club Member.

Hat Ranch Winery

HAT Ranch Winery began with the desire to create great wines in a great winegrowing region. After searching the western states for the right combination of soil, weather and community, the Snake River Valley of Idaho was the perfect place to build the winery and vineyard! The original HAT Ranch homestead was a farm and ranch established in 1902. The family re-established the HAT Ranch name for their wines and vineyard in the Snake River Valley, the new frontier in wine. They honor the pioneering spirit of their heritage by delivering wines of distinction. Visit their Tasting Room on the Sunnyslope Wine Trail and the Snake River Canyon Scenic Byway.
