Idaho Wine Regions
Western Treasure Valley & Sunnyslope
Plenty To See & Do
The Western Treasure Valley & Sunnyslope region is home to the Sunnyslope Wine Trail—a textbook expression of what it means to be in Idaho Wine Country. With its rolling landscape, picturesque views, and vineyard-dappled hills, it’s no wonder why Sunnyslope attracts wine lovers from all over. In addition to its many geographical gifts, the Western Treasure Valley & Sunnyslope region is home to unique wineries, tasting rooms, and festivals worth traveling for.
Situated along the western edge of the Snake River Valley AVA, the Western Treasure Valley & Sunnyslope region experiences a big temperature change from day to night typical of high-desert climates. Along with the volcanic soils, this temperature variation is responsible for the distinct character found in the grapes—and tasted in the wine. Combine that with its near-famous latitude for growing grapes, and it’s no wonder that award-winning wine gets its start right here.

Devil’s Bedstead Winery
Wines Fly Free
Greg and Kristen Koenig started Koenig Vineyards over 30 years ago. It grew organically from the original winery and tasting room at the Koenig Distillery site, owned by Greg’s brother, Andy Koenig and his wife, Jill. In 2009 Koenig Vineyards grew into a new wine-making facility on Hoskins Road and added a tasting room in 2016. In 2019, Greg and Kristen turned over the Koenig brand and facilities to dear friends/custom wine crush clients James and Sydney Nederend. The Devil’s Bedstead project stemmed from the idea of focusing 30 years of experience on two beloved vineyard parcels, Koenig Estate, planted in 1996 and the iconic Fraser Vineyard, which was acquired from the Fraser Family in 2014. Devil’s Bedstead produces fewer than 800 cases annually, including Fraser Cabernet Sauvignon, reserve blends Cuvee Alden and Cuvee Amelia, as well as occasional Viognier and Merlot from the Estate site.
