Wine and Cider Month

June 1 – June 30

Sip, Savor and Celebrate Idaho Wines and Ciders

In June we proudly celebrate Idaho as a rapidly growing and nationally recognized wine and cider region. Our warm days, cool nights and rich soil allow us to grow great grapes that produce exceptional wines. Delectable ciders from across the state are handcrafted from the tastiest apples, plums, pears and other high-quality local ingredients.

Early summer is the ideal time to explore Idaho’s unique award-winning wine and cider flavors. So look for special events and promotions throughout the month to help you sip, savor, and celebrate the wines and ciders made in the Gem State.

Savor Idaho. The crown jewel of Idaho Wine & Cider Month takes place on June 9 at the Idaho Botanical Garden in Boise. Don’t miss it!

Savings and Promotions. All month long, enjoy events and activities around Idaho, including onsite tastings, patio gatherings, festivals, wine club events, tours, special offers, discounts, promotions and more. Be sure to check with club and event organizers to confirm details!

Idaho’s amazing wine and ciders are for everyone who is ready to taste and experience something new or savor your tried and true.
