Snake River Winery

On the slope of a valley carved by the majestic Snake River, sits the
Arena Valley Vineyard. Southwestern Idaho’s ancient riverbeds provide
the unique cobbled soil that allows us to grow a diverse range of grape
varietals. This combined with our elevation and consistent hot, dry
summers give us the climate of old-world wine growing regions such as
the Rhone Valley (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre), the Douro Valley
(Tempranillo, Touriga), Austria (Blauer Zweigelt), and Northern Italy
(Barbera). The sand and river rock naturally restrict the vines’ growth
producing small grapes with intense and concentrated flavors. Inspired
by our passion for traditional wine making and viticulture, quality over
quantity is always emphasized on our 75 acres.
