Idaho's winery industry dates back more than a century when French and German immigrants began growing the grape in the mid-1800's.

Prohibition took its toll on the wine region in the 20's and 30's, and it wasn't until 1970 that wine grapes were again planted in Idaho, along the Snake River Valley where most of the Idaho's 18 wineries are located today. (Above, the St. Chapelle Winery, the state's oldest and largest).
