Idaho wineries & vineyardsWine? In Idaho?

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.

Located along the Snake River Valley where most of the Idaho's more than 30 wineries are located the geography, well-drained soils, and climate result in wines with surprisingly rich body and taste. These include an outstanding variety ranging from Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer to Merlot and Pinot Noir.

"Wine. Idaho's dirty little secret" is how the Idaho Wine Commission bills it. So best believe that when you come to Idaho... it ain't just potatoes.
