Idaho Wine Country

Snake River Valley Wineries,
Wine Country, Wine and Wine Shops

     On its way to the Columbia River and beyond to the Pacific Ocean, the great Snake River of historic and geologic fame winds its way across southern Idaho, then sharply turns north and continues in that direction for a few hundred miles, marking the border between western Idaho and eastern Oregon.  Like so many other great rivers of wine-growing regions around the world, the Snake creates a micro climate that bodes well for grape growing, despite its higher elevation and arid landscape.

       Not only does the river provide irrigation water for otherwise dry lands, but the air currents it creates from its flowing water mass help temper the extremes of winter and summer temperatures.  Is it any wonder the majority of Idaho's wineries are scattered throughout Idaho's Snake River Valley?  The long-term growing of vineyards and growth in the number of local wineries turning those grapes into wine, is what set the stage for what is now Idaho's only official appellation, the Snake River Valley American Viticultural Area.

       Thirty-one of Idaho's more than 40 wineries have located in Idaho's Snake River Valley, with 25 choosing the valley's western end.  There are now six wineries to visit in the valley's eastern portion and two more north of Twin Falls near Sun Valley.
