Idaho Wine, in Brief

Idaho's vineyards sit in the Snake River Valley in the southwest of the state, a high desert at around 2,500 feet where hot days, cold nights and volcanic soils produce wines with bright acidity and clear fruit. The industry is small, young and improving fast, with Boise's downtown tasting rooms making it easy to sample widely.

Sunnyslope, near Caldwell, is the core vineyard district and where most estate wineries have their tasting rooms.
