Idaho

Idaho is one of the most promising winegrowing regions in the United States. Spanning from the Snake River Valley to the rolling hills and mountainous terrain, Idaho's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a diverse array of terroir. The cool, crisp waters of the Snake River play a major role in cooling Idaho's vineyards, sending breezes and moderating temperatures. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the higher elevations, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail. Idaho's growing wine industry is crafting exceptional wines that reflect the state's unique and dynamic environmental conditions.
