Visit Local Wineries or Tasting Rooms:
Boise is home to some of the best wineries in the state. Why not spend National Wine Day exploring some of these local gems?:
Telaya Wine Co. (Boise): Telaya’s tasting room is designed to encourage conversation, leisure, and most importantly, enjoyment of our wines. Positioned along the Boise River and the Greenbelt and next-door to the Riverside Hotel, we offer an inviting space to savor old world-style wines. Our NEW patio is dog-friendly, includes above-ground fire pits, and is open daily. Instagram
Cinder Wines (Garden City): Named after the volcanic cinder that is beneath many of the vineyards we work with, Cinder Wines has been hailed as one of the “West’s Best urban wineries” by Sunset Magazine. We believe that “America’s Next Great Wine Region” is the Snake River Valley and that Cinder Wines is a great way to explore what this region & a world-class winemaking philosophy can create.
Scoria Vineyards (Boise & Caldwell): Scoria Vineyards is a small, family-owned winery located in southern Idaho’s Snake River Valley. Our vineyard and tasting room are situated on a former lava flow, which gives our wines a unique minerality and complexity. Our wines are made from estate-grown grapes and are aged in French oak barrels to enhance their flavor and aroma. Instagram
Coiled Wines (Garden City): Coiled is named in honor of Idaho’s first grape-growing appellation, the Snake River Valley. The brand officially began with the release of our 2008 Syrah. We started at 380 cases and now make 2,000 cases, with a range of wines made from Idaho grapes. Instagram
Split Rail Winery (Garden City): Split Rail winery is propagated by the minds of a new generation of drinker. We create wine that is spawned from whimsy and redolent of the soil that we all stand upon. Our winery emerged from a fervent belief in supporting regional agriculture, creating Idaho-centric products, exploring new wines and wine styles, and an unfettered love for drinking, eating and debauchery.
