The website includes an interactive map and a dedicated page for each wine region with details about the region, the region’s most popular wine varietals and a list of wineries in the region.
Event listings with the most up-to-date information on happenings at Idaho’s wineries and cideries are also included, along with the wine commission’s signature events.

The Idaho wine industry has been around since the 1860s when the first wine grapes were planted in Lewiston. In the last 15 years the industry has seen phenomenal growth and won designation for three American Viticultural Areas. Idaho is known for growing and producing classic varieties such as Syrah, Merlot, Riesling, and Chardonnay, as well as Tempranillo and Malbec. Today, Idaho’s wine industry accounts for more than $210 million in annual revenue, provides hundreds of jobs, and helps support a thriving tourism business in the state.
