How to Enjoy Wine in the Treasure Valley

The wine industry is one of Idaho’s fastest growing agricultural industries, though Idaho's obsession with producing wine dates back to the 1800s. With a long history and a commitment to leading the Pacific Northwest wine charge, if you're looking for great wine in the Treasure Valley, there is no shortage of options.

While many simply enjoy drinking wine during their meal, if you want to enjoy the best wine and have an entire experience centered around it, here are some things to look for and try in the Treasure Valley. 

Visit One of the Many Wineries

According to Visit Idaho, there are more than 50 wineries in the Gem State, meaning running out of options won’t be a problem. Instead of going blindly, consider the types of wines that you enjoy the most and pay a visit to a local winery or vineyard for a full wine-tasting experience.


It’s About More Than Wine

While wine can be the star of the show, it’s the atmosphere and the accompanying features of your chosen winery or restaurant that will complete the experience. So seek out a sophisticated atmosphere where you can relax, chat with friends, and sip on a premium glass of wine.

Many find that listening to some of the best live music Boise offers can further complete the experience. Whatever your tastes are, be it smooth jazz, country, or lively rock n' roll, choose a venue that serves up premium wine and great music every night, and you can't go wrong.


Choose a Restaurant with a Sommelier

If you’re seeking the best wine tasting experience, you need to work with the experts. While anyone can read a label on a bottle of wine, a true sommelier will understand the more delicate details of the wine in their selection and can provide you with recommendations based on your preferences.

Sommeliers dedicate their careers and countless hours to wine, so if you see that an establishment has a sommelier, you can know that they take their wine selections very seriously. If they offer food, many sommeliers will coordinate with the chef to design a menu that pairs the house wines with the cuisine. 


Attend a Winemaker Dinner

The fine dining Boise restaurants that care about wine the most will hold wine tasting events or dinners, giving the public an opportunity to sample, taste, and learn more about local and regional wine selections. Chandlers offers this experience every quarter and weekly during Idaho Wine Month in June through their Winemaker Dinners.

During these dinners, guests have the opportunity to try highly-rated and sought-after wines from a spotlight winery. Advanced Sommelier Jeff Lewis is typically present with the owner or representative from the winery featured for the evening. Guests enjoy a four- to five-course meal prepared by Chef Luis Flores and Sommelier Jeff Lewis for a tasting experience wine aficionados will cherish.
