CANYON COUNTY, Idaho — As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, Idaho’s Sunnyslope Wine Region is drawing attention for the history and heritage that helped shape the state’s identity.
Nestled along the Snake River in Canyon County, the region is now Idaho’s premier wine destination — but long before the vineyards arrived, this land was rooted in agriculture.
Moyra Dolsby of the Idaho Wine Commission said the region has earned a reputation well beyond state lines.
“We’re not this secret anymore, right? We’re a known commodity in the state that is an economic driver for sure.”
At Williamson Orchards and Vineyards, that history stretches back more than a century.
