2017 Relocation Guide

WINERIES
The Boise area is home to the Snake River Valley Region, a
growing AVA designated area, located 40-minutes west of
downtown Boise. With the first grapes planted in 1864, Idaho is in
many ways in the infancy of its wine producing history, however
the industry is becoming more well known with each passing year.
A combination of cool nights and hot days make the Snake River
climate ideal to produce world-class grapes of all varietals. Many
award-winning wines are made here in Idaho in one of over 50
wineries owning 1,850 acres of vineyards.
BREWERIES
There is no shortage of craft brewery options in Idaho. As a state
there are over 34 commercial breweries. The Boise area is home to a
bustling community of brewers and “beeristas” who believe in
crafting perfect drafts. There are currently 14 commercial breweries
in the Treasure Valley. Idaho is the 3rd largest hop producer in the U.S.
and Livability.com ranks Boise as #7 in the “Top-10 Beer Cities in the
U.S.”
