Wineries and Golf
Washington is the second largest producers of wine grapes with Idaho emerging as part of the new frontier of grape-growing in the United States. With warm days and cool nights throughout the region our grapes have the perfect balance of acids and sugars. Paired with amazing golf throughout the region we can think of no better place to enjoy golfing and wine tasting. Here are the many great wineries in each region.
