Then, head south to Melba. From Melba, go east on Baseline road to Can-Ada road. Follow Can-Ada road south to Victory Lane which will drop down into the Snake River Canyon. When you go southwest from Boise, you're headed for Idaho's wine country. Here, on the same latitude as the famed wine regions of France, Idaho vintners are producing award-winning wines on the fertile slopes above the Snake River.
Sunny slope is home to four fine wineries.
All offer tours and tasting rooms and Ste. Chapelle, the largest, hosts outdoor jazz concerts on Sunday afternoons during June and July. To reach the Wine Country proceed west from Boise on I-84 from the Nampa Blvd. Exit and then follow Highway 55 toward Marsing. Just southwest of Boise lies the Snake River Birds of Prey Area, encompassing nearly half a million acres along an 80 mile stretch of the Snake River Canyon.
