June is finally here, warm weather and good times await. June is also Idaho Wine and Cider Month and this year is the 12th year for this festival. Wineries and Cideries across the state are participating this year and it’s a perfect time to explore new wines or ciders made in the great State of Idaho. We are so lucky to have so many amazing wineries and cideries in the area.
New this year is the Savor Idaho To Go Passport. The passport is free at participating wineries or by contacting the Idaho Wine Commission. On top of tasting some great wines, you have the opportunity to win some amazing prizes from some of the wineries and cideries who are participating in this event.
During the month of June, there are several events you can take a look at our event calendar or Idaho Wine Commission’s calendar to check out these fabulous events that are happening in the area.
This is how you use your Savor Idaho To Go Passport. Each time you visit one of the participating tasting rooms, have them sign the “VISITED” space in your passport. Each winery has a featured Savor Idaho flight listed and additional promotions that they will offer all month long. To enter the drawings, email your passport to

by July 7, 2021. Winners will be announced on July 9, 2021. Some wineries charge for tastings. Please visit the winery website prior to your visit if reservations are needed.
