Yesterday, Caldwell business and civic leaders laid out their vision to position Canyon County as one of the Northwest’s most significant wine-producing tourism regions. According to Mike Butts at the Idaho Press Tribune, "Officials made several announcements about developments in the county’s vineyard and winery region during a press conference at the Caldwell downtown gazebo in front of the newly-restored Indian Creek. "

It’s great to see the Idaho Wine Commission and Caldwell/Canyon County getting more aggressive in their approach to position Southwest Idaho’s Snake River Valley as a unique wine-growing region and leading tourist destination. This is great news for state tourism and sets the wheels in motion for the Snake River Valley wine country to become one of Idaho's next great attractions.
