    The mural outside that I would buy if it were on a T-shirt.
    Carrie H.

    We were so excited that we found the Split Rail tasting room! We sadly did not get the name of the friendly guy who let us through both of our tastings, but he was invaluable. He even let us see a wine book so my husband could check out maps, as he is obsessed with where and likes to see the exact region grapes are being grown. My husband tasted three of their whites: the dry rose, Gris Gris, and the exploding mirror Chardonnay. The Chardonnay was his favorite, but that was no surprise because he loves his Chardonnay. My husband even bought one of their T-shirts because they were so soft and had an incredible buffalo on the front. I tried the usual tasting of five of their wines, because I don't discriminate regarding alcohol. The first one was called White Noise. It was sparkling, but not many bubbles, so my husband even enjoyed it. We liked it so much we took a bottle of it home. This label could also be a teacher, especially for those who remember the white noise from the TV. The next tasting for me was the Grenache dry rosé. The third tasting was called Burn, and it was so good that we brought home a bottle of it too. Burn is a light, and it is too easy to drink red. I don't remember what type of red wine my fourth one was, but it has a deer face with antlers on the bottle, on a sidenote, that should also be on a T-shirt. It was fuller and smoother. Last but not least, to my taste, was the Cab. It was full-bodied and bold. If you are in the area and want to host an event, they have different rooms that you can rent for your party. They let us step into the barrel room for a picture, and since it was really cold, I was very happy. If we ever make it back to Boise, we will definitely make a stop at Split Rail Winery.

    I reserved the smaller private room for a gathering of amazing women, and told Split Rail I would bring my own napkins, coasters, and plates for the charcuterie I'd ordered. I bought a bottle of their Damn! red wine, which lived up to the name, a bottle of their chardonnay which is light and delicious, and a bottle of their bubbles. Amy was our Split Rail associate, who went above and beyond to make our group of nine women comfortable. There was even a chalk sign waiting for us that said "Celebrating Amazing Women!". Thank you Split Rail Winery!

    what a disappointment. this is what happens when you go corporate and forget about where you started. I couldn't wait to try the new split rail on chinden. we have been going to the old location for years, so it was a long time coming waiting for them to expand away from the freezing cold warehouse they used to serve in. this new location is whatever. it's a concrete hole with metal chairs and a a very "hip" atmosphere. I feel like i'm in brooklyn and not on chinden blvd in boise, idaho. i guess they have to pay for the new digs somehow. the prices are absolutely outrageous. we chose the "guided flight" for $18. they come out to your table with a few bottles of wine and give you a measured tiny 1 oz pour of each of their wines. they even have the stoppers on there to make sure you don't get an extra drop. all the wines this year were tasteless and disappointing. this is not an estate winery. the grapes are grown in all different places and they process it there. I didn't like any of them. no flavor or body whatsoever. i couldn't believe how awful they all were. nothing stood out from that entire list. a few we actually just knocked back like a shot to get rid of them. not that you can really taste anything with a 1 oz pour other than wetting your tongue. lastly, they made their parking lot ridiculously small and there is no parking so people have been taking over stagecoach's parking lot across the way which has angered them immensely (with good reason) and they threaten to tow anyone that parks near them. there was actually a guy out there watching people park when we were there. I have no intentions of coming back. I'm sure they will thrive in this new boise though. no personality and high prices. if you want to go to a place where it's just about being cool and not actually enjoying a wine from idaho, you found the right spot! i'll be at stagecoach giving them my money instead.

    Inside out: getting in and out of their parking lot wasn't the most fun, but parking in the back at least has ample room. The place itself inside is well decorated and fun to look at with a decent amount of seating options. The giant wine egg (made of cement) was eggs-cellent fun! The service: friendly and fast, every single person was knowledgeable. They provided lists that had explanations and explained their wine maker, some names, and the descriptions of wines were unique. The wine: we did a tasting and a bottle to split, some were for me and some weren't but all were easy to drink. The person who accompanied me loves wine and tastes all over- they said it was solid and liked almost all they tried. They seemed to have fair prices and the bottle was so fun I put a pothos plant in it and put it in my kitchen. Overall I say hangout here- they have distancing and mask policies that do not detract from a relaxing place!

    Love this place. Always great service. A good selection of wines to taste or buy by the glass. Love the wine growler fills (don't forget your punch card). You can find their wines at some of the bigger grocery stores in the area, but why not get it straight from the source?!

    This place was phenomenal. We tasted several amazing wines and I was really blown away by the artistic style of the winemaker. It's a must for anyone who really understands wine and has a taste for creativity!

    Started with a flight to wet our whistle. Not a rose fan but they gladly traded it out. Loved the Cab and Malbec. Friendly and warm. Not much sitting and no food but wine was great.

    We had such a great time tasting wine here. We came for my mama's birthday and it was a treat. This place is a little funky, functional, and fun! You can see a lot of the wine aging happening right when you enter the tasting room. We got to see some really cool Terra Cotta vats ( I can't remember the special name for them) where they ferment the Malvasian wine. There are barrels, fun seating options, and a beautiful bar. They have also opened up a back patio option with shade and some ambiance for the folks who would prefer to be all outside. We decided to sit inside because we had a large table to ourselves, the staff was masked, we watched her clean our table and all the patrons were spaced out. My group ordered all sorts of different things. One person got the bubbles, one a beer, one a tasting flight, and my mom and I split a bottle of the Malvasia. I can only speak to my drink but it was amazing. It was light, with a distinct pineapple finish. It was very light. No hint of butter or oak. It would make a great accompaniment to sangria! We got a little hungry after a while and asked for some snacks. Our lovely bartender brought us out two of the charcuterie packs from Wild Plum events, complete with dried fruit, smoked almonds, carrot sticks, tomato jam, brie and another cheese. While most of the food was pretty tasty, it was REALLY expensive for what you got. Each pack is $12 and came with TWO crackers, cold brie and regular ol' carrots. Had each of the ingredients been special, I would have felt better paying that price. The tomato jam was definitely the star of the show. I can't wait to buy more of the Malvasia but will probably skip the snacks next time.

    S till doing wine tasting during COVID-19 Great service in regards to COVID. Tried four very different wines during the wine tasting. Two white two red. One bubbly. I'm sure they change the selection around so don't reference this. All of the wines I actually liked. One of the white wines (not bubbly) was a little too acidic for me but I have a low tolerance. I won't go too into detail about the wine because the wonderful human host who tells you about each wine and the menu will fill you in. The menu is very articulate and funny is the descriptions for each wine they offer. The establishment is very clean and spunky. We ended up buying a bottle of The Bearded Quixote which is mellow and dry. A true mind/body of its own. Catchy atmosphere, wonderful customer service, hope to return soon!

    A cute winery and tasting room located just off the main street. We came here to kill some time as the cidery down the street was not yet open. It ended up being a great find! The inside has oodles of atmosphere and is very funky and youthful. They have a fairly large range of wines, many of which use grapes sourced in Washington state. It was good to do the tasting as we were unfamiliar with a lot of the appellations they used, which were surprisingly east drinking. They also offer rose in cans, which is a brilliant idea for anyone picnicking or hiking, as we were.

This of course doesn't mean I've sorted through my yelp drafts folder in a timely manner, but hey. We did about four stops on the Sunnyslope wine trail, and one oopsie stop at a winery that was closed. This was due to an error in our research, not theirs. Planning your trip can be done with help from Idaho Towncar, or you can spit out your itinerary for your driver to follow dutifully. Our complete stops included Ste. Chapelle, Koenig, Williamson, and Sawtooth, probably not in that order though. By the third stop I was having, as they say, a REALLY SWELL TIME. ;-) Our spacious and comfortable van had room for the six of us to spread out and enjoy ourselves for the duration of the afternoon. Complimentary snacks, sweets, wine glasses, beverages, and sparkling apple ciders were available for us to partake of, as well as the dreaded karaoke machine so that the older generation could embarrass the stuffing out of the youth along for the ride. I was somewhere in the middle of that and enjoyed it immensely. The professionalism and patience of our driver was much appreciated, as was his adaptability in putting up with our requests, and his fun, laidback personality. I would fully recommend this service if you're in the area and want a special experience. They have many vehicles to choose from, in various degrees of fancy schmancy, so if a luxury van isn't your speed, fret not.
