This is a great winery with a wonderful selection of wines. Really cute, but kind of small, tasting room. There was plenty of covered seating outside. Our server, Nicole, was awesome. She explained our tastings very well based on what we told her we liked. The wines were great! They also produce the Chicken Dinner Road wines, but the Huston wines are so much better and worth the price difference. I will definitely visit again! read more

A very nice place to sit and enjoy a great wine flight. The ladies helping us were friendly and of course the resident wine dog was the cherry on top. read more

We love visiting the Huston Vineyards family--every visit is memorable. Their award‑winning wines, beautiful venue, and stunning new tasting room make each trip special, and the friendly team provides excellent, personalized service. We and our friends visit monthly (sometimes more often) and know anyone who joins the Huston Vineyards family will enjoy it as much as we do. Highly recommended. read more

Huston Vineyards - WORLD MALBEC CELEBRATION - Wine Tours Near Me - Caldwell, Idaho

We really enjoyed our visit to this winery. Our wine guide, Kristen, was extremely knowledgeable about the winery, the AVA and the wines produced by the Alger family who live on site. She was a wealth of information and so personable. The covered outdoor seating was perfect on a hot day. They also graciously accommodated our two small dogs. We enjoyed their wines and bought several bottles to take home. If we lived closer, we would regularly visit this winery. I highly recommend Huston Vineyards and make sure you ask for Kristen. She won't steer you wrong. read more

We love this family run winery! The family and staff are amazing and the offer excellent customer service. Five stars for sure! We had the opportunity to attend the barrel tasting event this past weekend. What a great event. It was great to hear directly from the winemaker about the wines and the vision for the winery and future vintages. The barrel room was decorated for Christmas and was very festive and cozy. I enjoyed the wine pairing with our personal charcuterie box. We highly recommend our favorite winery on the Sunny Slope. read more

I was in the area trying to get away from the thick smoke in Boise by myself. I had gone to other wineries in the area and they told me to go here. I got there a bit late in the day. There was no one else there and a staff member was sitting outside. I ordered a glass of the rose and sat under their tent. The glass of wine was good. They had decent music playing. They have bathrooms in another building. However, there is no inside part from what I could see. I had a pleasant chat with the employee when I paid for my glass. I would like to come back and do more of a tasting if back in the area. read more

Great service, friendly staff. We brought a charcuterie board and enjoyed wine sampling. Their Rose Granache surprised me as I'm not typically a Rose person. Malbec was earthy with good pepper notes, as I prefer. Cab, Sarah, and Petite Syrah all hit the spot, even on a warm summer day! If I were local, I would consider a wine club membership! read more

Well, that was unpleasant! Called ahead after reading online that dogs were welcome, as we are traveling with our dog, and we wanted to confirm that we could bring her. And yes dogs are welcome. We had been to this winery years ago and remember it as such a quaint and beautiful winery with good vibes and good wine. When we arrived we were greeted with 'Oh can you wait, we need to put our dog away. She can be aggressive when she wakes up.' Good to know... you have an aggressive dog you let free roam, yet you welcome others? Either keep yours away or don't welcome others. It is your property, you choose. But then it was the attitude between the servers that added to the awkwardness and really ruined our experience. Out loud their conversation, even gesturing to other guests, was for them to give their dog treats because it was now kenneled and then who would be the hero when they were able to let the dog out when we left. Neither of the servers would even look at us. Our twenty pound dog was leashed and never let out a peep or left our side. We were offered to taste. We requested a glass of red and a glass of white as we liked them on our previous visit. Never were we asked how we were doing or if we had any questions regarding the wines or the winery. Mind you they were not busy. We did enjoy the wine, in fact we bought some. BUT we won't be back. If we want anymore we'll purchase at the market. We enjoy a good glass of wine, which we did, and a nice experience, which we did not. Beautiful opportunity for a nice time ruined by how we were treated. read more

Ina was awesome! Great place! Wine is excellent! She gave us some great ideas for the rest of our wine tasting day! read more

We visited Huston Vineyards as part of a wine tour. Such a charming vineyard! The staff were super friendly and let us deter from the set tasting list so that we could try a few extras. I really enjoyed the Chicken Dinner Chardonnay! Great spot that I would visit again. read more

We attended the Mothers Day Brunch at Hustons. The brunch was held in the beautifully manicured yard. The Huston Gruner Veltliner offered was very nice. The food was provided by Open Table Catering and was outstanding. The Huston Rose of Grenache was excellent. The entire event was outstanding! Everyone at our table plans to come again next year. read more

This is one of my favorite Idaho wineries. It's a must stop anytime I'm in the area. Every staff member is friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the wines. My favorites are their reds especially their Cab. Which is also why for my retirement I asked my BF to get me the 3L bottle the sell! What a fun party that would be. If you like good wine and a fun atmosphere definitely stop by Huston!! read more

We stopped here on our way back to CA after enjoying the wine the night before at a restaurant in Donnelly, ID. Very comfortable dog friendly tasting area. Due to COVID we enjoyed our tasting outside. Four pours for $10 fee but waived if you purchase a bottle. Chardonnay is crisp and tasty. Loved every wine, but opted to purchase the reds. A 2018 Malbec and Cab. Looking forward to more releases. read more

Our first stop on the Snake River Winery tour. What a great way to start! Super welcoming and we loved every wine we tried from the Chicken Dinner & Huston labels. The Chicken Dinner White was my favorite! They set up a canopy outside & we were able to enjoy the beautiful weather & scenery. Cute little gift shop. We wound up signing up for the circle club. Definitely check this winery out! read more

Mary was an absolute joy to talk to and sheexplained the Snake Valley region and the wine produced here. Her wines were excellent and we're excited to take some back home to share with friends and family. read more

Incredible service and friendly staff. The adorable winery dog, Mourvèdre, was an added perk. Will be going back!

Nice place but still needs time to mature yet... Definitely one of the stops you need to make for a "Sunny Slope Day Trip"...

Cute little place . Lovely actually. Had a nice vibe . The owner seems like a sweetheart. They have some of the best wine and the very best Rośe in town ! The place inside where you order wine is dark and had a sketchy dip down so your step area so if you're old and feeble it's questionable going in as I didn't see a sign . The bathrooms were nicer than I thought they would be and very clean . Can't wait to go back . I'm read more

We stopped at Huston Vineyards with some of our friends who are wine club members. Both their Chicken Dinner White and Chicken Dinner Red are in my top list of local wines but I have never been to the tasting room. The tasting fee for sampling 5 wines was $5 and they wave the fee with a bottle purchase. Unfortunately the weather was off and on sprinkling so we did not get to enjoy the outside seating and the tasting room is very small with only one bench to sit on. We were able to pick up a couple bags (containing 2 bottles) of my favorite wine and my husband grabbed a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon that we look forward to enjoying soon. read more

Huston Vineyards - Came to pick up more Chicken Dinner White... stayed for tastings - Wine Tours Near Me - Caldwell, Idaho

Huston has to be one of our favorite wineries in the area. Great people ( Gregg and Mary-Owners) are always around to greet and talk wine with you. My favorites are the Chicken Dinner Red (a blend), their Melbac is outstanding, and the Cab. Great place to bring a snack and relax while enjoying the scenery. read more

This is such a fun and beautiful vineyard. If you get lucky and go when they are a little slower they spend a lot of one on one time with you describing the wine and it's history. My favorite wine is the refreshing chicken dinner white wine. They have a tasting room with a small gift shop. They also have a very pleasant outside area. Last time I went they have a few cute puppies roaming around. What more could you want-wine and puppies?! Everyone who works there is very knowledgeable and attentive. One of the greatest wineries in the treasure valley! read more

We had such a great time here yesterday. Excellent wine(Malbec and red label Chardonnay) in such a humble and heartfelt environment. The owner came and spoke to us for a long time and you could see the pride and dedication he had to making great wine. The two vineyard dogs that lounge around and occasionally need pets just add to the fun and ambiance. Overall, a wonderful experience! read more

Stopped by this cute little vineyard on a Saturday afternoon. The property is small but has a lovely seating area nestled beside a garden and under some big shady trees. Inside a detached barn, the tasting room is intimately lit & nicely decorated with lots of winery merch, swag, and info about the Snake River Valley region. Tasting fee for 5 wines was $5, but the fee is waived if you purchase a bottle of wine. I loved the Chicken Dinner Road white, while my husband preferred the Chicken Dinner Road red. We both bought a bottle and therefore didn't have to pay for either of our tasting fees. Very friendly service by both ladies who helped us. Great place to stop along the Sunnyslope Wine Trail region. read more

Outstanding! Chicken Dinner White wine made for the perfect short trip into sunny slope wine country! We had great friendly service, it was clean, and we were greeted by the nicest black lab. The owners, Greg and Mary Alger, were by far the most down to earth and kind people I've ever met in the wine business. Worth every minute, and took home a bottle for later! Can't go wrong here! read more

In a departure from the typical, hillside vineyard and winery, Huston Vineyards has developed their quaint tasting room and winery in an old barn down in the flats on the other side of the hill from the Snake River Valley. But don't let that fool you into thinking that they don't understand grapes, wine, or topography. THIS VINEYARD PRODUCES EXCELLENT WINE! Beyond the wine, the owners are directly involved in every aspect of the business, even operating the tasting room. Furthermore, they know the history of the area they are in. In fact, the barn they operate from was a carefully chosen location. They are strong advocates for the Snake River Wine Region and Idaho wines, and present some of the best education on soils and wine tasting in the area. read more

We just moved from Oregon Willamette valley wine region. We've been to our share our wineries all over Oregon and California, so not newbies to good wine. I was excited to try Hutson as they are right down the road from our new home. Not a great experience. We went during their release party at the warehouse down the road (signs directed), beautiful inside and looked like a cool members event on the lawn. The woman who was pouring our flight was very condescending each time around. My husband asked a question and I accidentally cut her off when we both started to talk at the same time and she rudely said "well do YOU want to explain it?!"...uh, sorry? I wanted to crawl under the table. All of the wines tasted really young, we hard to get through any of them. Not so sure why chicken dinner is so popular?? Especially for the tasting prices compared to others. We paid $30 for dissapointment (and embarrassment). We've tried a few other wineries around that were thankfully much better. Sorry Huston, but this was our first and last visit. read more

The staff were knowledgeable and fun. The wines were average, nothing really stood out. The wines were a bit young. Nice venue.

We had a wonderful afternoon with Mary, a gracious (we were 20 minutes late!) and inviting host! It's a beautiful property in the middle of vineyards and farmland, a perfect place to enjoy carefully crafted wine and the family's story. From their elegant line up of Huston Vineyards wines like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon - shout out to the Private Reserve Chardonnay also! - to their fun and everyday sipping Chicken Dinner Road wines, Gregg and Mary are doing it right for Idaho Wine Country! We can't wait to return. read more

Huston has some great wines and such an amazing staff and atmosphere. Even when they are packed, you feel like you are part of their family. They don't rush you through a tasting and always ensure you got something you liked. If you loved one of them, they will even offer for you to try it again. Try the Reserve Syrah, it's amazing. read more

We made Huston Vineyards our first stop in the Snake River Valley wineries. They fit us in and found a nice table outside where my wife and I plus our dog could relax and enjoy their nice wines. I don't think we had a bad tasting wine throughout the tasting. Excellent service and good value for the money spent. read more

As a wine connoisseur with three decades of serious wine tasting experience throughout Europe, the Mediterranean and the USA, I rate Huston as my favorite boutique winery. Yes it's small and the wine list is limited. BUT --- you will not be disappointed!! Excellent high quality products, reasonable prices, the Chicken Dinner label wines are amazingly good and inexpensive. read more

Great wines. Charming atmosphere. Very knowledgeable about wines of the region. Helpful and friendly. Enjoyed Chicken Dinner White.

Cute little venue and several great wines to choose from and all reasonably priced. They offer growler refills on wine and if I lived in the area I would definitely take advantage of their membership perks. read more

Great vineyard in the Snake River Valley Wine Region. We stopped by the tasting room on a sunny Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the pretty outside sitting area. Mary was a wonderful, hospitable host and we enjoyed tasting the selection of wines. Our favorite was the Merlot but the Chicken Dinner Red and Chicken Dinner White were both excellent too. With a pretty location, wonderful sunshine, and welcoming hosts this is a perfect spot for enjoying the area. read more

Huston is one of our favorite wineries in Idaho, about 30 minute drive from Boise. They have an awesome 2016 Malbec that is less than $30. Nice Pepper finish. Linsey is great and all the other staff are all very friendly and helpful as well. Always a fun place to visit and pickup a bottle or two. read more

Customer service above and beyond what I expected! Chicken Dinner Red is a favorite of my cousin who lives in CA and I wanted to purchase a few bottles for her as a wedding gift. Our family's plan to attend the wedding conflicted with our kid's tournament game, so I had to make other arrangements for the delivery of the wine. My time frame for purchase also seem to conflict with hours of normal operation, BUT Mary returned my call, asked what was convenient for me, and met at my time frame. I cannot say enough about Huston Vineyards wine and their willingness to aid me in my 11 hour! Thank you Mary and Greg!!! read more

I love Huston Vineyard. I've been a few times on wine tours with a large group of friends. Both times they handled our group flawlessly. They didn't hassle us with paying tasting fee prior to the tastings, they kept track of who bought a bottle and who needed to pay at the end without it seeming like a convoluted mess (there were 20 of us besides their other customers). Another unnamed vineyard down the road handled this very poorly so the contrast was very noticeable. I've seen the owners at various tastings. They are always friendly and keep things moving. Yesterday at the Idaho Wine Run the line for Huston was easily 4 times longer than any other winery because their wine is so fantastic. The Chicken Dinner Red is my fave but the White is also delicious. I'm not a huge white fan but their Chardonnay is really good. Some white fans might not like it as well but my friends and I who love reds find it wonderful. read more

Great wine. Greg, Mary and staff are all about great products and great personal experiences. don't miss it.

I think I would have enjoyed this winery more if we hadn't come near the end of the day. I felt like the people working there were ready to go and kind of wanted to serve us and get out. The tastings were only $5 for 5, and if you bought a bottle, it waived the tasting fee. However, they only have 5 wines to choose from for the tastings which I didn't love. I prefer to have a little bit of a choice with the tastings. And my mom doesn't like red at all, and there were only two whites, so she only tasted two. The staff was friendly enough and when they closed at 5 pm, they recommended another winery for us to visit that was open until 6 pm. However, we had mentioned another winery we had visited earlier in the day and said how much we liked it, and the girls working there kind of bad-mouthed this other winery which I thought was in poor taste. I know all the wineries must compete with each other to some extent, but I am sure they also support each other and I would have liked to have seen that more from the people working here. read more
