The Northwest’s Gateway to Wine, Culture & Adventure

Must Read

Escape the crowds. Slow down. Savor fall in the Lewis Clark Valley.

As autumn paints the hillsides in gold, crimson, and amber, the Lewis Clark Valley becomes a picture-perfect place to slow down and savor the season. Where Washington and Idaho meet, fall brings crisp days, colorful landscapes, harvest among the vines, and plenty of reasons to linger a little longer.

Sip the Harvest

Fall is a special time in the Lewis-Clark Valley AVA, home to 78+ Platinum Award-winning wines. Wander through vineyards during harvest, visit welcoming tasting rooms, and raise a glass to the season as local vintners celebrate another year among the vines. Pair your tasting with exceptional local cuisine and savor the flavors of the valley.

Golf Through the Peaks & Valleys

Trade crowded courses for scenic riverside golf, where rolling fairways follow the natural contours of a landscape shaped by the Snake and Clearwater rivers over thousands of years. Play among brilliant fall colors, dramatic canyon walls, and sweeping river views.
