Pend d'Oreille Winery
|
|
After years of acquiring winemaking experience both in France and stateside, Pend d'Oreille Winery owners, Julie and Stephen Meyer established their winery in Sandpoint, known for its scenic beauty. Pend d'Orielle Winery produces award winning wines including wines including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and reserve wines available only through the winery. An emphasis on balance and elegance results in wines that flatter the meals with which they are served. By hand harvesting the grapes, gently handling and slowly aging the wines in French oak barrels, they make wines that are complex and elegant, with a sophisticated balance between fruit and oak flavor. This patience is paying off in the awards, two years in a row judged "Best of Idaho." The winery's new tasting room and gallery features an elegant tasting bar made of local hardwood by area craftsmen. Informative tastings and tours of the winery are conducted by the winemaker. When visiting the winery, gallery and tasting room, enjoy the vast array of recreational and cultural opportunities near Lake Pend d'Orielle: Schweitzer Ski Resort, the annual Music Festival at Sandpoint and the area's burgeoning arts community.
