It all begins
with a dream.

Each of our wines sing a song of passion, creativity, commitment, and a celebration of life and love. Taste the stories of the Holesinsky family with every sip.

Holesinsky Vineyard + Winery was the first of a growing trend in Idaho’s vineyards and wineries. It started with a dream and was brought to fruition by winemaker, James Holesinsky, to honor his father, Frank’s, lifelong dream.

What started out as a family dairy above the Snake River in the 1970s…

took a completely new direction in 2001 when 21-year-old James Holesinsky planted a plot of 1,000 Chardonnay grapes. Since then, Holesinsky Vineyard + Winery has become one of Idaho’s most sought-after vineyards and wineries. Not only does Holesinsky Vineyard + Winery continue to expand with varieties like Syrah, Merlot, and Moscato. In addition to wines, Holesinsky also produces Idawater, a refreshing and delicious sparkling water, and crafted vodka, made from Idaho potatoes, of course.
