Our Story

Split Rail winery is propagated by the minds of a new generation of drinker. We create wine that is spawned from whimsy and redolent of the soil that we stand upon. Let us bring the farm to your glass; bring Idaho soil to your lips.

In its most basic sense, Split Rail Winery emerged from a fervent belief in supporting local agriculture and creating Idaho-centric products, exploring new wines and wine styles, and an unfettered love for drinking, eating and debauchery. We invite you to consume either with or without us.

Drink Idaho and be proud! Raise your fist and pump it wildly as you swallow! Finish a few bottles and run with the wolves! Be Idaho-at-heart and not without soul.
— The Wine Shaman

Our Focus

We have a core focus on Rhone varietals and it’s our goal to never make the same wine twice. New different spins on specific grapes and exploring different production techniques keeps us relevant. We believe in what we release, and we want your palate to be as intrigued as our minds. The world evolves - and we want to evolve with it.
