3100 Cellars
A brief history
There are over 3,100 whitewater river miles in the state of Idaho. We met and our story started on the Middle Fork of the Salmon and we decided to start making sparkling wine in Idaho while on a trip in Hells Canyon. Our winemaking and family journey has had many meanderings through just a fraction of those thousands of miles.
We started making wine in 2014. Hailey's parents helped plant (and now manage) our estate vineyard in 2017. We believe every great wine region in the world should make bubbles and when we started making wine in 2014, no one in Idaho had committed to making world class sparkling wine on a regular basis. So we did! With a few vintages under our belts and one year in the Idaho industry, we snagged one ton of Chardonnay and made some killer wine. Then we let it sit, and sit, and sit until it was tasting a little like an old world style traditional method sparkling wine. We have kept up with that style, allowing our wines to age on average for 3 years, sometimes longer, and sometimes not so long.
The sparkling wine we make is a tribute and thanks to the whitewater that has shaped our story. We strive to make a wine as alive as the rivers that inspire it.
