History

Sunny Slope

From high atop "Winery Hill," Ste. Chapelle Winery overlooks thousands of acres of fertile orchards and farmland in Southwestern Idaho known as Sunny Slope, with the famous Snake River winding through the valley below.

Named After La Sainte Chapelle

Founded in 1976, Ste. Chapelle Winery is named after the beautiful La Sainte Chapelle in Paris, built by King Louis IX as the court chapel during the 13th century. The winery tasting room follows the airy feel of La Sainte Chapelle with its high, bright cathedral-style windows, vaulted ceilings with wooden beams and a stained glass grapevine window greeting its visitors.

Distributed Throughout the United States

Built with the intention of being a small operation, Ste. Chapelle quickly expanded to meet consumer's demand as the Idaho wine growing region built its reputation. Today the winery is owned by Ascentia Wine Estates and is producing approximately 155,000 cases of award winning wine annually which are distributed throughout the United States.
