Idaho’s Snake River Valley is known for its ideal grape-growing climate.

Founded in 1975, Ste Chapelle winery was named after the beautiful La Sainte Chapelle in Paris, which was built by Louis IX as the court chapel during the 13th century. The Snake River Valley's high-altitude vineyards, which enjoy long daylight hours, warm summer days and crisp evenings, supply Ste. Chapelle with superior grapes for its award-winning wines.

It has grown to become the largest winery in Idaho and a hometown favorite that outsells
all others in volume.
