Travel
the awe-inspiring landscape of Northern Idaho and its narrow, far-north "Panhandle" and you will find a loop of 16 wineries;
four of the wineries are located Idaho's borders, the other 12 are in Washington.  Political boundaries are insignificant in this area, since all lie near the two-state border.. in the far northwest of Idaho, and the far northeast of Washington.

Ignore the border for a fabulous wine-touring opportunity that combines fine wine tasting with extraordinary travel through the rolling wheat fields of The Palouse, the beautiful and popular lakes areas of Coeur d'Alene Lake and Lake Pend Oreille just east of Spokane, WA.  This may be one of the most spectacularly beautiful drives in the Pacific Northwest!

Scenic highways abound in Idaho's Panhandle, leading visitors to viewpoints, through river canyons and rolling wheat fields as far as the eye can see.  Other roads run alongside Idaho's largest, deepest and arguably, most beautiful lake -- Coeur d'Alene.  The lake's namesake, the City of Coeur d'Alene, is a popular visitor's destination and home to Coeur d'Alene Cellars and nearby TimberRock Winery in Post Fallsl.  Lake Pend d'Oreille, to the north, is a visual treat in its own right, featuring the quaint town of Sandpoint at its northern end... another popular travel destination and the location Idaho's northernmost winery... Pend d'Oreille Winery.

Sandpoint Wine Bars

Enoteca at Ivano’s Ristorante
Pretty nice wine bar in the restaurant. As their commercials say, have a taste, buy a glass, bottle, or case.
102 South First Street
Sandpoint, Idaho 83864
(208) 263-0211

Coldwater Creek
Really don't like the new digs as much as the old wine bar at the Cedar Street Bridge. It was homey, warm, and typically North Idaho with big, overstuffed leather couches and chairs. Plus, they are a little overpriced, and maybe a bit snobby. The new large upstairs wine bar is more antisceptic than. They have an ever-changing wine list, hors d‘oeuvres, a large fireplace and a great atmosphere. They also have live music on Thursdays and Fridays.

Dulce
Dulce is a nice addition to the Sand Creek Grill. While it can be simply for relaxing before or after your meal, it does just fine on its own. They pair wines with appetizers or sushi, and have a pretty nice assortment of desserts and coffee’s. Sit by the fire, relax, and enjoy. Super nice..

Cafe Trinity (Eclectic Southern & New Orleans Cuisine)
Okay, so Chef Gabe used to be the chef at Beyond Hope when we lived on the Hope Peninsula. Then he became the instructor for the local Culinary program, that I helped start. So I kinda like him personally. Plus their menu features Southern-inspired food, such as gumbo, éttoufé and Po'Boy sandwiches, as well as steaks and fresh seafood. Well, I am from New Orleans, and they do it well. First year they were open they were Sandpoint’s best new restaurant. Whether you are having dinner on their nice deck overlooking Sand Creek, or sitting at the dining bar and exhibition kitchen, you will enjoy a taste of the South in beautiful North Idaho. Serving lunch and dinner. Beer and wine available.

Three Glasses (Incredible Italian food and wine list)
A superlative wine bar in the cellar area behind First Street, this restaurant is the lovingly portrayed efforts of John and Darcy Peters, my neighbors from the Hope Peninsula. They brought in a chef from Alba Italy, Luigi, and the ambiance, decor, and wine selection matches the food perfectly. In a word: wonderful. The piano streams live music, and while very well appointed, the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. In the works is an addition to the restaurant upstairs, as well as a gourmet deli. Did we need this restaurant? Absolutely. With so many new and very good offerings for eateries in Sandpoint, this is the best. A welcome addition.

Stage Right
A nice little excursion right next to the Panida Theatre on First Street in Sandpoint. Offering  primarily Northwest wine, Stage Right replace Wine Sellers by the Lake. Besides having divans and sofas, offering perhaps one of the most comfortable places to relax and enjoy a glass of wine, they also have live music and comedy on certain nights. This is the place to go before and/or after a show at the Panida, but also one of a great bevy of new and existing wine bars in Sandpoint.
