3 Horse Ranch Vineyards | 5900 Pearl Rd

ABOUT 3 HORSE RANCH VINEYARDS LLC.

Nestled in Idaho’s Eagle Foothills AVA, 3 Horse Ranch Vineyards is a locally family‑owned estate winery focused on showcasing the character of its land. The vineyard produces fine estate wines using 100% Idaho‑grown grapes and offers a broad selection of red and white varietals shaped by long summer days, cooling evenings and varied elevations unique to the region.

The property holds a special place in Idaho wine history through co‑owner Martha Cunningham, a key figure behind the establishment of the Eagle Foothills AVA. As highlighted in Eagle Magazine, Cunningham played a vital role in scientifically defining and securing federal recognition for the region, helping create the foundation for sub‑AVAs like the Eagle Foothills and giving Idaho wine a credible identity on the national stage.

In 2021, 3 Horse Ranch Vineyards expanded with a full‑production winery featuring underground barrel rooms and the Ranch House restaurant. The Ranch House offers a destination tasting experience with casual, scratch‑made French‑American cuisine paired with estate wines, all enjoyed alongside sweeping views of the Eagle Foothills AVA.
