Best Wine Lists in Idaho

Studio 107

· Coeur d'Alene · Wine Bar & Small Plates

The Wild Card

Studio 107 is the kind of place that earns its Wild Card badge by existing at all — a genuine wine bar in a mid-size Idaho city, tucked inside an art gallery, with enough self-awareness to keep the list focused instead of pretending to be something it's not. If you're in Coeur d'Alene and want a glass of something French with a charcuterie board surrounded by local art, this is your spot.

Lola Wine Lounge

· Coeur d'Alene · Wine bar

The Wild Card

Lola Wine Lounge is a genuine Wild Card — a single-producer wine bar in the Idaho panhandle that bets everything on LOLA's artisanal lineup and mostly wins. If you want variety across regions and producers, this isn't your spot; if you want to actually learn something about under-the-radar California varietals in a relaxed setting, it's worth a stop.

Stylus Wine & Vinyl Bar

· Coeur d'Alene · Wine Bar / Small Plates

The Wild Card

Stylus is the kind of place that shouldn't exist in a mid-sized Idaho city but absolutely does, and you should go before the rest of the country catches on. If you're road-tripping through the Panhandle or landing in Coeur d'Alene for a weekend, this is your first stop — not your last.

Tony's on the Lake

· Coeur d'Alene · Italian

The Reliable

Tony's on the Lake is a solid wine list in a beautiful room — not a destination for serious wine hunting, but a reliable companion to a good Italian meal with a lake view. If you're going on a Thursday, pay attention to what's on special before you sit down.

Midtown Bluebird

Midtown · Coeur d'Alene · New American

The Reliable

Midtown Bluebird isn't going to win any wine destination awards, but it earns its keep as a reliable neighborhood pour in a town that doesn't have a lot of competition. If you're in Coeur d'Alene and want something decent from the Northwest without getting gouged, this is a solid call.

Base Camp Wine & Co.

· Coeur d'Alene · Wine bar & shop

The Wild Card

Base Camp is the kind of focused, regional specialist that every mid-sized city should have — not trying to out-fancy anyone, just quietly stocking some of Washington's best and keeping prices honest. If you're near Coeur d'Alene and care about Pacific Northwest wine, this is your stop.

Satay Bistro

· Coeur d'Alene · New American / Steak & Seafood

The Reliable

Satay Bistro isn't trying to be a wine destination, but the list punches above its weight for Coeur d'Alene — fair prices, a real by-the-glass program, and a few producers worth knowing. Send your friends here knowing they won't get ripped off.

Seasons of Coeur d'Alene

· Coeur d'Alene · New American / Seasonal

The Lazy List

Seasons of Coeur d'Alene is clearly focused on the food, and that's fine — but four wines at a New American restaurant in 2024 is a choice, and not a good one. Order the Gewurztraminer, enjoy whatever's seasonal on the plate, and don't come here expecting anything more from the wine side of things.

Wine House CDA

· Coeur d'Alene · Wine Bar

The Wild Card

Wine House CDA is a small list with a genuine point of view — more global curiosity than anyone expects from a wine bar in Coeur d'Alene, and that's worth showing up for. If you're tired of the same Napa Cab and Pinot Grigio routine, this is your detour.

Beverly's

· Coeur d'Alene · Fine Dining American

The Wild Card

Beverly's is doing something genuinely unexpected in the Idaho Panhandle — a Champagne-forward list with real grower depth that earns its place alongside any serious fine dining wine program in a much bigger city. If you care about bubbles at all, this one's worth the trip.

Cedar's Floating Restaurant Bar Lounge

Lake Coeur d'Alene · Coeur d'Alene · Lounge

The Wild Card

Cedar's earns its Wild Card badge not because the list is revolutionary, but because a 120-label program with local Idaho pours and a sommelier on staff is the last thing you expect from a tourist-magnet floating lounge. Send your friends here, point them toward the Coeur d'Alene Cellars glass pours, and let the lake do the rest of the work.

Vine & Olive Eatery and Wine Bar

North Main · Coeur d'Alene · New American small plates and wine bar

The Reliable

Vine & Olive isn't trying to be a destination wine list, but it's the kind of place you'd confidently bring a wine-curious friend knowing they won't be let down. For the Inland Northwest, that's worth something.
