Colter's Creek Winery

In 2007, our love of Earth & Wine led to us to purchase an abandoned vineyard in Juliaetta, Idaho. We have since focused on the expansion and maturation of Colter’s Creek Estate Vineyards. Nestled along the Potlatch and Clearwater Rivers, our vines are carefully maintained to produce outstanding fruit.

Melissa studied wine chemistry and sensory science in graduate school at Washington State University and now applies it to winemaking. Mike, a University of Idaho alum and a self-proclaimed “engineering geek," enjoys designing both winery and vineyard systems, as well as developing interesting cuisine in our restaurant.
