Williamson Vineyards is thankful for the loyal support of our wine club! This next year we are going to share a little about a few of our most supportive members. We can’t do what we do without our amazing wine club ambassadors. Cheers!
Two of our most amazing wine club ambassadors ever, are Karen Bowles and Susan Daly! This sweet set of sisters have been members of our wine club for 9-10 years! Karen and Susan host a wine gathering every year, often featuring an Idaho winery. These classy ladies don’t just throw any wine soirée! They turn it into a fun and educational gathering with different themes, where they share some of their favorite wines with their friends.
Susan told us some fun facts: ” I put the wines in groups on my dining room table to include the reds, red blends, dry whites, sweets, verticals. In the middle of the table I made a copy of the importance of the windmill that was on the back of one of your wine labels, I purchased a mini steel windmill, and a copy of the Williamson logo”, “We had 3 vertical tastings. The 2018 and 2019 Riesling. The 2018 and 2019 windmill red. I think, the 3rd vertical was the 2018 and the 2019 Malbec”
These amazing wine club members have obviously been planning this for a while, and we were honored to find out that their latest epic wine party featured all Williamson Vineyards wines!! Thank you Karen and Susan for making Williamson’s wines a part of your annual tradition.
*We would have loved a picture of them together, but one of our ladies was always taking pictures!

Dan and Candi Puga
This cute couple has been in the Sunnyslope area and have known each other since kindergarten! They have raised a beautiful family and are very active in the local community. They have been members at Williamson’s for roughly 10 years!
How did you find Williamson Orchards & Vineyards? The current Williamson siblings were a few years younger than us in school and we also attended church with the family. One day around our 20th anniversary, we took a drive around Sunnyslope area, and were pleasantly surprised that wineries were popping up all around the area. Going to the wineries has became a weekend date tradition.
Why did you become a member? I’m not exactly sure our joining date, but it was one of our early memberships. The picture (above on left) in front of the old fruitstand shed and tasting room was May of 2015, a beautiful Mother’s Day. We later used that picture for our 25th wedding party invite!
Tell us about some of your experiences at Williamson’s. We appreciate the welcoming service even during the difficult season of covid. To this day, Williamson’s is one of our favorite stops along the Sunnyslope wine trail and we love the new conveniently located tasting room.
What are some of your favorite wines? Williamson’s provides a wide variety of wines that we both enjoy and love. Dan tends to taste the reds and I stick with the rosés or whites. Some of our favorite wines include Sangiovese, Red Blends, Petite Sirah, Dry Riesling, Blossom, and Lilly White.
From our family to yours
Dear Friends and Followers,
I don’t know about you but I could do with a glass of wine right about now!
This has been a trying few days, to say the least. Our family has been farming here in Idaho for generations and I can’t recall a time quite like this before. So I would like to start by saying from my family to yours, I hope you are staying safe, healthy and finding some mental well-being in all of this craziness.
Undoubtedly, you have heard about Covid-19 and have probably have an inbox full of emails like this, explaining how everyone is adapting. Mike, Patrick and myself have given extensive thought to how we can help do our part to stop the spread of this virus while still keeping our company viable. After some very tough deliberation we have decided to limit risk to our staff and clientele by suspending wine tasting for the foreseeable future. That being said the tasting room will remain open for bottle sales and wine club pick-up effective March 19th.
We are offering curbside pick up in an effort to limit contact while providing as much personal service to our customers as we can. In addition, we will begin implementing customer conveniences like online ordering & local delivery very soon.
We will be utilizing minimal staffing during our hours of operation, in another effort to practice social distancing until circumstances change. While we have always tried to maintain a clean establishment, we have already enhanced our cleaning and sterilizing procedures to protect staff and guests from potential spread of the virus.
Finally, I want to say thank you to all our supporters! Thank you for sticking with us and supporting us during this trying time. Remember that with every bottle you purchase you are supporting 14 Williamson family members, 10 amazing tasting room and office staff and 15 of the hardest working field crew. So, I speak for all of us at Williamson Orchards & Vineyards when I say a very heartfelt thank you to our wine club members and all our followers out there.
From my family to yours, thank you and be well!
Sincerely,
Beverly Williamson
Williamson Orchards & Vineyards
Owner & Director of Sales
Curbside Pick Up
We are encouraging our guests to call ahead and arrange for curb-side service. You can reach us by phone – 208.459.7333, message us or via Facebook where will take your order and arrange a pick up time. When you arrive on site we ask that you call the tasting room (208.459.7333) to let staff know that you are outside and ready to receive your bottles of wine (or as I like to call them, little vessels of sanity). If you are already in our point of sale system we can process your order through your account or we can accept payment upon arrival. Just a bit of advice – credit cards require the least amount of contact but we can always accept cash.
Wine Club
We want to remind our members that we don’t have to let Covid-19 keep us from enjoying what makes us happy. In fact, our members can look forward to our next wine club release on April 3, 2020! We’ve planned a little something extra in your April release – Mixed and Red members will receive the newly released 2018 Syrah and it’s delicious!
Local Delivery
Starting in April we will be offering free local delivery to wine club members in response to our unprecedented circumstances. This includes delivery of the April (and past) wine club release as well as any additional wine purchases. Our delivery range includes Boise, Garden City, Star, Eagle, Meridian, Middleton, Caldwell, Nampa, Kuna, Homedale and Marsing. If you are outside of these towns, get ahold of us (208.459.7333 or message) and we’ll see what we can do. Please keep in mind that someone over 21 years of age must receive the wine.
