Telaya Wine Co.

BEST! Wonderful winery on the Boise River greenbelt. Delicious, refreshing wines. Sparkling, Rose, Whites, and Reds are all packed with flavor and love. Great picturesque setting, views, people watching, and conversations. The owners and team members are welcoming and kind. Must go when in the area. Excellent all around.

My husband and I had a great experience! We had the white wine flight and reserve flight + a snacking board. Our waiter Josh was fantastic. Highly recommend stopping here! Our favorite wines were: (red) Malbec Reserve, (white) Grenache Blanc.

Josh was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the wines offered. We were on a scenic bike ride when we came across this treasure!

We absolutely adored it here! We came and everyone was so kind, and we had the best waitress (omg ask for Britney, just the best) , and she was just so helpful and so wonderful and so so informative. And there was music and the wine was great. It was just an overall great time.

This is a local winery in town that sits on the edge of the Boise river that runs through Boise. They have a beautiful facility and the outside patio and seating is beautiful in the warmer weather. We enjoyed our time there sipping some very good wines.

Peaceful sitting area outside to watch the foot traffic by the water while sipping wine. I have to admit the chocolate with sea salt was my favorite.

We strolled past this winery while trying to get fresh air on a sad day for our family. The cool air and river view lured us to the patio. We are so glad it did! The staff was wonderfully friendly, especially our server Cecelia. We enjoyed the views, the wine, the grazing board, and the inspired chit chats of family memories on the patio. We will certainly be back!

Fabulous evening at the winery! Visiting from out of state with a friend and Josh made our evening so fun. He had great local recommendations too! See you this Saturday! 🎉

The best patio on the river! Came here for Mother's Day last year and everything was wonderful. They were super busy, but we were able to get a table on their patio and had the best time. They are family friendly too and I didn't feel shamed for bringing my kids with me to wine taste. Also, their wine is delicious!! It's hard to choose a favorite.

Telfaya Winery offered a wonderful experience! The red wine flight featured four beautifully balanced reds, each with distinct character and depth. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, making the tasting both relaxing and informative. Love their outdoor section and that they are dog friendly! They have a small food menu which I think could match the wines a little better but it makes it a great spot to spend an afternoon. A definite must visit for wine lovers!

Location, location, location. Best riverfront/greenbelt frontage and outdoor patio around. Friendly, helpful servers. Best part of the service was that they have sunblock available for patrons. Saved this unprepared, fair skin fellow. Only down side to this establishment is the lack of a kitchen/food. There's always food trucks or other stops along the paths.

We had such an amazing experience here! We sat outside in the winter around the fire, overlooking the river, and had delicious wine. Service (Cecilia), snacks and wine were great!

Thank you Lauren for taking care of us on our vacation! She was very knowledgeable about the entire collection and accommodated my girlfriend with a sample of one of the sweeter wines. She didn't end up liking the wine, but really loved the sparkling hard cider that Lauren ended up choosing for us. Amazing experience, and the Boise greenbelt being our backdrop certainly helped! FYI, all of the wines in the summer flight are pretty dry, but not so much that they're unpalatable. I personally didn't end up buying a bottle, but it could be someone else's cup of tea!

With a beautiful view of the view of the Boise River and Green Belt, this is a fantastic spot to people watch and enjoy some fantastic wine with friends! Super casual, with a food truck right outside that can deliver to you without having to leave your seat, I couldn't have asked for anything more!

LOVE this winery for its wines but also for its location. It is on the greenbelt and has a lovely outdoor area with lawn and plenty of tables and chairs and Adirondack seating on the lawn. It's so nice to go for even just a quick glass of wine, as you enjoy the company of others, grab a light snack and just people watch as ambitious athletes run and bike the trail. I prefer being on this side of the fence drinking their sparkling wines and listening to the water move past. The service is always welcoming and friendly and you're able to seat yourself rather than wait for placement. Go find your perfect seat and just enjoy the peacefulness of the surroundings.

Best location on the Boise River! Wines are spectacular and worth joining their club. They have great tasting events, large outdoor patio, music and for those who choose trips to European wine country. Enjoy Boise

Food was lacking but the ambiance and service was great and the wine flight was just perfect pours.

I can't believe I haven't reviews Telaya winery yet. This is a great Treasure Valley find. The vibe is awesome with lots of seating but the best part is sitting in the Boise River bike trail and enjoying all the beauty of the Boise River and people watching. They have lots of shaded areas as well so your bait in the direct sun. Staff here is pretty awesome and every time we have left we have left 100% satisfied. The staff has great wine knowledge and the only thing I wish this had more of is locally Idaho grown grapes. For food they have light tapa options and for us we always like splitting the charcuterie option served in an ice cold chilled container to keep cold. A little pricey for what you get but it's a perfect snack while wine tasting. I have nothing bad to say about any of their wines and have enjoyed both the reds and whites. I would highly recommend this place to anyone whether local or not. This is a very cool spot to hang out and enjoy all Boise has to offer.

My husband and I were riding Lime scooters along the greenbelt and came across this winery. I knew we had to stop by! The patio is just perfect. Spacious, Adirondack chairs and fire pits, grassy areas, views of the river, right next to the trail, lots of sunshine. We came right when they opened at noon on a Friday. The atmosphere gets 5 stars, but the wine and service get more like a 3-4. Not much service is needed when just having wine. But I was kind of surprised that our server just brought out my white wine flight, handed me a paper that told me about each wine, then left. I've done many wine tastings and much prefer when the staff talk about each wine, where the grapes are grown, what makes the wines on the flight different, personal opinions on them, etc. There was nothing to the service except delivering the wine to us and checking on us once or twice. I wish it had been more personal and informational! The wines themselves were pretty average, I didn't feel the need to buy a bottle. I enjoyed having a flight of all white wines though. The best one was the Viognier in my opinion! The flight was $20 for 4 pours which wasn't bad. My husband got a glass of red wine, the Tempranillo. He said it was the lightest red they had which I thought still tasted quite bold. He said it grew on him the more he drank it, but still not a huge fan. Despite the wine itself being pretty average in our opinion, we had such a lovely time hanging out on their patio! It's the perfect place to be on a sunny Spring day.

It's the total package - great wine, food (Terroir Food Truck) , and location. Glad to be a member

I think I might be a little spoiled, being from near Napa Valley, so I was a little unimpressed with the wine (I'm so sorry!!). But, me and my girlfriends had a nice little visit here one afternoon. We stayed for a couple glasses of wine and some bites of food. We didn't care for the food, but might have just been what we chose. Service was quite slow, but might have been due to the crowd level. All-in-all, our visit was FINE. I probably wouldn't suggest it to out-of-towners, though.

Who would have guessed that Idaho has a wine region and lovely wine tasting rooms? Not me! But yes they certainly do make wine in Idaho and its pretty darn tasty as well! Telaya Wine company tasting room was a short scenic stroll from our hotel overlooking the Boise River. The winery itself was just lovely inside and out. On the day we visited the weather was just perfect to sit outside on their very nice patio area. We consider ourselves as somewhat wine snobs as we live in one of California's wine country areas, with access to Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino wineries at our finger tips. Telaya shattered our air of superiority with the first sip of their lovely wines! We tried both the mixed flight and the red flight and were impressed with the quality and taste of the wines. We wanted to buy some to take home, but we didn't bring a wine suitcase with us, as we didn't expect to do any wine tasting in Idaho, of all places. Bummer since the airline we travelled with lets you check up to case of wine free.Ugh! Oh well, now we know, and will plan better on our next trip to Idaho. Service was friendly and welcoming. Our wine ambassador (shout out to Austen M..) was very knowledgeable about the wines he poured and gave us an introduction into their wine region and varietals grown. The total experience would rival any wine tasting in California. So, now you know that Idaho produces fine wines at prices that don't break the bank, I might add. I high!y recommend you add Telaya to your itinerary when visiting the Boise area. You will be pleasantly surprised, like we were, I am sure of it!

Are you kidding me with theee kiddie pools for your feet?! This place is amazing! Also- Joshua helped us and he was amazing setting everything up and making our experience one of the best. This our go to spot for a lazy or cozy Sunday.

Great wine and great service! Outdoor patio area is very nice right by the river, great ambiance and I can't say enough about the service

Probably one of my favorites of the wineries we went to while we were visiting. We sat on the patio and enjoyed wine flights. I ended up purchasing 2 bottles to have shipped to me. Shipping wasn't outrageous and the wine arrived to my home safely. Service was quick and they even made sure we had blankets since it was a bit chilly by the water. This set the standard for wineries we visited while in the area. Would absolutely return here. The red wines were fabulous.

The staff is amazing, excellent service and so friendly! You cannot beat the location or ambience right on the river. The food truck there is fast and provides a few options but they are all good. Live music is often playing - such a great vibe.

As a woman of color, (I'm black) this is my first time in Idaho. I'm 25. And went on a solo trip to see the mountains (I'm from Texas ) I wanted to do something I've never done. TikTok warned me that Idaho wasn't BPF (black ppl friendly) my Airbnb host was awful kind. (Joseph) I came to this winery and I was the only black woman- which didn't bother me honestly. I came alone, I was asked twice if I was meeting somewhere; which is fine. However- I was treated seemingly no different than anyone else here. Service was quick, the lady (sorry I didn't get your name! ) and Garrod were awful hospitable and tremendously kind. From the phone call I gave to make sure the TikTok itinerary I saw was accurate, to the smiles at the door! I enjoyed my solo date 10,000%. I didn't order any food due to me having plans elsewhere proceeding this however- Ima 25 year old black woman im not finna lie on these folk internet! I 100% RECOMMEND TELAYA WINERY! Thank you all so much for the elite hospitality and pleasant ambiance.

This place has such a cute vibe! A girlfriend and I were in town and walked to this winery on a Sunday. It was filled with people enjoying the great weather and listening to the live music. There is a pathway between the winery and river that adds to the ambiance. Their flight consisted of mainly whites and we both prefer refs so we went with a glass. Both tasted great! There was a food truck serving food - they had a burger that I didn't see listed when I checked out their IG. I wish there was more details on the menu as we opted to eat before since what we saw originally didn't jive with what we wanted. Overall, loved the vibe and if I'm back in Boise plan to come back!

This was our first time here and it did not disappoint! We stumbled upon this cute place while on our walk around the Greenbelt. The outdoor patio is so nice with views of the Boise River. Our server Heather was great, super friendly. We had mimosas that were great. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend!

Gorgeous beautiful Sunday to walk the river and go wine tasting with the young parents and grandkids. We ordered 4 wine flights and a charcuterie board. The wine was brought out, all good! 20 minutes later our waitress said they were working on the food...no problem. 40 minutes later same update, "they're working on it". After 1 hour my son in law went to check. Nothing going. At this point we had been drinking wine on empty stomachs and it was already 1 hour since we were seated. We canceled the food and were deciding to get going and maybe see what the food truck nearby had going, but we still had a few glasses of wine that we didn't want to waste, but didn't want to drink anymore without food. I went to talk to someone who presented herself as a manager. I told her the situation, she seemed clueless as to how to address the poor service. She asked me what she could do. I asked her how she could make this experience right. She said she could provide 4 certificates for future complimentary wine flights. That seemed fair. We said thank you and went back to our table. Our waitress came by and said the person who makes the boards came in late, but is working on it. We let her know that we canceled it and the manager was going to cover 4 flights of wine. Our waitress said the person we spoke with is not a manager, and is actually new, and doesn't have the authority to do what she did! What an unprofessional shit show! No sense of what acceptable service is. No sense of how to make a bad experience right. Under normal circumstances we would have purchased a couple of bottles to take home. We would be looking to our next visit since Telaya has a great location right by the Boise River. But no, we will not be coming back. Our waitress did comp the wine flights, but that really did nothing to make an overall bad experience any better. Guessing the Boise area is falling into the California trap of taking the newfound money flow to the area for granted.

Went there yesterday for the first time, and I loved it. Don't remember what we ate, but it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic, the wait staff were very friendly and helpful, and there's no tipping. What more could you ask for?

First stop on our Girl's Weekend trip. Great ambience, wonderful wine & our Wine Ambassador, Heather, who was so attentive & wonderful! Could not have asked for a better experience!

Wine, people, location all amazing! Heather was awesome! Highly recommend if you like good wine and great service.

Love this place. Amazing location right on the river with a big patio, friendly, super helpful staff, great wines! Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our visit at Tenaya Wine! Nice wines and friendly people. The staff is awesome. They welcomed us and our dog on a rainy afternoon and even gave us a quick tour of their operation. We will be back!

I have always enjoyed coming to this winery. they have a beautiful spot right on the green belt with the river steps away and they have recently expanded their patio to include all the green space. it's kind of silly the way it's set up because they have this giant rock ditch in the middle but they figured out how to set up chairs around it with umbrellas. they made the best of what they had. we came on a saturday mid day and they sat us right away in a cozy spot outside. plenty of shade and it was good people watching seeing all the passerby's on the green belt. I started with a glass of rosè that was lovely. full bodied but also light and crisp. it was perfect for the warm day. after that I had a glass of the malbec which was also lovely. the server was friendly and very attentive despite the fact that they were pretty busy that day. we never had empty glasses, which is always a plus. if you want to go to a winery inside boise, I prefer this one and cinder.

Stopped in for an afternoon tasting while visiting family in Boise. I loved the outdoor seating area and general relaxed vibes of this place. The wine flights were reasonably priced and we liked a couple of reds so much that we bought a few bottles on our way out! Highly recommend for a taste of Idaho wine right in Boise!

My wife and I were riding bikes on the Green Belt and came across Telaya Winery. The place is beautiful and the view is fantastic sitting outside. We only had one glass of the Chardonnay but it was very tasty. The service was great and they're all friendly and helpful. Stop in if you're in the area it's a great spot to sip some good vino.

Great wine. Great service And a beautiful setting by the river. You really have a relaxing time.

What an amazing place. My husband and I went there for our first time today to celebrate our anniversary. The patio is incredible and their wines fabulous. Our waiter Austin was amazing. Very knowledgeable about their wines and a breath of fresh air. If there was more Austin's in the service industry there would be many many happy patrons. Can't wait to go back!

Was at Telaya on Saturday with friends for the first time. Richard was our host and he was absolutely amazing! I'm from California and belong to several wine clubs in the Napa Valley Region and Richard by far was better than anyone from the Napa Region. He was personable, fun and very knowledgeable! We drank delicious wine and learned so much and laughed lots! Cheers Telaya and thanks Richard for the best experience

This is a great location, beautiful view of the river, and great service! They are very knowledgeable and spent time sharing wine tasting tips with my niece who had just turned 21. I learned a lot too!

Very upscale winery right on the Blair river walk. We came for a food truck (shout out to Crisp!) and we sat inside to enjoy our food. They brought us fancy glass bottles of water and offered a tasting flight or glass of wine. We didn't have time to sit so we got a bottle of wine to go as a gift. This place was crowded (in a good way!), very lively, and you can tell they value their customers. We will be back to try a wine flight, they make all of the wine there at the winery.

As soon as I rolled up, I knew I had made the right decision in coming here. I had been on a mission to get some wine the last few days and with all of the vineyards being too far away for a Lyft ride, I decided to come here. On the ride over, it seems to be in an almost industrial area right off of the freeway but after arriving, I saw that it was right on the Greenbelt, next to the river and a very nice trail. The place was packed and it was a gorgeous day and I wanted to sit outside, though in the shade. There were not spots outside so I was taken inside and sat at a large, empty table that was obviously being set aside in case a larger group came. Lucky for me I got there first. I was seated and within 30 seconds a woman came over and told me she would move me outside. I was happy and got up but she took me to a spot in direct sunlight and said the sun would go behind the building in 20 minutes. I contested this and she then moved me back to my table saying it was only for large groups but I could sit there. She seemed quite annoyed by this but which was very off-putting but to make up for it she gave a me a full, complimentary glass of wine which was extremely nice of her. When my waitress came, I ordered a flight and found out you could only choose out of 5 wines for your flight of 4. I asked if it was possible to try another one off of their other menu and she said normally no, but she was happy to oblige which again, was very kind and scores high marks in my book. The wines were all very tasty and the environment was very nice to sit in. Huge windows looked on to their patio and though you couldn't see the river, you could see plenty of trees and greenery and people enjoying their weekend. I would definitely recommend coming here, especially on a day when the weather is lovely.

Amazing place! Awesome view, but the service was the best and what set it apart. Tasty little cheese board and the local wines from ID and WA were superb. Highly recommended, great deal, and 5 star. Enjoy!

Probably one of the most beautiful spots in Boise to have a glass of wine. Nicole was very accommodating and informative.

Amazing Experience! Our first time visiting Telaya, and we had a fantastic time. We ordered a bottle of their Pinot Grigio which was spectacular and the customer service was exceptional! We also ordered a charcuterie board, and it included several different great tasting cheeses! We found the premises to be extremely clean inside and out! The staff was courteous, attentive and ensured all tables and chairs were thoroughly sanitized. The owner, Earl introduced himself and provided us with the history of Telaya Wines. Plenty of parking is available very close to the tasting room. Keep up the good work! We will be back soon!

The wine was great and our server was awesome! We enjoyed the view of the Boise, but they could use some misters to keep the outside cooler. It was hot and the ceiling fans were not enough. We will go back again for sure.

Really convenient to bike or electric scooter to on the green belt. Outside seating area is literally right on the green belt and provides nice views and constant entertainment. Entrance is outside and one way only during Covid. Masks are required when not at your table. Exit is inside and one way only. Nice sign that offers free parking overnight and phone numbers for cab service. This is probably "cover your butt", but it was really nice to see. Inside bar is where you would normally order from, however you order at your table during COVID-19. Nice clean restrooms inside. Separate men and women's restrooms. Wine flight fall selection was $18 for three 3oz pours. Seems like a fair price for such a nice place. You can also buy bottles for your table and this may be less expensive for a larger party. This was my first time here and service was really good from David. There is a QR code on the table to link to the current menu and pricing. Food truck out front: We ordered the Wagyu hamburger add a second patty for $2 and Rosemary sea salt fries. Fries were ok, but a small portion for $5 and I wouldn't get them again. Burger was excellent and $10+2=$12. I'd just get that next time and try something else too.

Love their wine. Love the atmosphere. Love the location. But... every time I'm there, when let them know I'm done ordering it takes uncomfortably long to get the bill and pay. Give yourself 30 minutes from the time you let them know you're done until you want to be out the door.

Our first time at Telaya was today for our anniversary celebration and it certainly won't be our last! The ambiance is unbeatable right by the river and the service was incredible as well, not to mention the delicious wine! We will def be regulars and the wine club is a great deal to consider too! Love this place

What a great place! Grab a few pals and make your way to Telaya. Bring some snackies or chance there is a food truck available. Grab a blanket and cozy up next to a fire or heater and watch the people that are out and about on the greenbelt. In the warmer months, sit on the patio and watch the river come to life. (Patio heaven alert!) Not only is this setup preeeemo for people watching, mingling, and relaxing, it is also preeeemo for grabbing a fantastic wine (by glass or bottle) or a beer (limited selection). The employees are fantastic and know people there by name. They roam around, mingle, and deliver a drink if your glass is empty. Like magic! Poof, full glass! Such a relaxing and fun setting.

great setting, friendly staff. Had a great time hanging with my friend here.

Finally, finally made it to one of the Cigar Nights at Telaya. For $25 you get a glass of wine of your choice, including wines from other than Telaya, amd a good cigar. Cigars are provided by Sturman's Smoke Shop. He brings a pretty good selection of 6-7 cigars that range from mild to strong and sizes. I enjoyed a Fuentes Casa Cuba Flor Fina this evening and a Snake Valley Malbec. There were probably over 40 aficionados there and about 8-10 smokers were women. The winery only holds these cigar nights in the summer starting at 7 PM. The next and last one for the year is Sept. 17, 2019.

We have been Telaya members and devotees since they were in a shared building with two other wineries on the other end of Garden City. We joined their wine club because of the flexibility of choices AND the tasting experiences Earl and Carrie offer. Even during Covid Telaya offered a variety of tasting opportunities that were safe and fun. We started out in the smallest wine club membership and have moved up. We are considering the highest of the three memberships because their wine is so yummy! Their wine, it goes without saying, is fabulous. But even more is the sense of family and kinship that Earl and Carrie extend not only to their employees, but to their customers. At one point we were going through some hard times and Carrie offered to come help us.....how amazing is that? I absolutely believe she would have come, she wasn't just talking. I have also attended Earl's talks about the wine. He is normally a quiet man who absolutely glows when he speaks about his wine. Anyone who puts that much heart and soul into a product has to be a great guy, but also a great guy who makes great wine. Today when we were doing a tasting for our allotment we tried to tip our wine steward. She politely declined and explained that they were well compensated and did not need to take a tip. She said if we wanted to do anything...leave a review. I could go on and on about Telaya. Our daughter worked for them while she was in high school washing wine glasses. When we go in it is like visiting a friend.....who makes great wine! Do not hesitate to get to know not only Telaya, but the people there. It is all amazing!

The best thing about this tasting room is the location. It is right along the Boise River in a great big warehouse. We went on a hot July day and the patio was perfect. Right on the river, fully shaded with water available at all times. Our service was fast and courteous. I did the tasting...3 1oz pours for only $5! The Chardonnay was my favorite but the reds were also good. I wish they had more options for their tastings. I prefer white and it was kind of a bummer to drink red wine in 97 degree weather. HOT! The other reason why this is a 4 star review was the lack of guidance from the staff. We would have liked to ask questions and show our wine newby cards a little more.

This was place a great place to grab some wine and taste some local brands. Nicole was amazing and really made this experience so much better. Their wine selection is amazing and the location is un-beatable. We will be returning very shortly!
