Dunning Estates at The Slope - Address listed in structured data

Family-run farm winery in Caldwell with a converted milking parlor and Snake River Valley views

Best known for: Tempranillo, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay

Dunning Estates at The Slope in Caldwell, Idaho, pairs a former milking parlor with a patio overlooking the Snake River Valley. On the Sunnyslope Wine Trail near Lizard Butte, this family-run winery keeps its agricultural setting front and center. The tasting room’s western character comes from an actual farm building, not a decorating theme.

Heather and Brayden Dunning and Kacie and Parker Dunning carry on a family wine legacy that begins with Kyle and Holly Dunning. The wines span Tempranillo, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. Named bottlings include Outlaw Malbec, Ranger Red, and two Chardonnays, Oakley and Colt Steel. That range gives groups with different wine preferences several directions to explore.

Visits center on the tasting room and patio, with regular Friday-through-Sunday afternoons running from noon to six. The farm setting extends beyond the glass: just past the parking lot, The Slope Mercantile occupies a converted 1978 horse trailer. Open on summer and fall weekends, it carries rotating selections of local honey, produce, flowers, eggs, and handmade goods. It gives this stop a second reason to linger beyond the valley view.
