Our Mission:
The North Idaho Enological Society (NIES) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to increasing the knowledge, appreciation, and enjoyment of wine.
Tastings:
Our season runs from September to May with tastings from October through April being held on the third Friday of every month at the Lake City Center in Coeur d'Alene. In addition, we hold the following special events:
The tastings are built around a theme and feature multiple wines chosen by the guest speaker, usually a winemaker or wine industry spokesperson and our NIES Tasting Committee. You don't need to be a fine wine connoisseur to join!
