The Eagle Foothills Grape Growers Association (EFGGA) is a non-profit organization working to advance wine grape growing in one of Idaho's most distinctive viticultural areas.
The EFGGA promotes the interests of local wine grape growers in the Eagle Foothills AVA (American Viticulture Area), a sub-region of the Snake River Valley near Eagle, Idaho. We give growers a voice in marketing, legislation, and the Idaho Wine Commission.
By fostering communication between members and others in the wine grape industry, the EFGGA improves the efficiency and conditions under which all growers operate. Sharing knowledge between growers and winemakers enhances local wine quality.
