"Wine and Hops" agricultural tour:
Western Idaho has long been known for
production of seed crops such as alfalfa,
sweet corn, onions and carrots that make
their way to fields around the world. More
recently, the area has become known
for producing world-class wines and
bountiful crops of hops used in brewing
beer. Tour stops will include lunch at a
local winery.
Rumor has it that during its 2018
Famous Idaho Potato Tour helping raise
awareness, funds and food for non-profit
organizations, the Big Idaho Potato Truck
also will be attending the PAA meeting in
Boise.
Other Activities
Sunday activities on your own
include fishing, rafting, golfing and, for
graduate students, an escape room team-
building exercise. On Monday evening,
you can attend a Boise Hawks baseball
game or the Pedals and Pints bike tour
of downtown Boise. On Thursday, as an
alternative to the ag tour, whitewater
rafting on the Payette River is offered
with a professional guide. Also included
as part of the meeting is an accompanying
person's program including a day trip to
Payette Lake near McCall, Idaho.
