Arizona Wineries

Because the sun shines most of the time, coupled with cool nights and warm days, it provides just the right climate to grow a variety of grapes for producing wine. The soil, which is enhanced by volcanic minerals, provides interesting and unique flavors that cannot be duplicated anywhere.

We have personally visited many of the Vineyards in Arizona Wine Country and look forward to visiting them all. We are proud to include our home state in this southwest wine guide! Included in these pages you will find some of our personal experiences and favorite wines as we take our own wine tour!

The Verde Valley Wine Country tour starts just south of Sedona. Travelling east of Route 89A a visitor will find tasting rooms and vineyards in Page Springs, Cornville, Cottonwood, Jerome and Camp Verde. The temperatures are more comfortable pleasant here than in the Phoenix area with cool evenings and mild daytime weather. Most of the vineyards and tasting rooms are set on acreage with dramatic views of mountains…perfect for tasting these excellent southwest wines.

Sonoita Arizona and Elgin Arizona Wine Country tour starts south on Highway 83 to Sonoita. Travelling through the scenic and rural countryside a visitor will find cattle ranches next to clusters of vineyards and wineries. Take Elgin Road and Highway 82 for more wine tasting rooms. This is the only area in Arizona that has been designated as an American Viticulture Area (AVA) for having unique climate, soil and physical features that distinguish it from other areas.

With the Phoenix Light Rail expanding to accommodate the demand for efficient urban transportation, these urban wineries are providing city dwellers and Phoenix tourism visitors alike with an opportunity to have an authentic Phoenix winery tasting experience without having to travel to the more rural vineyard areas.
