We invite you to partake in a truly unique wine tasting experience with a picturesque view of hillside vineyards, rolling grasslands and scenic mountain ranges. As the first winery established in Sonoita, Arizona, our history is as rich as our wines and a great place to start your wine tasting adventure!
The Sonoita AVA (American Viticultural Area) is one of the first winegrowing regions in the United States to be granted AVA status, and the area is the first federally recognized wine growing region in the state of Arizona. Currently home to the largest concentration of wineries and vineyards in the state, the Sonoita/Elgin winegrowing region has been recognized as one of the top ten wine trails in the country by USA Today.
Situated at an altitude of 5,000 feet and surrounded by the Santa Rita, Huachuca and Whetstone mountain ranges, the rolling Sonoita grasslands are an idyllic getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city and summer heat. With an average rainfall of over 20 inches and summer temperatures hovering around the mid 80’s, Sonoita is a perfect escape for those looking for a cool and quiet destination with some of the most spectacular views, sunsets, and locally produced wine to be found anywhere in the country. The area is a paradise for wine lovers, hikers, bikers, bird watchers, as well as those seeking to enjoy equestrian, hiking, and a wide variety of other outdoor activities.
The Sonoita-Elgin area is also centrally located between Kartchner Caverns State Park, two beautiful lakes (Parker Canyon and Patagonia), and other tourist destinations including the towns of Patagonia, Bisbee, Tucson, Tombstone, Sierra Vista, and Nogales. The Sonoita AVA boasts numerous bed & breakfasts, restaurants, and other amenities to help assist you in the planning of your perfect wine tasting getaway, or serve as a staging point to explore all the wonders that southern Arizona has to offer.
