Arizona's Wine Country
In a place that many imagine is a cactus-studded desert, Southern Arizona with its rolling hills and high-elevation valleys is now burgeoning wine country. Days are sunny and warm during growing season but night temperatures often fall 40 degrees or more, making an ideal climate for quality vinifera grapes.

Born from a centuries-old growing tradition in the area, there are currently twelve bonded wineries in Southern Arizona with several more expected to become operational in the near future. These wineries reflect the attitude and personalities of their owners, which cover the spectrum from colorful picnic-style wine to serious award-winning varietals.
