Season Now
Winter Holiday
Earlier Season Now features spotlighted three of Arizona’s standout wine destinations — from the Verde Valley north of Phoenix to the high-desert Sonoita-Elgin region.
Verde Valley
Roughly 100 miles due north of Phoenix, the free-flowing Verde River and its tributaries cool and feed a surprisingly prolific wine region tucked into lush pockets amid the breathtaking red-rock landscape.
Willcox
Defined by lush vineyards cradled within rugged mountainous terrain, Willcox sits in the southeast corner of Arizona, an hour east of Tucson. It's a delightful study in contrasts—and produces 74 percent of Arizona's wine grapes, more than any other region of the state.
Sonoita-Elgin
Proximity to Tucson, and spectacular high-desert scenery, draw plenty of travelers to Sonoita and Elgin--but the wineries of this Santa Cruz County region are perhaps the area's biggest tourism draw.
