My parents recently moved to Tucson Arizona and chances are I will be visiting relatively frequently. Are there any wines/wineries worth checking out in the area?
There was a thread with a discussion of Arizona wineries just a couple of months ago:
Not sure of the proximity to Tucson for these wineries, but I’m sure you can check that out. The Arizona Wine Growers website should be a good place to start:
Arizona Wine Growers Association
Been to the Sonoita area south of Tucson once and it’s worth visiting once.
Colibri, if they still exist. Oh, and Caduceus from Maynard, singer from Tool.
If you want to stick to the wineries closest to Tucson (Elgin and Sonoita), you’d want to look at:
Dos Cabezas (probably should be first on your list for this area)
Keif-Joshua vineyards
Callaghan Vineyards
If you’re heading up North towards Sedona (Cottonwood area), you’d want to check out:
Page Springs Wine Cellars (Arguably the top winery in AZ, IMHO)
Pillsbury Winery
Hope that helps!
