Testimonials

In between winery stops, we very much enjoyed the information on winemaking as well as the history and local lore provided by our enthusiastic guide. The vehicle was quite clean and comfortable. We were very impressed with the quality of the wines in this region. A lovely day with a total of four people on the tour–we highly recommend it. 938patriciaw

Our driver, Jorge, made this wine tour an amazing one. We loved each location and was able to have the party we wanted on the bus. Will highly recommend this tour to anyone! Stephanie C

We toured four different wineries with our wonderful tour guide Jorge! He was wonderful!!! We went for my birthday as a couple and 5 other women were in our group also celebrating birthdays! Jorge does an amazing job and totally worth it! Mary C

We (myself & my 2 sisters) joined a group of 2 ladies, and some youngsters from Australia…we made new friends and had a blast together. Jorge was our driver/organizer. We toured 4 wineries and had an absolutely amazing time! With so many other folks on tours and self touring, Jorge was fantastic at getting us in and making us comfortable at each stop as it was a cold and windy day. There was a certain amount of juggling to accommodate us and Jorge handled everything as a professional, he was also very knowledgeable and courteous. Not to mention the fact that he knew just how to add to our merriment! I highly recommend this company for a lovely and diverting day tasting wine in the beautiful Verde Valley!! The wines here are wonderful too! Judy K

It was our first time at a vineyard and the driver (sadly I cannot remember his name) was so awesome and knew so much about wine! He made this trip so much fun and I’m definitely coming back! It was for a bachelorette trip and words can’t explain how perfect everything was! Lizbeth H

Our group loved the wine tour. Jorge by far is the best!!! Very knowledgeable, and very funny. Kept our group entertained the entire trip. Larry S

About Our Northern  Arizona Vineyards

Actual Blasian Tour Photos

Alcantara Vineyards is a dream venture created by Barbara and husband Bob to provide their family and partners the opportunity to live the dream of growing a vineyard community and winery. It was in cultivating the vineyards and embracing the land that Barbara and her family soon realized there was a bigger picture in this hidden treasure along the confluence of two rivers. You’ll find Alcantara Vineyards has over 20,000 vines and offers 17 different varietals. While you sip wine and enjoy our peaceful surroundings, which include vineyards, a grass picnic area, the Verde River and bald eagles flying overhead, you’ll find you are part of our community and family.

Merkin Osteria

“Our Farm to Your Table. Our Vines to Your Glass.”

Our fruits and vegetables are farmed by our Merkin team in our Verde Valley greenhouses, gardens, and orchards. All of our pastas and breads are made from scratch using from Arizona Heirloom and Italian milled wheat flour. 

Mother Nature beats the drum to which we march and jump. So our menu remains flexible and changes weekly or even daily depending on her whims. It’s a challenge and journey we gladly embrace and we sincerely hope you join us in our quest.

grapes in a challenging and surprising place. Arizonans have shown support for these adventures and we look forward to this challenge. We also look forward to sharing our passion for wine and the wine lifestyle.

We believe Wine is not just a beverage but an experience. Wine is the most social of drinks. When people want to connect, they generally do so over a glass of wine. A nice bottle of wine is the usual feature of any date night. And of course, wine has an intimate connection with our environment. We farm grapes, in harmony with our surroundings, trying to leave a small footprint, and creating a lifestyle that can survive the challenges of our climate, today and in the future. 

Javelina leep Vineyard

Javelina Leap is a family operated, premium boutique winery with award winning wines. Our winery is in northern Arizona’s Verde Valley only minutes away from Sedona in the small historic valley of Page Springs. Javelina Leap Winery processes approximately 44 tons of Arizona grown grapes equaling about 2600 cases of fine Javelina Leap Arizona wine. When you visit us, you will be sampling wines at a fully functional vineyard and winery. Our harvested Arizona grapes are picked, de-stemmed, fermented, pressed, aged, bottled and labeled all right here at the winery which is equipped with a 100 barrel capacity cellar currently full of aging Arizona wine. We also offer tours of our winemaking facility and barrel room.

About Our Southern 

Arizona vineyards.

Charron Vineyard 

Vineyard History

Charron is one of the oldest vineyards in southern Arizona.  The soil, lay of the land and an altitude of 4200 feet with warm days and cool nights makes it a perfect vineyard location. In spring 1994 the first Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines were planted with the first wines becoming commercially available in 1999.   In 2000 the White Merlot won the Governor's Choice Award and has sold out every year since. 

We are happy to announce that we have resumed our normal hours of 10 am - 6 pm Thursday thru Sunday 

We are taking every precaution to keep our customers and staff safe. 

Our tables and chairs are sanitized between customers, and menus and pens are one-time use.

We are also operating at reduced capacity so please bear with us while we adjust to the new normal!  

Deep sky Vineyard

We just couldn’t get enough with our first vineyard experience in Argentina; literally. The growing cycle for grapes starts with bud break and ends with harvest. In Argentina, bud break is in October and harvest is in April. In Arizona, bud break is in April and harvest is in September. So rather than getting six months off we decided it would be more fun to work all year long and Deep Sky Vineyard was born!

Deep Sky is a 20 acre boutique vineyard located just south of Willcox, Arizona. From the start we had one goal – to prove great grapes could be grown in Arizona. As vineyard owners we believe that “80% of the wine is made in the field.” This means that great wine begins with great fruit and great fruit requires a lot of attention. There are 15,000 vines and each one is touched at least 5 times a season as we: prune, leaf–pull, shoot thin, drop fruit, and finally harvest.

Flying Leep

Flying Leap is a committed team of Arizona family farmers, skilled winemakers & artisan distillers, and a team of passionate wine & spirits retail merchants. Flying Leap is also a full-service, direct distributor of its wines and spirits portfolio to on & off-premise wholesale customers across the United States. We grow a vast portfolio of French, Spanish and Italian winegrapes at our vineyards in southern and southeastern Arizona, and we produce a delicious array of ultrapremium wines and distilled spirits from our harvests.

Flying Leap is also the parent company of Arizona Rub. Arizona Rub is home to a family of premium dry rubs and seasonings that add authentic Southwestern flavor to all BBQ foods, including steaks, chops, ribs, roasts and grilled vegetables. Arizona Rub products are made from the highest quality, premium spices available and contain no MSG or gluten.

Autumn Sage

Welcome to Autumn Sage Vineyard & Winery, a Premiere property in the heart of Southern Arizona Wine Country. Come feel at home, yet so far away from it all.  It is an ideal destination for tourists and locals alike for basking in the beauty of Southern Arizona. Our vineyard offers a place for rejuvenation, gatherings with friends and loved ones, and of course wine tasting.  Whether a special occasion, vacation, or simply a desire to explore Arizona wineries brings you here, you're guaranteed to fall in love with our unique relaxing ambiance. Autumn Sage tasting room, and Autumn Park, are ideal locations for your next Special Event.

Once an active transportation hub—first stagecoaches, then trains—travel is ingrained in the town of Benson. At the visitor center , housed in a replica 19th-century railroad depot, you can view images of the town's past as a stop on the Southern Pacific Railroad Line and try the free train simulator. (Kids who try it will receive a souvenir Benson Train Engineer certificate.)

In October, the town hosts its annual Butterfield Overland Stage Days, a nod to Benson's heritage as a stagecoach stop during the early pioneer days. Residents celebrate with a parade, rodeo and a recreation of a Pony Express Ride through downtown.

Once you've had your fill of "modern" technology, check out the prehistoric, subterranean wonder of Kartchner Caverns State Park just 15 minutes south of Benson. Inside this fully accessible "living cave" are soda straw stalactites and other rock formations formed over millions of years, including the 58-foot column dubbed Kubla Khan. Wannabe astronomers can hang around until the evening when the clear, dark skies are perfect for stargazing.

You can spend 48 hours in this mining-camp-turned-artist-communit y and still not see everything. If you have some extra time, take a stroll on Erie Street, all that remains of the former mining town of Lowell, Arizona. Most everything here is decorative—a full-size preserved time capsule of 1950s Americana—like the Harley Davidson repair shop and Shell gas station where era-appropriate cars sit parked at the pumps eternally waiting for a fill-up.

Erie Street is also home to the Bisbee Breakfast Club , a very real restaurant serving up heaping portions of breakfast and brunch favorites. Back toward Main Street you'll find even more food options, as well as Brewery Gulch and its selection of, you guessed it, microbreweries.

Much like its northern neighbor, Bisbee, the town of Douglas boomed during the copper mining heydays of the late 19th century, and it was during this period that two of its most enduring landmarks were constructed—The Gadsden Hotel and lawman John Slaughter's ranch.

With its Italian marble columns, 42-foot-long Tiffany stained glass windows, and ceilings embellished with gold leaf, The Gadsden Hotel is a historic reminder of Old West opulence. New owners have restored the lobby and much of the lower level rooms to their former glory while adding modern comforts and amenities. (Local lore has it that Mexican general Pancho Villa once rode his horse up the grand lobby staircase where a chip can still be seen in one of the steps.)

Cattle rancher and Cochise County sheriff, "Texas John" Slaughter, was one of the Southwest's most beloved and feared lawmen (depending on which side you stood). At the Slaughter Ranch Museum , just outside of Douglas, you can see what life was like during his lifetime thanks to the restoration of several buildings, including the old adobe ranch house.

Tip: Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the one-acre pond and many shade trees on the property.

Sierra Vista

With a Spanish name (translation: Mountain Range Views) and deep ties to Mexico, ironically Sierra Vista is best known for eats from other nations (although the Sonoran hot dogs from 143 Street Tacos are pretty fine). Tuck into a schnitzel at The German Café , slurp a giant bowl of pho at Indochine , try the Korean bibimbap, or nosh on Neapolitan-style pizza. It's not just the food that draws people to this southeastern city. With more than a dozen varieties of hummingbirds migrating through the area, Sierra Vista has earned the status of hummingbird capital of the United States. That's not including the 300-plus other species of birds that (ahem) flock to the area, specifically the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area . Spot other wildlife nearby at the Nature Conservancy's Ramsey Canyon Preserve , where shaded, meandering trails are often shared with rare animals like the coatimundi: raccoon-like mammals hardly ever seen anywhere else in the U.S. Tip: For the cost of a donation, you can join in a hummingbird banding session. Volunteers and staff with the Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory invite visitors to help capture, band, measure and release these tiny travelers as part of long-term studies into their migratory patterns. Farther north in the Dragoon Mountains, is Cochise Stronghold , the rugged natural fortress once used by the formidable Apache Chief Cochise and his followers. Rock climbers know the stronghold for a much different reason—as a home to more than a thousand routes and bouldering challenges, and a well-earned reputation for bold backcountry climbing.

Between Benson and Bisbee lies Tombstone, home to lawman Wyatt Earp and his infamous gunfight at the O.K. Corral . The corral still stands in this "town too tough to die," which now entertains visitors with stagecoach tours, séances , reenactments and annual celebrations like Wyatt Earp Days (May) and Helldorado Days (October).

For those wanting more, book a stay at Tombstone Monument Ranch , a guest ranch designed as an Old West town complete with a blacksmith's, saloon and "jail." Amenities and activities include a swimming pool, card games, archery and horseback riding.

Tip: While in town, don't forget to check out the world's largest rose tree, the 134-year-old Lady Banksia Rose Tree , which stands at 9,000 square feet with a 12-foot trunk. And for a different kind of souvenir, adults can grab a can of local brew at Tombstone Brewing Company , which creates Southwestern-inspired beers like the Mexican Hot Chocolate Imperial Stout, made in a classic English style—except for the habanero peppers, cinnamon and cayenne flourishes.

Roughly 75% of Arizona's wine grapes are grown in this agricultural community, and there's no shortage of local vineyards and tasting rooms to try. Or sip from multiple Arizona wineries during the Willcox Wine Festival , held over a weekend each spring and fall, and also featuring local artists, crafters and musical acts. It's rated by Fodor's Travel as one of the top 10 wine festivals in North America.

On your way, make a stop at the Rex Allen Museum & Willcox Cowboy Hall of Fame . The singing cowboy of Western film is memorialized here with plenty of vintage movie posters and props. The town pays further tribute each October during Rex Allen Days featuring a parade, rodeo, concerts and more.

For those who prefer the wilderness to Westerns, a short trip from Willcox takes you to Chiricahua National Monument , a towering wonderland of volcanic rocks that are yours to enjoy for free, year-round. Highlights include the Heart of Rocks Loop, a 7.3-mile hike featuring many of the monument's most iconic formations.

The ghost towns of Cochise County

What would the West be without a ghost town or two? Hundreds of towns sprung up in the 19th-century across the West, many of which were abandoned when the mines dried up. Echoes of the booming West can still be heard in the southeastern Arizona ghost towns of Fairbank and Gleeson.

Fairbank once served as a transport hub and supply depot for Tombstone and the Copper Queen mine. Today, visitors can stop by the former schoolhouse, which was restored as a visitor center and bookstore.

Only 25 miles east sits Gleeson , a prosperous copper mining town from 1909 to the 1930s. Little remains, but the owners of its restored jailhouse hold monthly open-house events for visitors.

Arizona Vines, Wines, Brews and Views

Enjoy a day of relaxation, local brews and fine wines with a tour of the wineries and breweries of Arizona . This tour can be customized to visit almost any area of Arizona, as you can not stray too far from our breweries and vineyards. We can visit either the Southern Wine regions for wine only…. or we can head north to the Verde Valley (Sedona and Jerome), Flagstaff or Payson for Wines AND Brews. This tour is a must for wine aficionados and “beer snobs” like me. Please note, this tour IS available 7 days a week. A number of the vineyards are open weekends only, but there are plenty open 7 days a week, so do not hesistate.  For a tour specifically in the Sedona area, see Sedona Red Rocks and Wine Tour .
