The Sonoyta region in Southern Arizona is the first American Vineyard Area (AVA) in the United States. The Sonoita region, which differs in climate and soil characteristics from the Indicazone Geografica Tipica region in Italy, produces award-winning Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and other varieties. The breathtaking, wide-open landscapes of this picturesque corner of Arizona are a must-see.
Originally settled as a mining and cattle country, the Sonoyta region defies everything you would expect from Southern Arizona. The green hills of the Sonoyta region are a welcome respite from the hot, dry deserts of Phoenix, Tucson, and south-central Arizona. Beautiful wineries and vineyards look out over rich vistas full of wildflowers, gnarled oaks and majestic ash trees awaiting your escape.
Wineries in the Sonoita Region
The world-famous wineries of Sonoyta make up the diverse community of Arizona’s original wine country. This year-round destination is perfect for drunkards, cowboys, miners, and every traveler at heart.
