Southern Arizona’s wine region often surprises tourists and locals. In cities like Willcox, rows of vines are tucked between mountain ranges, with the air transitioning from warm afternoons to cool, fragrant nights.
The landscape has quietly produced exceptional wine for decades, even if much of the country still hasn’t recognized it. After a two-year hiatus, the Arizona WineGrowers Festival will return from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at the Biltmore Fashion Park, 2502 E. Camelback Rd., Phoenix.
Artlink presents the Arizona WineGrowers Festival in partnership with R Entertainment and the Arizona WineGrowers Association. Celebrating March’s Arizona Wine Month, the festival offers a tasting journey through Arizona’s three American Viticulture Areas (AVA): Willcox, Sonoita, and Verde Valley.
