This place is in beautiful wine country. We came around 1pm and it was fairly busy but the employees were VERY nice and tried to make you feel like they weren't slammed. My husband and I have never been to a wine tasting before and let me tell you... WE WILL DO THIS AGAIN! We had a blast. We love that this place does a "starter" which helps you decide if you want to go a sweet route or a more dry. This was great. The tasting itself was $10 and you got about 5-6 tastings. We both thought it was worth it. This particular vineyard is the oldest in the area. The land around it is breathtaking. The driveway leading up is welcoming. The place as a whole is charming. Would definitely recommend to family and friends who are wanting a fun, little adventure.
Bicycled into Sonoita Winery with a travel group mid-week in March for a wine-tasting + "food" for lunch. Here's the "true-skinny": Just do it!
Of the three wineries we visited in the Sonoita AVA this one definitely has the best vista.Wine tasting room nicely laid out and a good variety of wine and other merchandise.I am sure you will read reviews by others that are positive on the wines tasted. Personally, I was disappointed. Personal opinion, sorry.
Sonoita Vineyards was outstanding! They have gourmet lunch on weekends, and their wines are fabulous!
Thank you so much for coming to our winery and enjoying everthing. We hope to see you again. Cheers!!
I am so happy you enjoyed our wines when you visited. We have all rescue animals on the property and I am sorry one of our dogs jumped on your vehicle. I am sure it is our deaf border collie that did the deed he likes to play with other dogs. We now kennel all the rescue dogs up so when you return to visit us you will not even see our animals.
We were surprised at how big this tasting room was. The staff was very knowledgeable. We liked quite a few wines but they did. To ship back easy and we couldn't fit any in our suitcases, they had great wines! Angels wings was fantastic,
We're spoiled by frequent trips to Napa. Our arizona friends took us on a wine tasting trip. We enjoyed the visit but the wines were our least favorite in AZ. The conversation and our server were just OK as well.
The owner does a most amazing thing & donates cases of wine his special blend, Angel Wings, to a local Catholic Parish in Sierra Vista, for their Holy Communion. Twice a year they open up the vineyards for the Annual Blessing of the Vines & the Parish Priest comes out for this special weekend. All visitors can partake in the Blessing & it was nice. They also host another weekend when they introduce the new wines & have the ceremonial "crushing of the grapes". Think Lucy in Italy !! Make sure to sample their Angel Wings & the exotic & very peachy sparkling wine, Peach Sparkle.
My friend loves to do wine tastings, I do not. I'd rather just have a glass of wine (which you can do) and sit and look at the scenery. It was chilly out and they have no comfortable seating, a bunch of plastic chairs and picnic tables. Friend got them to open up the balcony upstairs but not one chair in sight, why is that? I asked how much the sauvignon blanc I drank was for a bottle and she said 22.50. I don't know why when you go to vineyards some want to charge you more than you would pay buying it in a wine store. Friend asked if they'd take off the cost of the glass of wine or wine tasting (some do that) but no. So I didn't buy a bottle. They need some inside comfy chairs and comfy and welcoming chairs outside as well as perhaps tall tables and chairs for their balcony. Why not use all the assets you have?
