The experience

You start in Bisbee or Sierra Vista and drive toward the Sonoita wine region, climbing into the Sky Islands with views across the San Pedro Valley and into Mexico. Your guide provides the geography and history of the landscape as you travel. The mountains, the climate that makes this corner of Arizona wine country work, the way the terrain shapes what grows here. The drive itself is part of the experience, not just the getting there.

At each of the three wineries, you taste flights of wine in settings built into the rolling hills. The stops are spaced across the Elgin area, so you move through different microclimates and producers in a single afternoon. You get bottled water throughout and a souvenir wine glass to take home. If you want food alongside the tastings, charcuterie boxes are available to order when you book.

On the return, you take a different route back to Bisbee, which means new scenery and a tour of neighborhoods in town that most visitors miss. The whole outing runs about six hours from pickup to drop-off.
