Drive a stretch of Route 66 from Kingman and hop between a family vineyard, Arizona's oldest craft distillery, and a hometown brewery. This 5–6 hour loop pairs desert scenery with tastings and a local lunch stop.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A warm desert wind pushes across the cracked asphalt as the tour van eases away from the Historic Powerhouse Visitors Center — Route 66’s storybook storefronts sliding past the windows. Within hours the landscape opens into low, scrubby vineyards, an airport hangar turned distillery, and a downtown brewery patio where local brews catch the afternoon light. The itinerary strings together Kingman’s oddball charms: family-run vines, an award-winning craft distillery, and a neighborhood brewery with live music.

Conservation
The high desert is water-limited — choose refillable bottles, respect private vineyard lands, and support local businesses that follow responsible water and waste practices.
