About

Our tour begins with a drive from Tucson to the Sonoita Valley. We pick you up at a pre-determined location in an elegant tour van, comfortable for a fun drive just south of Tucson, Arizona. On our trip, we will visit 3 beautiful vineyards, each with their own private tasting rooms. At each winery, you will enjoy 5-6 varieties of wine and have plenty of time to get to enjoy the scenery and inspiring discussion around life…and wine. At the second vinyard you will enjoy a delicious lunch and reset your mind and palate for the last wine tastings of the day. After the day is complete (typically around 4pm), we have the pleasure of driving you back to Tucson safe and sound. And of course, you get to keep your wine glasses as our gift to you.
