About
Our tour begins with a drive from Tucson to the Willcox. 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 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 location, you will enjoy a delicious lunch. After the day is complete (typically around 3 pm), 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.
