• Arizona has long been thought of as a state that
  is only really suitable for people who have the
  intestinal fortitude required to handle
  blistering temperatures pretty much year round.

3

• This would make you wonder why the area in around
  Tucson in the southern part of the state is in
  such high demand. The answer may lie in its
  natural beauty, as well as the fact that the
  weather is a whole lot more temperate.

4

• It is the combination of climate, rolling hills,
  and almost perfect soil that has made areas like
  Sonoita, Elgin, and Wilcox the perfect place to
  grow grapes.

• In the grand scheme of things, Arizona wineries
  are still very much the new kids on the grape
  block, yet they have managed to build a very
  solid reputation in a short period of time.

7

• Wineries in Sonoita were originally visited for
  their curiosity factor, but now wine lovers
  travel the Sonoita/Elgin Wine Trail to sample the
  many delicious, award-winning wines that are now
  being produced there on a daily basis.

• This is a must visit part of the world for anyone

• As already mentioned, Sonoita wineries have not
  really been around that long, with the oldest
  winery in the area being the Sonoita Vineyards,
  which was founded in 1983. They have grown
  dramatically in the years since, and now have
  over 40 acres of vines growing from which they
  can pluck grapes to make their award winning
  collection of wines.

11

• They offer up a number of different varieties,
  all of which can be sampled during a visit, but
  the highlight has to be the Cabernet Sauvignon
  that they created, which was chosen by wine
  critics for serving at a Presidential
  Inauguration Gala. Their tasting room is a must
  visit, and you can even take a private tour of
  the winery if you wish.

• Another one of the wineries in Sonoita that has
  received a Presidential seal of approval is the
  Callaghan Vineyards, as they have had their wines
  served at the White House no less than three
  different times. Furthermore, while Janet
  Napolitano was governor, she designated the
  vineyard as one of Arizonas Treasures, which
  is lofty praise indeed.

14

• These are just two excellent example of the
  Sonoita wineries that can be found along the Wine
  Trail, but there are many more besides, as well
  as tasting rooms where you can sample the vast
  array of wine varieties that are made in the
  area. Some of these wineries operate on a huge
  scale, while others are more limited, yet no less
  worthy of your time.

• The entire area has truly embraced the
  introduction of grapes and wine, as there are now
  numerous festivals and events that take place in
  and around Sonoita. You can even take part in a
  5K run called The Great Arizona Grape Stomp,
  which takes place several times throughout the
  year, with a different winery chosen as the
  starting point for each one.

17

• This is a truly original way to sample Arizona
  wineries while you run for a cause. Forget all
  you think you know about the state, and head to
  the south to sample some of the best wines
  created in the US.
