On the south side of Arizona lies the city of Phoenix, the largest in Arizona.

1. Chateau Tumbleweed
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 42 reviews
Chateau Tumbleweed is a collaboration of four friends – two husband-and-wife teams – who, after working more than 30 combined years for other Arizona wineries, recently left their “day jobs” to focus on their own project. We have a great friendship, a penchant for absurdity and complementary skills in vineyard management, winemaking, sales and administration. We crafted our first wine – only three barrels – in 2011. After three vintages of making our wine at the Four-Eight Wineworks Winemaker’s Cooperative in Camp Verde (2012-2014), we took the plunge, purchased the building we’d been eying for the previous year and converted it into one of Clarkdale’s first commercial wineries and tasting rooms.

Let us do a VIP switch around on the tasting and even went back and brought out some from the back room... Was a fun time and great atmosphere. If u r in the area, please stop and enjoy. And yes, we purchased some reds! Our covid safe tasting kinda sucked, but it was what it was. At least the wine was good DaveB

My husband and I stopped in to Vino Zona while staying in Jerome. We REALLY enjoyed our hostess as she tailored our tastings to our taste. She also explained each wine she was pouring and was very knowledgeable about the grapes used. The bottles were a little more expensive than we had anticipated but we did think it was nice that the winemaker had signed them.

5. Page Springs Cellars

I visited Page Springs Cellars for a wine tasting and lunch. I sat at the outside bar, which had a view of the vineyards, and tried the Red Flight. I enjoyed the dry reds and the conversation I had with the server. For lunch, I had the curry chicken salad sandwich and a salad, which was delicious. Bonus was the fun music they were playing on the balcony--just loud enough to hear, but not too loud that people couldn't have conversations. As my title says, it was a lovely visit. I would recommend Page Springs Cellars to others!

While in Sedona we were curious about the talk of wine in the area. We started at Jerome and thought we would try it . We got there as they just opened and found out there was just a limited tasting. I had ask about a certain wine and the gentleman, that I hate that I can’t remember his name was nice enough to open a bottle and let us taste The wine is not cheap and u get what u pay for. Was a great start to our Verde Valley tour. Great job Maynard! DaveB

This is a wine tasting room
Reviewed By aliciastuart59 - Kankakee, United States
My husband and I stayed at the Tavern Hotel and opted for the "Sip and Stay" package. Pillsbury was one of the participating wineries that closed the earliest. We had called for an appointment to taste as soon as we arrived, but was informed that flights/tasting ended at 6pm. After such time glasses could be purchased at a happy hour price. Upon coming in, we were treated as if we were old friends and our tasting was accommodated. We both liked the WildChild Red and WildChild White wines. Overall, we felt the staff was welcoming and made an effort to work with us on short notice.
