I came in to sample their Sauvignon blanc and other options; the gals working were very friendly and offered generous tasting pours.

I'd look forward to returning to try more of their wine when in Willcox

The wine tastes like it got oxidized or overheated. Almost like maybe it's been through a second fermentation. It tasted like it was turning into a port. We tried several different varietals and they tasted pretty much the same. If this is on purpose, then I apologize for this review. We expressed our concern to the hostess, and she was unwilling to help us or refund our money or have us try another bottle. We will not be coming back until they get this figured out.

We were given wine that was delicious in the tasting. I was very excited to enjoy some at home, but when I got home and opened the bottle it was vinegar..... completely disgusting and I couldn't even drink it. I don't know if it was stored incorrectly or if I was tricked by a small town winery What I do know is I paid 35$ a bottle for wine that I couldn't drink....... beware of this place

BACKGROUND One of…read moremy favorite qualities I love about my mom is how she always loves getting out and exploring. She's had the exploring bug ever since I can remember. Getting to go on those trips with her is one of the things I miss most about traveling so much. One trip I missed that she frequently spoke fondly about is wine tasting in Willcox, Arizona. WILCOX WINES: THE HISTORY The history of Arizona's wine industry actually began in pre-Prohibition days. Back then, Arizona had more grapes than California. From Prohibition to 1980's it was illegal to make wine in Arizona. In 1982, Arizona passed a series of laws that enabled and regulated the activities of a new class of liquor license, the Domestic Farm Winery. In 2005, a Supreme Court ruling made parts of Arizona's wine laws unconstitutional. In 2006, the passage of SB1276 brought Arizona's wine laws into compliance with the Supreme Court's ruling which caused a resurgence in the Arizona wine industry. There are currently approximately 80 wineries in Arizona, in three main regions: Sonoita, Elgin and Willcox/Verde Valley. Willcox is about one hour southeast of Tucson. There are wine festivals held twice each year: the third weekend in May and the third weekend in October. THE STORY I finally had the opportunity to go with my mom to the last Willcox Wine Tasting Festival. The main tent setup is downtown, in the historic railroad section. That area is also where many of the Arizona wineries have local store fronts, like Flying Leap, Aridus, and Carlson Creek. When you arrive, you can purchase tickets which allow you to sample any of the many selections from the participating wineries. My favorite find was the Viognier from Aridus. There is also live music and most of the local restaurants are open. My favorite was Rodney's, a tiny shop where you order at the shop window from Rodney, and he serves your food out back on their outdoor patio. CONCLUSION The Willcox Wine Tasting Festival is very charming and super fun! 5/5 RECOMMEND OF NOTE *The next Willcox Wine Tasting Festival is May 19-20, 2016. *For more information: http://www.willcoxwines.com
