See that building to the left in picture #4? I just bought a townhouse there! Do you know a huge reason why I bought that townhouse? Because it's across the street from a terrific vineyard! Coronado Vineyards has one of my favorite blends: Two Heads Red. I won't get all into the descriptions of it. I just really like that wine! Their Riesling is sweet, but not cloyed. So it provides a great glass when ask for it in the tasting room. Andres, Mary, Cindy and Ana are some of the most friendly and knowledgeable people that you're going to meet in Willcox. They add to the beauty and warmth of the wonderful grounds as you sit back and enjoy the tapas and wine. I instantly became a member, and I can't wait to have my 12 wines!! It's a perfect start if you want to explore the Arizona Wine Country. I'd say stop on by if you ever come by there; but I don't know you yet! read more

Best stop on the Willcox wine trail! A really nice facility that is a great way to spend the afternoon. This was the last stop on my tasting of the day. I saved it for last so I could have tapas with my wine!! :) The tapas were great! The jalapeño infused bacon for the wrapped dates is perfection!! The tastings are 6 for $7 AND you get to keep the glass! Unlike my previous spot which charged $10 and then sneakily charged another $4 for the glass! Had a pleasant chat with the wine host, making the afternoon complete. They also have a nice little gift shop that I was able to by a cool gift: a towel that says "drink wine bitches" - ha! Will be back! read more

Coronado Vineyards - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Willcox, Arizona

I thought I had written a review of Coronado Vineyards after the Luau months ago. It was a wine tasting with a Luau theme. They mixed their wines with tropical juices. I tried everything and visited with as many people as I could while my DH staked out a table in the dinner room for us. Not to worry DH is a great designated driver. The Luau was our 2nd trip to grape farm. I was new to YELPING when we went the 1st time and I put my thoughts in the "Quick Tip". The 1st time we didn't eat but this time we did, with the main goal of not eating POI. They didn't have any Poi. We had a tropical chicken salad that was just the time for the wine/juice tasting. The staff was just as friendly and entertaining as the 1st time even though it was a lot busier than the 1st time we blew in to Wilcox. I'm going 4 stars this time because we paid the same $ as last time but the wine was mixed with juice. But then have you seen the price of juice? read more

The food is great but the tastings have gone downhill since new owners bought the place. I got this glass of wine for $10 and if I would have known it was going to be such a small pour I would have bought the bottle for $18. Felt pretty ripped off. But I will return for the food since it is now the best part of this place. read more

Coronado Vineyards - Glass of two heads red (not just a tasting) it was a $10 pour... - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Willcox, Arizona

Great place to stop when you're just driving through on a roadtrip because you can stand at the tasting bar, order food and not be sitting. I called ahead and they said they serve their tapas menu all day until they close at 5:30pm. The woman holding down the fort is a bit abrupt, like maybe she grew up on the East Coast or something but is understandable because she seems to be the only one here doing everything. read more

Coronado offers great wines at extremely reasonable prices! It can get busy in the tasting room on the weekends, but the winery has a spacious tasting area to accommodate a large crowd. The people working there are always courteous and provide detailed descriptions of the wines. The glasses they offer with the tastings are gorgeous stemless glasses and my current favorite of my wine glass collection right now! read more

I hate leaving a two star review, but our experience was not the best. My first impression was that the grounds and building were very well maintained. The main door was really interesting and I wanted to take it home with me. The lobby, bar, restaurant and bathroom are nicely decorated. I felt right at home and wanted to hang out for a while. My two friends and I were not greeted upon our arrival, so we wandered in looking for someone. As it was just noon there were only a few customers in the bar. They advised us that there was only one employee covering everything as they'd had a big wedding the night before. Okayyyyyyy..... one employee? Who's doing the cooking? Eventually an harried employee did come in with a cheese plate for one of the tables. That table did include children, so I was a bit confused as to what age requirements there are for vineyards. But it didn't really matter. I was just surprised. After perusing the menu we decided to sit in the main room which was VERY comfy and made for hanging out. There were several couches, assorted chairs and tables. It was very neat and clean, with a lovely view out double doors to the gazebo where the wedding had been held. Then we waited. And waited some more. Eventually a another employee did show up and asked us what we would like to order. We would have ordered wine, but no one gave us any type of a list or asked us about our preferences. As we were hungry and Yelp showed 4.5 stars, we decided to order from the tapas menu. Tapas dishes are some of our favorites usually. We ordered the artichoke dip which was really tasty. Sadly, the remainder of the dishes did not live up to the first one. We also ordered a flat bread pizza and one of our party compared it to a cheap freezer brand. With the pecan chicken skewers we expected a larger piece of chicken skewered and served with a sauce. The 5 skewers e were the shape of small corn dogs rolled in crushed pecans and about as long as my forefinger. They weren't bad, but there wasn't much flavor either. I did eat two, but honestly .... and I hate to say this, but the flavor was similar to a chicken nugget that my kids used to love. We also ordered the crab cakes. When they were served I thought the presentation was really nice. They were each the size of a half dollar. We each took one onto our plate, lifted a bit to our mouth and promptly spit it back out. They were SO fishy. Luckily, before paying the bill our server asked us how everything was and we told her the crab cakes were simply inedible for us. She did not charge us for them, which I thought showed great customer service. I'm hoping that because it was very early in the day that they'd had a new cook on duty who didn't make things right. I'd hate to think that other Yelpers raved about food that was just so-so to us. Of course, we're all from the Pacific NW and have been spoiled by great food, so maybe this is great food for small town Arizona. If you are interested, please do try this vineyard out. The two staff that were there when we left were very nice. I liked the ambience of the place and just wish the food had lived up to the reviews. If the food is normally delicious then I'd recommend you go and try for yourself. read more

We absolutely love Coronado vineyards. It is an amazing place to go and relax and enjoy the people you're with. Unfortunately on October 21 we chose to go to the Willcox wine festival and afterwords went to a Coronado Vineyard. We placed our order and headed outside. There was other people outside, enjoying themselves as well as the view, and after a short time, another couple went out to the grass and sat on the chair. There was a lot of tables open as well as the Pergola that was further out past the grass. At one point the owner came over to our table to check on us and the lady from the grassy area came over and motioned for us to shush. The owner left our table and went inside. Within a matter of a minute or so the lady then came back and motion for my husband and our friends to shush. I happen to have left and went inside when this happened. The co-owner eventually came outside and informed the couple who she was and if she had any frustrations or concern to please come to her. If you wanted to be by yourself, there was multiple areas you could have moved to. I am sorry that my group was too loud for you. read more

A friend and I stopped at this vineyard yesterday coming home from the Willcox Wine Festival. We wanted to share a bottle of wine and get some tapas. We sat in chair on the grass next to the patio overlooking the vineyard. There was a group of 3 or four people seated on the patio. They were very loud. After about an hour and near the closing time of the winery, I walked over to within 30 feet of the table, got eye contact with one of the people and gestured with finger to mouth to try to get them to be quieter. I walked back to my seat. I was not at all confrontational. Within about 5 minutes the owner, I believe, came over an asked us to leave for "disrespecting" the people at the table. We were taken aback and a bit shocked at this. I believe these people knew her and they had gone to complain. We had purchased their wine and food and were trying to enjoy it when we were reprimanded and asked to leave. Amazing! Do not go here. Their are other beautiful wineries in beautiful setting were customers are valued such as Sonoita Vineyards or Charron Vineyards. We were extremely offended. read more

Place was awesome wine was great server was friendly . Nice atmosphere will definitely be back

Loved this place! Went in the middle of summer which I wouldn't recommend. Good selection of sweet wines. Nice area to lounge and spend time. Prices are decent. $10 for 6 wine tastings and $8 for 6 if you bring your own glass. read more

Beautiful property but horrible service and wine. The best wine was the dry Riesling. We got into the tasting room and only one other party in the room. We ordered 2 wine tasting and it was pretty much poorer behind the counter and nothing explained as far as tasting notes. They poured and you picked up. We ordered the margarita flat bread and bacon wrapped dates, both were delish! If you want a beautiful view and delish dates then this is your place. read more

My wife and I stopped by to stock up on wine today and turned out to be such a beautiful wine tasting experience. Had a chance to wine taste two new wines long with meeting the new owner. He was such a wonderful person to have a conversation with and so interesting. My wife and I were so excited that someone was able to purchase and maintain this vineyard as it's our favorite. HIGHLY recommend stopping by due to an amazing ambiance and friendly environment. Very grateful for the experience and small wine break. read more

My son just moved to AZ and we are from TX so this is a stop I was hoping to make regularly, as I love wine and love supporting local businesses. We got the wine flight which was ok, then I ordered a glass of wine and got a VERY skimpy amount of wine in my glass. It was almost the amount of a wine sample and we were charged $12 . I so so so wish I would have taken a picture. Will not be making this stop again. Will probably drive on to Deming for our next wine adventure. read more

I'm from wine country, don't stop here. They don't know anything about wine, rude and terrible service. We went out of our way to visit this place on a dusty dirt road hoping to at least meet some nice people. We have been traveling all over the country visiting vineyards, most have been very friendly. This place is the worst I've visited in the last 15 states. What a joke, don't waste your gas. read more

Had a great time. Must try the "Fore" red wine. It's really good. As far as whites, even though I am not a big white wine Fan,and definitely not a Riesling fan, you must try the Riesling. It's not too sweet and a bit drier. A must try. Ask for Nadine, she was so great and helpful. We will absolutely be back again. read more

Some of the best wines we had in the Arizona/New Mexico/Texas region. We've been to several wineries in the Sonoita/Elgin area and the Cottonwood area in Arizona; and we've also visited many other wineries in New Mexico and Texas; so we have pretty good base for comparison on the regional offerings. Coronado has some REALLY good wines, especially their full-bodied red wines. But like almost all of the wineries in this region, there were some misses as well. Here's the rundown: Great building and tasting room - one of the best we've seen in Arizona. White wines: Voodoux - Didn't like at all, vinegary and off flavors. Maybe it was a bad bottle, but there there was a major problem with this one. Reisling - OK, but not in the same league with Washington or Germany. Red wines: Sangiovese - very good, but very light bodied/colored and unlike any other Sangiovese I'd had Two Heads Red - a sweet full-bodied red, unusual, but very good if you want sweet Cabernet - EXCELLENT (best in region, as good as California) Syrah - EXCELLENT (best in region, as good as California or Australia) Sparkling: Dolce Veritas - EXCELLENT lightly sparkling white wine, moscato-like tropical and floral flavors, but NOT from estate-grown Arizona grapes (grapes from New Mexico) Port Style: Rebel Spirit - Didn't like this one. Not smooth and refined like a Port at all, but instead tasted like a good red wine with sugar and brandy added. Not unpleasant, sort of drinkable, but NOTHING like a good Port. read more

The absolute best place to go for a fun chill time. went out there with my wife for some wine and a charcuterie and was absolutely amazed by Brenda's help, she didn't just help us but made small talk as well. she's quick and was very welcoming, well be coming back. read more

This past weekend (8/27-28) was the fifth annual Grape Stomp festival, with wine tasting, live music and grape stomping for the ridiculously low price of $10. Ten little dollars got you all this and a commemorative glass in some of the most beautiful country in our great state. This was the secondary reason for our trip to Willcox, but turned out to be our primary reason for wanting to return. This darling vineyard offered six wine samples of 100% Arizona-grown grapes (the red wine grapes came from Coronado Vineyards while the whites came from another vineyard not too far away). The grapes are sent to a place in New Mexico where they are turned into the nectar of the gods. We found some of our favorites and picked up a bottle to enjoy out in the grass while The Grind performed on stage. Set to the backdrop of stunning mountains, this alone was worth the 3.5 hour drive. Initially, I was going to grant the vineyard four stars: one member of their staff was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, while a newer employee didn't know basic questions, didn't take the initiative to find out answers and was completely inconsistent with her pours. But the end product makes up for this little incompetence. The three of us ended up splitting a case, which awarded us four bottles each of great wine at 10% off. We also have a reason the head back to Willcox each year they hold their grape stomp. Because pretending your Lucille Ball or that reporter on youtube who fell off the stomping platform only adds to the enjoyment. read more

We came to Coronado Vineyards on a LivingSocial deal. We would have come without the added incentive of glasses + tasting flight+ bottle of wine + tapas which was included in the deal, but it never hurts to save a bit. The tasting room was pretty full- my only complaint about this place is that service is somewhat slow (this time as well as on past visits). When a staff member does come over though, they are always friendly, knowledgeable, and talkative. The woman helping us was very accommodating and even walked with us outside to the vines so we could get some group photos. Thank you! This was our first time trying food- we had the lobster cakes with chipotle sauce and the dates stuffed with cream cheese/wrapped in jalapeno bacon. Both were super yum. There were 4-5 pieces on each plate, so we were able to share (we came in a group of 4). I like this vineyard because they have a wide variety of wines to sample-Riesling to heavy reds to desert wines. They may not all suite your fancy, but hey, that's what a tasting flight is for. A pretty safe bet is the Two Heads Red. read more

Very good food and wine. Look forward to going back. so required number of letters ya da ya da ya da

In this time of COVID 19 restraint, we had a peaceful and comfortable afternoon at Coronado Vineyards. The views from the patio of the local mountains and crops were soul soothing, and the food was creative and tasty. Bacon-wrapped jalapeño shrimp ...mmm. But most importantly we loved the Sangiovese, Dos Cabezas Red Blend and the Malbec. The owner spent time sharing the vineyard's history and his plans for the future. Put this on your "to-do" list! Masks and distancing enforced. read more

Wonderful stop! Try the Dolce Veritas! Super surprised. Loved the Malbec earthy and inky. The Cabernet Sauvignon was sumptuous. read more

Coronado Vineyards - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Willcox, Arizona

This was our last stop of the day of wine tasting in Wilcox. This is a very large and sophisticated tasting room in comparison to the others, located on an old golf course. They are beautiful grounds, with picturesque vines as far as the eye can see. It is located near the 1-10 and there is plenty of parking. They have a large tasting room, gift shop and a tapas restaurant (one of the only food options in Wilcox). But since we picnicked earlier in the day, we just came for the wine. With the AZ Wine Travel Card ($20), we were able to get 50% off tastings. We also had our own glasses so we saved $2, although they give you the best glasses, large stemless glasses. I started tasting with whites, and enjoyed the Chardonnay. However, the real winner was the Sangiovese- we took home a few bottles. We also tasted the sparkling wine, noted as carbonated wine, which was light and pleasant. So we got a bottle of that too! Overall, one of the better stops in Wilcox. read more

Coronado Vineyards - Very relaxed atmosphere. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Willcox, Arizona

I have been supporting this winery via the local beverage store since the previous owners. I was rather excited when the opportunity came to visit the vineyard about a month ago with a friend. All week I looked forward to the one hour drive to partake in the tasting of the new Riesling and the Two Head Red that caught my palate at the Wilcox wine festival a couple of years back. Immediately, I noticed the customer service was subpar and that's putting it mildly. The owners did not greet ANYONE with a smile. The wine and tapas were awesome but the drab look on the face of the owners was a different story. I plan to gather my friends and give it another try in hopes of a better experience because even with an awesome product, customer service goes a long way in these parts...especially in the wine business. read more

NOT EVEN RATES ONE STAR! The five of us were very excited on Saturday afternoon to experience some wine tasting. We sat at the bar, they did not appear that busy as all the customers had already been helped. We were handed menus by a gentleman server and while we looked them over two customers came in and apparently they knew what they wanted and were promptly served. The gentleman server barely gave us another look and chatted with those two customers. Two more customers arrived and suddenly a woman server came into the bar and without a glance around immediately started serving the latest two customers. When the woman server was busy in front of me, maybe with some frustration in my voice, I asked what it took to get service here. She looked at me and said "You don't need to be here". We all were so shocked that we started to leave and then she tried to apologize by saying she had not seen us! How do you miss five people sitting at a bar in plain sight! We immediately left never to return after the rudeness we experienced! read more

Coronado Vineyards - My wife enjoying a wine tasting. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Willcox, Arizona

A must stop if you're in the area. If you're driving through, stop in to explore the wonderful gift shop and grab a couple bottles to go. Or if you're able to stay, do the wine tasting and grab a cheese plate to be enjoyed in the beautiful tasting room or expansive patio. If you have even more time, be sure to have dinner or brunch in the adjoining restaurant. Although be sure to check their site for dining hours as I think the restaurant is only open on weekends. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the wine is really good and helping put Arizona wines on the map. The Two Heads Red (a red blend) is my favorite or if you're into sparkling wines be sure to try the Dolce Veritas. A little sweet but perfect for summer afternoons. Another plus, the bottles range in price from $10-$20 and there is no up charge to enjoy them in the restaurant. read more

I was very excited to visit this place and relax after a long day of picking apples. After walking through the front door we were told that it was to close to closing to seat us. Didn't even make it out of the foyer. Really poor hospitality. I guess I'll just get back on the road for the 3 hour drive back to Scottsdale with a Hungary family. read more

Good wines at a fair price. This little gem is nestled away a short drive down a dirt road. Beautiful view of the mountains and vines on the property. Most bottles were $13-17 range and delicious. The wine tasting was nice and we walked away with two bottles for later. We were pleasantly surprised to find good young wines in Arizona. The "Two Headed Red" was our favorite. We will be back sometime soon to try the tapas restaurant/ lounge. read more

I hoped this would be the highlight of our Wilcox wine tasting experience, but it ended up being a dismal disappointment. The winery was understaffed who appeared overwhelmed from the aftermath of their annual Grape Stomp festival. I was holding out for their advertised tapas - the ones that were supposed to be "available all day." On the contrary, they ran out everything except for the so-called cheese plate, which was nothing more than glorified lunchables. My husband actually preferred the lunchables. At this point, I'm thinking "Perhaps the wine will make up for the experience" . . . it didn't. read more
