Wine tasting at Coronado vineyards

Coronado Vineyards produces some of Arizona’s finest wines. Arizona’s high desert, with elevations over 4000 feet, is the perfect location for producing grapes of distinct quality and character. Warm summer days, cool nights, and mineral-rich soils contribute to the intensity and range of flavors. Coronado Vineyards in Willcox opened on November 18th, 2006 and currently presents nine unique wines, ranging from a sweet white table wine to a dry red wine--all from wine grapes grown in Arizona. Managing owners, Mark and Jacque Cook invite you to visit the winery on your next trip to beautiful Willcox, Arizona.
