Arizona Wine, in Brief

Arizona wine is grown at altitude, not in the desert floor. The vineyards sit between 3,500 and 5,500 feet, where cool nights preserve acidity and warm days ripen Mediterranean and Iberian varieties beautifully.

Three areas carry the industry: the Sonoita and Elgin grasslands southeast of Tucson, the Willcox basin with its wide-open vineyards, and the Verde Valley north of Phoenix, where the old copper town of Jerome and the tasting rooms of Cottonwood draw a steady stream of visitors.
