Wine Tasting in the Prescott Arizona area is not impossible!
Grapes grow well in this area and I have been seeing private mini vineyards popping up. I have a neighbor with a Shiraz mini vineyard. Even I have my own cabernet grapes growing!
Hailing from Sonoma County California, I have enjoyed weekend tastings and I have entered a grape stomp or two. Being native to the wine country of Sonoma County I was surprized to find vineyards in the high desert. I thought moving to Arizona meant giving up beaches, fresh fish, sour dough bread and wine. Wrong! I only gave up the sand of the beaches!
I was surprized to find that the little town of Chino Valley where I moved to, has a wonderful organic winery! Not only do they have a wonderful organic winery but they have, picnics, weddings, catering, summer jazz and October Music Fest! And I live 3 miles away! Granite Creek Vineyards is about 20 miles north of Prescott in the rural town of Chino Valley. For those who have trouble with sulfites, you will be able to enjoy this sulfite free wine.
I can't wait to enjoy the live music series, a glass of organic wine and savor gourmet foods on their estate lawns, every Saturday during the fall, starting today!
