Welcome to Arizona Vines and Wines - a new website created to promote the Arizona Wine Scene. As we grow, we'll expand to include a complete Events Calendar, full list of Wine Bars, Wine Education section and basically anything that involves Arizona and wine! This site was designed to give you a "one-stop shop" experience, encompassing all the excitement that is brewing in Arizona over wine!
Come here to find the newest Arizona wineries, where you can taste and buy their wines, where you can live a "vineyard" lifestyle and even where you can buy your own vineyard land or existing vineyard. Arizona's wine industry is booming - be sure to read the articles on the transformation of the desert into "wine country". Southern Arizona has even been quoted in a local Investor Magazine as the new "NAPA-ZONA"!
We are a new website so be patient with us as we grow. Feel free to email us with your ideas of how this website could best help you enjoy wine in our beautiful, sunny state. For now, though, grab a glass of wine, sit back and enjoy the site. Ciao!
