My husband and I have driven by the sign for Alcantara Vineyards off of the 17 on the way from Phoenix to Flagstaff for years and finally decided to check it out.
On our way back from Flagstaff, we dropped in for a tasting and couldn't believe we were actually in Campe Verde, Arizona. It is like a wine mecca in the middle of the desert bordered by the river.
The owner Barbara, comes from a family of winemakers and this is her undertaking. Drove onto the grounds and up to the building. It was so surprising to see such a nice building in the middle of nowhere. The tasting bar was in the kitchen area with a beautiful tiered deck that overlooked the river, beautiful grounds, and the rows of vines. We then walked down to the river area and a group of canoers pulled up, got out and proceeded to their tasting - so cool:
We proceeded to taste everything which was generously poured. The pourer was fabulous - friendly, not snooty and very knowledgeable. This is a place I cannot wait to go back to - oh and they are all organic...really! No added sulfites, everything was smooth and wonderful. Definitely a great and surprising experience.
