Just east of Tucson, lies a land full of wine waiting to be tasted: Willcox, Arizona.

Kief-Joshua Vineyards is officially opening the doors to their new Willcox tasting room at 11 a.m., Saturday, September 16.

“Since Willcox grows seventy-four percent of Arizona’s wine grapes, and is the source of the most highly rated Arizona wines by Wine Spectator, I felt this property would grant us the most opportunity for fruit quality and abundance,” said winemaker, Kief Manning.

The grand opening will feature wine flights, wines or sangria by the glass, small bites pairings, and pistachios from a local farmer.

For $10 a ticket, you’ll receive a souvenir glass and five tastings. Or bring your own glass for just $7 a person.

The Willcox area recently achieved an American Viticultural Area status, meaning it is now recognized as a distinctive wine-growing region in the United States.

The new Kief-Joshua Vineyards tasting room is located at 4923 E. Arzberger Rd., Willcox, AZ 85643. For more information, call (520) 455-5582 or visit kj-vineyards.com.
