Los Milics Vineyards Ranks Among Top 5 Tasting Rooms in US for Third Straight Year

For the third consecutive year, Los Milics Vineyards has earned a spot among the top five wine tasting rooms in the U.S. The honor comes via the 2025 USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, a national ranking determined by public vote and industry expert recommendations.

Deep Gratitude From the Owners

“First of all, thank you to all our friends and supporters who voted for us,” said Pavle Milic, owner and winemaker. “A huge thank you to the panel of experts who recommended us again for this honor. It is so gratifying to know that our wine and wine tasting rooms have garnered this extraordinary recognition.”

Co-owner Mo Garfinkle echoed the sentiment.

“This is a big win for our team and a win for the entire Arizona wine industry,” he said. “We’re grateful the voters of USA Today showed up again to support our wine and our tasting rooms. It is a huge honor to be in the top five wine tasting rooms in
the country for three years in a row.”

Grounded in the High Desert

Milic and Garfinkle launched Los Milics in 2018 after purchasing 20 acres in the high desert of Elgin, Arizona. They partnered with the architectural firm Chen + Suchart to design a modern tasting room and production facility. The design blends architecture with sweeping views of the Mustang Mountains.

Nine guest casitas sit within the estate vineyard. Each features a private patio, minimalist décor, and access to The Biscuit, the onsite restaurant where guests enjoy creative, tapas-inspired menus crafted by Chef Trevour Routman.

Scottsdale Location Adds Urban Appeal

In addition to its estate vineyard, Los Milics operates a second tasting room in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. Both locations offer wine tastings, scenic views, and private event options.

The Scottsdale venue brings the Elgin experience into an urban setting, just a short drive from Phoenix. The Elgin location remains an easy day trip from Tucson, making it a popular getaway for wine lovers throughout Southern Arizona.

Los Milics Vineyards is located at 423 Upper Elgin Rd. #824, Elgin, AZ 85611. For more information, visit losmilicsvineyards.com.
