It’s a new season and with that comes another wine festival in Willcox.
Willcox Wine Country Spring Festival will be pouring local wines over two days from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 19 – Sunday May 20.
The festival will feature 16 Willcox Arizona Farm Wineries, live music, more than 45 local artists, crafts, and locally grown pistachios, pecans, and other local produce and specialty foods.
Once again, the wine festival will have a nice backdrop as it takes place in the center of the historic Railroad Avenue Park in downtown Willcox, Arizona.
More than 3,000 people attended last year’s fall festival, and the two-day event was named by Fodor’s Travel as a “can’t miss fall wine festival” in 2013.
Tickets are $15 for six tastings with a commemorative wine glass, and $20 for 10 tastings and the commemorative wine glass.
