Sonoita Wine Country
The Spanish Missionaries from the fifteenth century started planting grapes in this area as they established missions along the Rio Sonora and Santa Cruz Rivers. Today, Tumacacori and San Xavier Missions remain as the conquistadores came over to New Spain on orders of the Queen to spread the Word of God and in search of the 7 Cities of Gold (Cibola).
They never found those cities of gold, of course, but they did find a region rich in resources, dramatic mountains and cliffs, plenty of water and wide flowing rivers. Today, Grape Growers have re-established the region as an official AVA landmark growing area (American Viticultural Association). Come and learn the experience of this boutique industry which has blossomed with some award winning and nationally acclaimed vintages unique to this high desert terroir.
