Alcantara Vineyards and Winery

I was not impressed by this place, mostly because the server was not friendly. I went to order and the first words out of her mouth were, "we don't have sweet wine". She didn't even say hello. I hadn't asked about wine or even had more than 2 seconds to review the menu. I ordered the sangria which was nice, although it was far more ice than beverage. The outdoor seating was nice, I'm sure it's beautiful once the vines are covered in leaves. I finished my drink and went back in to order another and the server was really curt with me again. Perhaps she prefers clientele who appear more polished. I stopped there after a long walk so I was wearing shorts, shirt, and a ballcap, and was carrying a backpack. She was friendly with another guest, so it seems she has the capacity to be kind. I wouldn't go back just because I felt unwelcome.

Lovely setting in the garden to chill and enjoy the scenery. It’s $12 for a glass of wine or $20 for 4 tastings of 1.5 oz. The pizza and charcuterie boards were $20 each and IMO not worth it. But it’s a great setting with friendly staff and worth a visit for sure.

My family, friends, and I had an incredible time visiting this beautiful vineyard in Verde, Arizona. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine kindness. The property itself is stunning, peaceful, and perfect for spending quality time with loved ones. A special thank-you to Lori and her daughter, who truly made our visit memorable. Their warmth, hospitality, and passion for what they do added so much to the experience. It felt less like a business and more like visiting friends. Our kids enjoyed themselves just as much as we did, and we left talking about how this will definitely be a stop we revisit on future trips. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great wine, amazing people, and a beautiful setting.

My husband booked us the water to wine trip as a 20th anniversary gift. I knew the cost beforehand, but I let him take charge of planning things. Little did I know that you would only get a $20 voucher at the winery after paying $360 to kayak for 1.5 hours. Basically, you are paying $320 for 2 people for 2 inflatable kayaks. Not worth the price! The employees at the kayak area were fabulous, but the ladies at the winery weren't the nicest. You can't get much off their menu for their $20 voucher. They would only be getting 1 star if it wasn't for our fabulous driver!

We got married at Alcantara in early November of this year. First and foremost Annie is an incredible venue coordinator. She was there every step of the way. She was fun and awesome to work with and made our day very special. Some major bonuses for getting married at Alcantara are the beauty as a venue, the management of the bar on the wedding day, and the flexibility with how you can decorate/and make the space fit any vision you can think of. One thing to consider is that it's an outdoor venue, so plan according to the seasons. We got lucky! There was some wind and a little chill during the day, but the week before, the weather was hot and in the 90s! The other thing is there is no kitchen, so make sure your caterer can keep the food warm, and consider that when scoping for food options. All in all we had a really beautiful day. Highly recommend the venue and especially Annie.
