Southwest Wine Center

Don’t miss this excellent experience! A working winery ran by students. The wine as well as the photos and notes on the labels are all student creations. They grow their own grapes and mix the varietals here on the Yavapai College campus. Open to the public and reasonably priced.

Great experience! We didn’t have a reservation for a tasting, and walked in to have a glass of wine on the patio. Gorgeous views. The tasting room manager was so knowledgeable and friendly. Best Sangiovese I’ve had so far in Arizona.

Excellent jewel in Cottonwood. Beautiful place for an afternoon glass of delicious wine. No food available at the tasting room, but a nice selection of wines and knowledgeable staff to help you find the right glass for you. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

The future of the Arizona wine industry starts here. I've always had a fantastic time here. My current favorites in the tasting room are the Estate Tempranillo, and the Petit Sirah. The experimental Carbonic Maceration Cabernet Sauvignon was great too, but alas, it is now long gone. I look forward to more experimental vintages in the future!

A great time. Very classy setting. Our server/instructor did and excellent job explaining the wine making process at the local Yavipai college. Make sure you have a reservation and you can’t go wrong.
