javelina leap vineyard and winery

We stopped by this winery as part of a day of wine-tasting. We enjoyed the wines, and chatting with the owner who happened to be relaxing at the tasting bar as well. Small shop of fun souvenirs and and gifts. Knowledgeable staff pouring the wine. We would certainly visit again next time we are in the area.

We stopped not only because we love wine, but the name of the winery had us curious. Yes, you will be greeted by a stuffed Javelina hanging on the wall in the tasting room! Wine tasting was reasonably priced at 4 samples for $8. We stuck with the red grouping and all were very delicious and any one of them would have been a nice treat out in the vineyard picnic area or in the restaurant, however we were too close to closing time. Definitely give this a try if in the area.

Skip this one - the servers are rude and uninterested in what you're looking for. They seemed to be sleep-walking through the wine serving, and didn't bother explaining much about their wines.A couple of times, they walked right past us without bothering to look to see that we were ready for our next tasting - about 5 minutes.Instead, go to Page Spring Cellars - right up the road.

Good red Arizona wine, one especially which is the estate Zinfandel. They have a backyard to enjoy some wine & pizza or other tapa. Very nice stop

This winery and tasting bar is worth visiting! Small production wine, friendly staff, and even the owners that will sit down with you and take the time to enjoy and talk about wine (thank you Russ!). They only grow Zinfandel on the winery grounds (which is fine with me, one of my favorites). Try the Legacy Estate Zinfandel - YUM! Their other grapes are from Southeastern Arizona. Very tasting wines all around. All mainline varietals as well.

Picturesque and a perfect pour! Looking for a romantic wine tasting or a fun excursion for wine enthusiasts? This is quite a delight. Included in the tasting is a flavorful spread of appetizers and perhaps best of all is the brief tour. The owners themselves showcase their passion & pride in the award winning wines they have produced in a relatively small space. If is inspiring!

I've never heard of Arizona wine but, apparently, this winery is at the same latitude as many California wineries, making it optimum for a few varieties of grapes. The grapes go from vine to bottle all in this location. Tastings were $2 or $3 depending on the vintage. Wines were ok but wouldn't bother buying any, especially at around $20 bottle. Small, interesting place with gravel parking lot.

Normally I can excuse bad service, but it's a winery and when you're basically ignored, that's a problem. Maybe it was because we had a (silent) baby with us, maybe it was because we didn't order food, maybe because my husband was the DD and didn't drink, but it took forever just to get through a tasting the the wines were not explained at all just poured. Too bad, because the name is cute and the wines were pretty good, but we won't ever be back.

Did a wine tasting here and while the service was pleasant, we just didn't really like any of the wines we tried. Not sour or anything, just not to our liking.

Went as part of a larger group, we had a tasting of 5 different wines, led by the winemaker herself. She explained how she made each wine, what she was looking for in the wine, etc. This was followed by a tour of the wine making operation, but with a lot of detail on how the winemaker chooses the strain of yeasts she wishes to use, how they monitor the wines progress as it's created, how and why she chooses certain types of wood for her oak barrels, etc. If you can get an opportunity to attend an event like I did, by all means do so. You will learn a lot.This was all followed by a luncheon served in their Arizona Room, with food created and prepared by their executive chef. We had grilled chicken breasts and grilled burgers, with all the accompaniments, and everything was delicious. The wine flowed all during the meal, and everyone I talked to said they had a great time, great wine, and great food.

The small tasting room is well designed and very nicely decorated. My husband and I did each did a tasting and we were a bit overwhelmed by the wines. We have drunk our fair share of wine over the years and we both felt that these wines were designed for a very specific consumer...one that likes strong, bold wines. One of the red wines actually reminded me a bit of Robitussin cough syrup as the cherry flavor was very strong and a bit medicine-y.

Been to a lot of wineries around the world. Javelina Leap is very interesting their style of wines . Only producing one white wine, Chenin blanc, a rose of Pinot Grigio and several reds. Very small winery producing only about 3,600 cases of wine a year.

More great wines and great service. We didn't try any of the snacks but their menu was very inviting. Next time. More wine purchased here, too.

This was the second winery we visited, should of just passed it by. One person working behind the bar and a hand full of customer. Was given a paper with list of wine. My friend pick red & I white. Mark the ones we wanted to taste. No conversation given on the wine or the winery. Just pored the glass & stamped the paper. I've tasted wine in Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Have Never found a wine that tasted so bad I couldn't finish the tasting. My friend belongs to a wine club and describe the taste to !!@#%*?
