arizona stronghold vineyards tasting room

Every visit to the AZ Stronghold wine tasting room is delightful. Kevin and his staff are very personable and knowledgeable about each of the wines they produce. They take the time to explain the wines and where the grapes were grown. They also don't make you feel rushed to taste and get out like some other locations do. I belong to their wine club and always enjoy their wine. Their white and red wines are excellent and are reasonably priced. They are adding an outdoor patio to the tasting room which will be a nice addition. Stronghold is also generous with their pours. We always have a relaxing and enjoyable time at AZ Stronghold.

Located on Main Street in Cottonwood, very nice tasting room with a bar and some lounging areas to enjoy a bottle of wine. I'm a huge fan of this brand so I was looking forward to trying some of their other wines. They do charge a minimal amount for the tasting but you get to keep your glass as a souvenir and they are not stingy on the pours. You can even retry the wine if you like. Only one of the wines I sampled is sold in stores, all the others were limited production. I really liked that! I ended purchasing a really nice bottle. If you like wine and find yourself in Cottonwood I would recommend giving them a try.

Tiny tasting room but wine staff friendly and very knowledgeable. Wine grapes come from southern Arizona (Wilcox area) but who cares; the wines were very good, especially the reds. Highly recommend.

Love their wines, especially the dark reds, they always have something new going on, and they are right next door to the newest addition to OTC, the Rum tasting room, where you can get craft cocktails. Now you can have your beer (across the street), your wine & rum all in one block!

This was our first wine tasting experience and we had a gal who had only been there a month but she knew her stuff and I appreciated the time she put into learning and sharing what she knew about the wine making experience. I learned alot and bought some great wine!

We were visitng Sedona and decided to stop at a few area wineries. It was worth the time. Good reds, whites and service. Enjoyed the tasting room experience.

very comfortable tasting room and the staff is amazing. The wines are all tasty but the service you get will push your experience above and beyond

tied both the red and white flights, Arizona wines have so improved. Jay was very informativeFriday night music. beautiful art work for sale, which we took advantage of. comfortable seating.

A must do in Cottonwood! Our server Jay was very knowledgable and attentive. Kevin and Bree were excellent. The tasting room is super comfortable and laid back. Hands down the best in Cottonwood.

Loved the tasting room. Very comfortable and the host and hostess were very nice. Most may enjoy the wines offered but my wife is very peculiar and did not care for the dryness. A little sweeter offering would be appreciated

If you have a lot of experience with wine, like we do, you'll be very happy here. If you are a newbie, you'll be happy too. The tasting room is large and comfortable for sitting at a table or saddling up to the bar. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the wine. The gift shop includes a nice selection of food, clothing and local art. I'd say this is a must-do if exploring Old Town Cottonwood. They do charge a tasting fee, which appears to be common in this area.

Loved this small tasting room. Very knowledgeable staff and great wine. Tasted a bit and got out of the heat. Ended up ordering 6 bottles of wine but have to wait for them to ship when temps cool. Will be a great surprise in the Fall.

My husband & I were disappointed that another local winery was closed due to special event, so we drove into Cottonwood to try Arizona Stronghold. This almost accident turned into our amazement in finding our favorite AZ winery! Our tastes tend to steer toward dry reds, & we can honestly say there was not one red at AZ Stronghold that we disliked. All were great! The staff was knowledgeable and worked to please your palate. Nice tasting room with a relaxing interior. We look forward to driving sometime soon to Willcox to check out their vineyard (it's just the tasting room in Cottonwood...we were told their grapes are grown in the Willcox area). We'll definitely return, & we will also be alert for AZ Stronghold wines in local liquor stores & on restaurant menus!

My wife and I visited this tasting room almost one a month! Very friendly people, great selection of Arizona Wines, Enjoyed the wines and the cool setting in Old Town Cottonwood.Now for the bones,The staff LOVES us! We walk in the door and we get lit up! Kevin, JMan, Bree and Holly are so loved by us...they are our favs..Over 5 years as a member too!

This was our first time visiting this winery. Live music was playing. The staff was very knowledgable and accommodating. With several choices of wineries in the area, this is definitely one to visit.
