New White Blend
We are excited to announce the release of our new 2024 Margaret's Blend, a unique combination of Malvasia Bianca from our Elgin Estate Winery and Sauvignon Blanc. This wine is crazy good—you just have to try it for yourself, as I can't even begin to describe how amazing it is. If you're exploring wineries in Elgin, AZ, be sure to stop by for a wine tasting!
Vineyard Update
We have begun pruning in our vineyard at the Elgin estate winery, so you may see us working outside. This warm weather is confusing the vines, and as we monitor the situation, we hope it doesn't lead to an early bud break. .
Our Dream Begins in 2012
In 2012, we embarked on this venture and planted our first test blocks of Vermentino, Montepulciano, and Tempranillo at our Elgin vineyard. I was younger and less experienced back then, and I did this by hand!
Over the years, we have continually expanded our 10 acres winery, adding Malvasia Blanca, Graciano, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, our offerings make us one of the many notable wineries in Elgin AZ, perfect for wine tasting experiences.
Years of Vine and Family Growth
As our kids have grown along with the vines at our Elgin winery, we've created many fond memories as a family. Visiting the wineries in Elgin, AZ, has always been a special part of our journey, especially during wine tasting events.

2018 Our first harvest of Vermentino
I believe we were the first Elgin winery to plant this fantastic white varietal. Our 2023 version is a fantastic clean crisp wine and our 2024 is a Silver Medal winner in the San Francisco Chronicle wine competition.
