Callaghan Vineyards, Elgin

Friendly, knowledgeable staff, comfy attractive facility, great wines. One of the earliest vineyards established in the area, and in MHO the best.

Pretty laid back place. Friendly staff and no waiting. A beautiful day so we sat on the patio. Dry wines, but a nice variety including a couple of sparkling choices.

Very good wines in a very nice setting….both indoors and outside (covered). We brought our own glasses and so tastings were only $12 (vs $15) for five tastes. If you bring your own glass they serve you the 5 tastes in little plastic cups. Kinda funky. VictorB

We had SUCH an amazing (and safe!) experience at Callaghan this past weekend. We went wine tasting with friends, expecting that all vineyards would do tastings outside in the sun. Unfortunately, many did not. Instead, unmasked people were crammed into small tasting rooms - but NOT here. We walked away from 3 different wineries due to safety reasons. We were overjoyed when we arrived at Callaghan and saw how seriously they took our safety. They met us at the start, had us choose our wines for tasting, and then we sat overlooking the gorgeous landscape. They delivered our tastings and we had a blast trying our selections. The sun was shining, a breeze was blowing, and the day (like most days in Arizona) was gorgeous. I SO VALUE that this vineyard respected us and our health so much. In fact, I bought a case of wine, will be joining the wine club, and will forever visit this family-owned winery because they put safety and security over their own financial interests. If they respect their clients (and their family) enough to take these extra steps, that is a business I want to support.

Always enjoyable to drive down and sample some of the new wines. Always love Backlot for complexity. Always new grapes and intelligent blends. Excellent to sit out and enjoy the vines and view. Lisa and Kent are very helpful
