The Village of Elgin Winery, Elgin

Elgin Winery and Distillery, Elgin, AZ This is so family style outside, in the enclosed courtyard. Laid back and totally country style, I get to admit if I didn't know diamonds can definitely be found in the rough, rural areas of the country, I may have passed it by. The art is as eclectic as it's offerings of various hard liquors and wines. All of the alcohol is homegrown and local. I am going to share this is well worth the visit. The local whiskeys, rum, gin, bourbons and wine are all locally sourced from start to finish. By the way, try the P Wilson Navy Gin, made and named for a local Naval Commander. Whew! Strength, indeed! And, for those who like to support local businesses, this is the first female winemaker and owner in Arizona. Support! One last note, going back to the family-style feel, a couple drove in from Sierra Vista and brought their dog. Everyone totally loved Raven, an Alaskan Malamute, whom I adored and massaged much during our visit. This couple, like my partner from further away, drive here for the quality and flavor. I came just to sit on the leather couch- oh so comfy- relax and enjoy the chatter. Worth the time relaxing and well worth a second visit.

we were supposed to be horseback riding today near Benson. unfortunately it got canceled. we looked for something to do and decided to go wine tasting. we decided on Elgin based on reviews. when we arrived, we were a little suprised at the appearance. bit what we expected. we entered the gate and discovered a nice tasting/gathering area. enjoyed the friendly server. She was knowledgeable about the wines and the spirits. she had good recommendations based on our preferences. Holiday red was a hit among our group. The Monkey wines were good as well. I tasted the whiskeys. Definitely know what they are doing in distilling. we had a great time and plan on

Great visit. The server was very knowledgeable about both the wines and spirits. Plus she was very friendly which made our visit very pleasant. Even with many customers, she was able to give personalized service which made us feel special. Very nice variety of wines and spirits which made choosing what to taste hard, but we managed to find a good combination to sample. I would recommend stopping to anyone traveling through the area.

Karen was not nice and we chose not to spend our money in a place that doesn't seem to want it. Makes no sense to turn away customers when there are many other places with good service.

Our second time back. Great wine, great spirits. Mimi is a great host providing an education and entertainment. We'll be back again!
