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.

This establishment is a kick in the pants. One of the oldest and family run winery's of Arizona. The selections are extensive and flavorful. Something to please every palate. After my 5 selections, I forgot about taking pictures. Very customer service oriented.
