Oak Creek Vineyards and Winery
Open: Year Round
About Us:
The Oak Creek Vineyard & Winery has been serving up fantastic area wines since 2002. We also offer the largest selection of wine-related merchandise in Arizona. Enjoy a wonderful selection of wines, cheeses, salami, and olives while relaxing in our newly renovated tasting room, which is now open daily, 10AM-6PM.
They say,"good wine grows on gentle slopes with a river nearby." This is why we decided to build our vineyard here on Page Springs Road, close to beautiful Sedona, and across the Oak Creek.
A vineyard in the desert? Yes, as long as there is a steady water supply, and we have tapped directly, 425ft down into one of the purest aquifer in western Arizona.
Though we are expanding more and more every year, we currently have approximately 4,000 plants on just over ten acres. In the higher elevations of the property we grow Syrah, Merlot, Tempranillo and the lower portion is reserved for Zinfandel and Chardonnay. The intense sunshine of Arizona helps the plants achieve the sugar content we expect, and we have found that the cold nights and warm days create a perfect environment for our varieties. The volcanically enriched soil of the dessert also enhances the stock to create a one-of-a-kind flavor unique only to this region, resulting in full bodied flavorful reds and crisp, clean whites. With an annual barrel count of around 750, production is in small batches, allowing us to give individual attention to each barrel.
