Arizona Stronghold Vineyards Old Town Cottonwood Tasting Roo

Some of the best wine that we had during our short stay in the Sedona area. Great Tapas and Cabernet. Make sure you visit with Destiney, Caleb, and Emily. They are amazing hosts.

A perfect weekend getaway for those looking to explore different wines. This place offers a variety of wines to select from. Our wine expert (Caleb) was awesome at describing the origin and taste to be expected. We happened to use a Groupon on the occasion which was a terrific value. The skewers that they grill were also amazing.

Absolutely amazing experience! Top notch customer service, exceptional wine varietals and a beautiful venue.

The service was amazing warm, friendly, knowledgeable and sincere. Then there was the wine and skewers?.OMG! No words. Highly recommend the elk (and I don?t like elk) but the bison and shrimp were also delicious. They were cooked on the barbie right behind us so we could smell the delicious aroma as we sipped our flights. All the wines were delicious but highly recommend their private, non commercial labels are superb! I loved the white described with the words grass andgravel? ha ha so good. The reds were awesome as well! Love this place and will definitely visit again.

Should drinking wine hurt? Went to a few of the wineries in their Old Downtown area. This was our third tasting. I am sorry to say also the worst. The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable. However the wine on the RED A list was a flop. The first and fourth tasting on the list were pretty much undrinkable. They were so acidic my nose and throat started to burn. It made me feel like I had just jumped off a high dive into a heavily chlorinated, public pool?. That samenostril burning sensation. Never before has a wine made me feel this way. I looked around for someplace to pour these tastings out? ???? Even the staff said, ?We don?t make the wine. That?s the vineyard. We get a lot of people who alsodislike those wines.? The second wine on that list was ok. It was drinkable. Sad to say that maybe AZ just isn?t the place for vineyards?? Idk I am by no means a wine connoisseur? I?ve had Two Buck Chuck from Trader Joe?s yet the AZStronghold wines were even worse. My husband felt the same burning sensation. Maybe something is wrong with our senses? Idk We still had a fun time walking around and sampling food and wines. The staff alone is the reason for the threestars. Otherwise based off the wine I would give it one.
