Now accepting reservations for the annual Kokopelli Vineyard Tour
Two dates - August 16 and 23, 2008
Escape the heat and join us for a fun and educational day trip with your friends from the Kokopelli Winery. We’ll meet at the Bistro@Kokopelli Winery in Chandler for a light breakfast at 7:30 am, then take a motor coach to the Bonita Valley vineyard in Willcox Arizona.
Located approximately 20 miles north of Willcox, at an estimated 4500 foot elevation, the Bonita Valley is one of the largest organically-certified fruit producing areas in the Southwest. The combination of class A1A soil, abundant water, and a near perfect microclimate make this an ideal place for wine grape production.
Planted in 1991, the vineyard produces 13 different organically grown varietals, from which Kokopelli Winery produces 24 award-winning wines.
During the bus trip to Willcox, our wine-master will talk with you about the winery and the vineyard. Once at the vineyard we’ll take you on a guided tour and talk about the different types of grapes and growing techniques, especially looking at how grapes can thrive here in Arizona. Taste the ripe grapes right off the vine and take home a cluster of your favorite.
After the tour, you’ll sample the various Kokopelli wines while enjoying live music and a light lunch in the vineyard. Our return trip should have you back to Chandler by 5 pm – so if you like, plan to stay on and join us at the Bistro for a Kool Jamz dinner with live music.
Advance reservations are required.
