About this venue

The oldest commercial vineyard and winery in Arizona, Sonoita Vineyards was started in 1974, opened in 1983 and now includes over 30 acres of vines. Aided by the unique growing conditions of the Sonoita Appellation (AVA – American Viticultural Area), the winery consistently creates award winning wines, including a Cabernet Sauvignon chosen by national wine critics to serve at a Presidential Inauguration Gala. Perched at an elevation of 5,000 feet among rolling grasslands, the vineyard is surrounded on three sides by soaring mountain ranges. The staff is small making each vintage of wine a one of a kind experience. The small staff does all the production and vine care under the guidance of Lori Reynolds, our Winemaker and granddaughter to our founder Dr. Gordon Dutt and Robi Reynolds, our Vineyard Manager.

It is highly suggested that the earliest that weddings can be held at Sonoita Vineyards is 5pm. This enables our staff to ensure that our customers have completed their wine tastings and purchases by 4:30pm in order for your event to run as smoothly as possible with few interruptions.
Yes, you can get married at Sonoita Vineyards early in the day, however, please understand that since our Tasting Room is open 7 days/week, we will be open for all other customers during regular business hours (10am – 4/4:30pm).
The clock starts upon arrival, or upon the time that you reserved the space, whichever is earlier.
Yes. The party rental company that you choose may be able to set up a “floating” dance floor on the crushed rock, which works well. It is also highly advised (from past experience) that you set up the dance floor near the guest tables, so that guests can eat and dance, and not have to walk to another part of the winery grounds to do so.
No. All beverages need to be provided by the winery. Our license does not allow for hard liquor or beer to be consumed on the premises.
Again, all beverages need to be provided by the winery
Yes, absolutely! A DJ or band can set up at the winery; however, they are responsible for bringing all of their own equipment (to include extension cords).
Yes, and there are quite a few great local catering companies to choose from for every style and taste. Contact the Event Manager for a list of local caterers.
Yes. Sonoita Vineyards is renting the space – you will be responsible for tables, chairs, dance floor, etc.
