Just a scenic hour southeast of Tucson, Willcox, Arizona sits in the heart of the nationally accredited Willcox American Viticultural Area (AVA), home to Arizona’s premier wine country. Wide-open skies, dramatic sunsets, and vineyard-dotted landscapes create an unforgettable setting for exploration and relaxation.

​

Willcox is steeped in rich history and authentic Southwest character. Visitors can step back in time at Fort Bowie National Historic Site, explore the rugged beauty of the Cochise Stronghold, and discover local stories through multiple museums and historic landmarks, including Arizona’s first and longest-running General Store.

​

Today, Willcox blends its past with a vibrant present. Renowned for award-winning wineries and tasting rooms, the area invites guests to sip exceptional wines without the crowds or pretension - just genuine hospitality and craftsmanship rooted in the land.

​

Once known in the 1930s for its expansive cattle ranges, Willcox served as the largest rail shipping point in the United States, earning the proud title “Cattle Capital of the World.” That pioneering spirit still defines the community today: resilient, welcoming, and deeply connected to agriculture, tradition, and the freedom of the open range.
