Dos Cabezas Wineworks

This was the first winery we hit on our wine wheel adventure. It was very family driven, with the owners dog and children making an appearance. By far the wine tasting increments were the largest throughout the afternoon. Paired with tasty salt crackers and a knowledgable wine pourer this place blended with our expectations, but did not go beyond or below them whatsoever

Great wines and great people. What more could you want? Dos Cabezas is the standard bearer for magnificent Arizona red wine. Even their most fiscally conservative red blend is amazing. If you are in Sonoita and are looking for great wine, stop here first. They are now offering the Kindred in their tasting menu. This wine is an amazing combination of the work of four vineyards. The robust flavors pulled from this wine are well worth the price.

This places rocks! totally amazing trip and I luv the logo. You gotta read the descriptions of the wine menu so hilarious and unique. I lived many years in the Bay Area and Napa wine country and AZ does a pretty damn good job.

Dos Cabezas is my favorite winery to visit in Sonoita, possibly Arizona. The Bostocks are always wonderful hosts and their wines are among my favorites. Their dedication to the Sonoita community and making it a tourism destination is also commendable. If you get an opportunity to take a tour of the facility with Todd, you will be treated to as much information as you want about the operation and how it has evolved over the years. This is a true homegrown, family-​run operation and an Arizona gem that should be on everyone’s to do list. Pro Tip: If you’re driving down to Sonoita for a weekend away from the big city, try arriving before 4:30 pm so you can pick up a couple bottles from their tasting room to get you through the first night in town.

My friend and I paid them a visit on an off day and they were kind enough to open up and give us a tour and tasting! Now, that’s service! For starters, the owners, Todd and his wife are super lovely. They have plenty of variety and their wine flights come with about 8 or more wines which is more than the other wineries in the area. So, that explains the slightly higher price. The setting is cozy and the walls are covered with their own art an photography. It’s just awesome

Of all the wineries in Sonoita/​Elgin, this was the best. I know that’s a matter of personal opinion, but honestly the quality and varieties of wines were unparalleled. You pay $ 15 for 10 tastings which is quite a lot of wine! The service is great, they have pita chips to cleanse your pallet and it was very clean. The location is great, too — within walking distance to multiple reataurants and a delightful café/​bakery. After 10 tastings, you will need to sober up, and it’s great to take a break and grab a meal or snack! Their wines are pricier than others we visited, but for good reason! It is absolutely worth the visit from Tucson — it left a strong impression!

This tasting room is pretty pricey at $ 15 a flight– to be fair, they do give you quite a lot of samples (more than some of the other tasting rooms), and this of course is the price including the glass which you take home.
None of the wine blew me away, I enjoyed the tempranillo, but as it sat in the glass it changed flavor and wasn’t all I thought it was initially. It’s a nice place to stop in if you’re driving through the area… but if you’re driving through the area you might as well visit the other vineyards in the area ;)
The woman pouring was nice, but didn’t really engage or speak with us about the wines. Oh well. I will probably leave this room out of our Sonoita tasting rotation.

I don’t know how Senoita wineries get away with charging so much for wine tasting. This place was $ 15 per person and they don’t apply the charge to a bottle if you buy. The wine was not especially interesting, although the area is nice. The lady working the counter was very friendly, but overall we were underwhelmed with the wine and the price.

Loved my visit once again! Every time I visit I discover something new… how about that Tempranillo in the El Campo…

Of all the wineries on the Sonoita/​Elgin loop, this one is the must-​stop. They have the nicest tasting room and a great patio. In the peak season, they sometimes serve food as well. They also have the most varietals, I think, so you get A LOT of samples to try and you are sure to find something you like. The other big plus is that they are right in the middle of town so you… A. — can’t get lost and B. — can walk somewhere close by to eat if you need to sober up a bit before driving on. The downside is that they don’t have an actual vineyard there, just the tasting room. But most of the other places around here (as well as the ones up North in Verde Valley) get the bulk of their grapes from Wilcox anyway.
It is great to see a winery around here doing so well. Other than AZ Stronghold, Dos Cabezas makes my favorite Arizona wines.

This wine can be bought across Arizona. It was great to go to the actual winery and try a bunch of their wines. They offer great wines!
Try the El Norte, it is fantastic!

Delicious wines, Arizona is on the winemaking map!
I tried a couple of AZ wines 15+ years ago and after that experience, didn’t dare try again until now. On a vacation to southeastern AZ, visitng Patagonia and the surrounding area, we saw the Dos Cabezas sign. We had just enjoyed a lunch (at The Café a few doors down) but they hadn’t gotten their liquor license yet and I had really wanted to try a local wine.
Dos Cabezas offers a range of reds, seem to be for all tastes. Certainly, they suited all of my tastes — I tried and bought a couple of bottles of their table wine («Red»), something like a grenache smooth but not cloying; some Rojo del Sol crafted (designed?) buy the Oregon winemaker Dick Erath which reminded me of a wine vacation in the Willamette Valley, OR. And a bottle of the Aguileon (eagle lion?) that will be a real treat with a special Christmas meal!
The tasting room was friendly and quiet, the staff friendly and it was a fun stop on our vaction!

Dos Cabezas has a wine tasting room in Sonoita, AZ — where I went. It was fantastic! I really enjoyed their wines. The El Norte and Aguileon were my favorites. They are such smooth reds with a nice finish. The wine tasting manager was incredibly informative and gave us great suggestions on what to pair the wines with and what to do while in Sonoita/​Elgin. I really thought this was a great wine tasting experience and would go again. I can’t wait to crack open my wine bottles!!!
