The Verde Valley Wine Festival is Northern Arizona’s foremost wine and culinary festival, and we are excited to return to a new location in the Verde Valley for festival #6. People will come from around the region and beyond to the City of Cottonwood known as the “Heart of Arizona Wine Country”. It’s also well known for its rich history, small town atmosphere, and an array of sites, outdoor adventures, and fun.
This festival is benefiting the Arizona Wine Growers Association (AWGA) and the Verde Valley Wine Consortium (VVWC). We are excited to be working in a collaborative partnership with these two non-profit organizations on this festival.
The Verde Valley Wine Consortium’s Vision is:
The Verde Valley Wine Consortium assists in creating, nurturing and advancing the Verde Valley as a significant and important wine region—locally, regionally, nationally and internationally—in every aspect of winemaking, wine culture, wine education and wine tourism.
The Arizona Wine Growers Association:
Advocates for growth, change, and opportunities to strengthen all aspects of wine growing, making, selling, and drinking.
We share the vision and the passion with both organizations.
