about sonoita

Located in the high-elevation, rolling grasslands of Southern Arizona, Sonoita has a rich history of ranching, mining and agriculture.

Today, Sonoita enjoys the reputation of being called Arizona's Wine Country, and is home to several award-winning wineries. These vineyards represent a rapidly growing industry, which originated some four decades ago.

Ranching still has a prominent role in the area, with several large cattle ranches managed by generations-old families.

Sonoita boasts some of the finest restaurants in Southern Arizona. An array of gift shops, artisan studios and other cottage-industry businesses are scattered throughout the rolling hillsides. Whether you are looking for Native American jewelry or rugs, fine apparel, handmade pottery, or one-of-a-kind gifts, Sonoita has it all.

Extend your Sonoita visit by staying at one of the local bed-and-breakfasts or guest ranches.
