What travelers are saying

They learn everything from planting the vineyard to harvesting to producing to working a tasting room.

The Southwest Wine Center, located on the Verde Campus of Yavapai College in Clarkdale, AZ, is well worth a stop.

The location is on the college campus, which runs the vineyards and winery as part of an educational program.
