We are located right off HWY 83. Plug our address, 18585 S Sonoita Hwy

Vail, AZ 85641, into your GPS. 

Coming from Tucson, take I-10 East. Then, take the exit for HWY 83 South. Drive about 6 miles south on 83 until you come to a left turn onto a dirt road. Charron Vineyards is located 3/4 miles down the dirt road on the right. Just look for the large flag or sign that says "Tasting Room" or "Winery" or "Charron Vineyards"!

Charron Vineyards offers flights of wine any time we are open. 

You may choose from ANY of the wines on our menu - including our delicious specialties:  Frozen Wine Slushy or Warm Mulled Wine!

Your server will give you a Tasting Worksheet which you will fill out with your six (1 oz.) selections. We recommend listing your choices from Dry to Sweet. Then, your server will bring out your flight all at once, so that you may enjoy your tasting at your leisure. 

Current prices for wine tasting are: 

• $17 with an included Souvenir Crystal Wine Glass
