We grow 12 acres of wine grapes that are sold to Javelina Leap Vineyard & Winery in Cornville, AZ. You can sample wine made with our local Arizona grapes at the Javelina Leap Tasting room. Learn more here: http://www.javelinaleapwinery.com/
Varietals we cultivate are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Barbera, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Grigio, and Sauvignon Blanc. We use sustainable grape growing practices that include Integrated Pest Management, OMRI (organic) approved pesticides, cover cropping, and minimal tillage.
Are you interested in working in the vineyard to harvest grapes? Or are you a viticulture student looking for practicum hours? Also, we do occasionally have small quantities of grapes available for sale to home brewers, please contact Jesse to inquire.
