Carlson Creek Vineyard

Amazing wines, professional, excellent customer service, above and beyond. It is worth the drive!

Passed through on my way to Texas. Great winery with a very nice staff. Trying to secure their own AVA. Help then out and go taste.
Wine region has a lot of work to do to find some complexity but they offer a few solid wines.

My husband and I received a wine tasting as an anniversary gift from our kids. We were able to try 8 different kinds of wine. This place is fantastic. I have to say, each and everyone of them was great. The woman pouring was friendly and very knowledgeable. It was difficult not buying a case of each wine we tasted. If you are a wine lover and have never been to Wilcox you are missing out. We are already planning on another trip for more wine.

My husband is not a fan of wine; however, I am a wine fanatic! We found this place while driving from Dallas to Phoenix and we both highly enjoyed ourselves at the $ 5 wine tasting. The staff was very polite and the wine was to die for! I enjoyed the Chardonnay and the spicy Sangiovese while my husband loved the Riesling and blanc. It was the best of both worlds! Sweet, spice and everything nice. Great cozy place to stop with family while making a road trip.

We bought a Groupon for 2 at $ 21, and it came with 4 tastings, 2 wine glasses and 2 bottles of wine! The tastings were delicious and we had a good time. Definitely recommend this place and will be back in October for the Wine Fest in October

Very lovely little tasting room and a super nice lady that works there. The wines are very fancy and worth the stop!

Located downtown Wilcox, near a few other tasting rooms, was this shining star: Carlson Creek. This tasting room is located on the «other side of the tracks» along a cute row of little houses with white picket fences. While the tasting room is small, we were lucky to have a private tasting around a cozy little bar. The woman pouring was very friendly too! Most of their wines have won awards, making it hard to choose what to taste. I really liked the Chardonnay, but also the 2012 Sangiovese. Tastings were 50% off with the AZ wine travel card ($ 20) and you also get a 10% off discount when you purchase 3 or more bottles.

Had the amazing privilege of meeting Robert Carlson after a friend of ours won a day with him at a wine auction in Phoenix. Enjoyed a hike up to 7000 feet in the Chiricahua Mountains with amazing views with him and 9 bottles of his wine to taste with cheese, crackers and other snacks. Robert provided great history of the area as well as great conversation starters of all types– he is truly a renaissance man!
We then drove down to his vineyard and got a tour of the actual vines, along with a great lesson in how they grow, farm them, etc. We then drove into Wilcox to the tasting room and had more wine and more conversation. He then set up a reservation for us (with more free wine!) at Café Roka in Bisbee where we were all staying. Was a great day!
As for the wines, definitely the Rule of Three was a crowd favorite. I also loved the Sangiovese, Merlot, and Syrah (and normally I hate Syrah’s!). We were lucky enough to buy the first bottles of the 2012 Syrah! Cannot wait to enjoy them and reminiscence about this great day. If ever in Wilcox, definitely stop in and enjoy the wines… the tasting room is super cute as well.

Really liked the Carlson Creek Rule of Three. Tried it initially without food; the flavor was complex and there were hints of pomegranate and plum that came out. Can’t wait to try it with a beef dish! For the price seems like a good value and one that you can keep for a while.

Of the three tasting rooms we visited this day, Carlson Creek was our favorite. Our hostess Lucy, was very informative and welcoming. Conversation just flows when enjoying the wines in this cute little building which was a former home. We could easily have spent the afternoon drinking and chatting with Lucy.
The 2010 Chardonnay and the 2012 Sweet Adeline Riesling were our favorites and M and I took home a bottle of each.
Thumbs up for Carlson Creek!

We really enjoyed this intimate tasting room– the wines were all very nice as well. The woman there spent a lot of time with us chatting and explaining about their wines. The location is very quaint in a tiny little historic house– very cute. We will be back for another visit :)

Fantastic place to do a wine tasting. Great service and most importantly, great wine. It is nice to know that a vineyard in Willcox offers a great selection of Arizona wines.
Geat spot to check out while wine tasting in Willcox.

Love the wine, enjoyed the conversation and story behind the vineyard. I really like the logo. You even get to keep the glasses with a tasting. It’s a must go on the wine tour of southern AZ.
