    Send Soaring Wines To Your Family and Friends Across The States

    Arizona wine travels well. We ship our high-desert wines to 38 states and Washington, D.C., so a bottle from the Willcox Bench can land on a doorstep almost anywhere in the country.

    The Short Version

    • We ship to 38 states and Washington, D.C.
    • In Tucson or Phoenix? We deliver at no cost with three bottles or more — no shipping needed
    • A $50 virtual gift card lets them choose their own
    • Someone aged 21 or over has to be there to receive the wine

    Where We Ship

    Looking for a gift that will have someone flying over the moon? We ship our handcrafted, high-desert wines to 38 states and Washington, D.C. Orders go out through Vinoshipper and travel by UPS.

    Wine cannot be left on a doorstep. Someone aged 21 or over has to be there to receive it, so it is worth choosing an address where somebody will be in.

    See Where We Ship

    In Tucson or Phoenix? We Deliver

    Soaring Wines Arizona high-altitude vineyard with Grape Vines, Blue Sky, Mountains And Hangar

    If the wine is going to someone in the Tucson or Phoenix area, skip shipping altogether. We deliver to both metro areas ourselves, at no cost with a purchase of three bottles or more.

    It is quicker, it costs less, and the bottles never sit in a truck in an Arizona summer.

    Not Sure Which Wine? Send a Gift Card

    Not sure which wine to load into the cargo hold? Our $50 virtual gift card lets them choose for themselves — the right bottle for their taste rather than your best guess.

    Buy more than one if you would like to make it a bigger gift. Once you have bought it, we will get in touch for the recipient’s name and email address, then send them a note explaining how to redeem it in our shop.

    How It Works

    1. Pre-flight prep: choose your bottles or a gift card
    2. Secure loading: we pack them like precious cargo
    3. In transit: the wines travel by UPS through Vinoshipper
    4. Landing: an adult signs for the parcel, and it is ready to open

    Why It Makes a Good Gift

    • Grown in Willcox: our vineyard sits above 4,000 feet on ground that was once a kite landing field
    • A story in every bottle: the wine names, the airfield, the history of the place
    • Not on a supermarket shelf: a small Arizona winery is a gift most people have not had before

    If you would rather pick the wines yourself, every bottle in the fleet has its own page with tasting notes and food pairings.

    How It Works

    There is no form to fill in and nothing to arrange in advance. It happens at checkout.

    1. Order three or more bottles from our shop
    2. Choose local delivery at checkout rather than shipping
    3. We contact you within a day to agree on a date, time and place
    4. One of us brings the wine to your door

    Because we deliver it ourselves rather than handing it to a courier, we can work around you — evenings and weekends included.

    What It Saves

    Shipping three bottles across Arizona costs around $25 by the time it reaches you. Local delivery removes that entirely, which is roughly the price of another bottle.

    It is also faster, and the wine is never sitting in a truck in an Arizona summer — which matters more here than most places.

    Where We Deliver

    We cover the Tucson and Phoenix metro areas. If you are somewhere between the two, or just outside, ask us — we are on the road for festivals through much of the year and can often work something out.

    If you would rather collect in person, our tasting room in downtown Willcox is open Thursday to Saturday, noon to 6pm.

    Outside Arizona

    Outside the two metro areas, we ship through Vinoshipper via UPS to 38 states and Washington, D.C.

    The Wine Collective of Scottsdale, where Soaring Wines is poured in Old Town Scottsdale

    Located in Old Town Scottsdale, The Wine Collective of Scottsdale specialises in Arizona wines, and was voted the best new wine bar in 2023 by the Phoenix New Times.

    Ask for Soaring Wines at the bar and you will find a rotating selection of our wines by the glass and by the bottle. We are proud to be a tasting room partner there — it is our satellite location in the Phoenix area, and the easiest place to try our wine without making the drive to Willcox.

    Retail stock moves around. Shops reorder at their own pace and a wine that was on the shelf last month may not be there today. If you are making a journey for a particular bottle, call the store first — or order from us and skip the uncertainty.

    Our List of Upcoming Wine Festivals

    Stay tuned — we add festivals to this list as they are confirmed.

    Why Attend A Wine Festival?

    Taste A World of Flavors

    Wine festivals are a fantastic opportunity to sample a wide variety of Arizona wines. From bold reds to crisp whites and everything in between, you can explore flavors you have not tried before. Our festivals feature local wineries, giving you a chance to taste the unique terroir of Arizona. Don’t be shy—ask questions and learn about the winemaking process from the experts themselves!

    Meet Fellow Wine Enthusiasts

    There’s something special about bonding over a shared love of wine. At a festival, you’ll find fellow enthusiasts happy to:

    • Chat about their favorite varietals
    • Share tasting tips
    • Swap stories

    It’s a great way to make new friends and connect with people who share your passion.

    Discover Art & Wine Pairing

    Almost all wine festivals are paired with an art festival, allowing you the chance to discover and engage in two of humanity’s finest forms of expression, art & wine. Strolling through the festival grounds, you’ll encounter stunning visual art, from paintings and sculptures to photography and crafts, that will leave you inspired. Coupled with the rich aroma and exquisite flavors of local wines, your senses will be in for a treat.

    Enjoy Delicious Food

    What pairs better with wine than food? Many wine festivals feature food vendors offering delectable bites that complement the wines on offer:

    • Artisanal cheeses
    • Gourmet chocolates
    • Wine and food pairing workshops at some festivals, so you can carry the ideas home

    Experience Live Entertainment

    Wine festivals are not just about sipping and savoring; they often include live music, entertainment, and even art displays. Enjoy the sounds of local bands or dance the day away while sipping your favorite vintage. The lively atmosphere adds to the overall experience, making it a fun outing for friends and family.

    Learn From The Experts

    Many festivals offer seminars and workshops led by sommeliers, winemakers, and industry professionals. These sessions cover:

    • Wine tasting techniques
    • Food pairings
    • The intricacies of winemaking

    Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned pro, there’s always something new to learn!

    Support Local Vintners and Artists

    A festival is not just about enjoying art and wine; it’s also an opportunity to support local talent. Many festivals highlight regional artists and wineries, allowing you to discover new favorites while also contributing to your local economy. Purchasing art and wine directly from creators fosters a sense of community and connection.

    What To Expect At A Wine Festival

    A Welcoming Atmosphere

    Most wine festivals are designed to be friendly and inviting. You’ll find a diverse crowd, from seasoned wine aficionados to curious newcomers. Don’t hesitate to strike up a conversation with fellow attendees or ask staff for recommendations.

    Tasting Tickets

    When you arrive, you’ll typically get a tasting glass and a set of tickets. Each ticket usually corresponds to a tasting pour, so be sure to pace yourself and savor each sip.

    Weather Considerations

    Most wine festivals take place outdoors, so come prepared for the weather. A few things worth bringing:

    • Sunscreen and a hat
    • A light jacket, depending on the season
    • Comfortable shoes — you will be walking the grounds and standing for tastings

    Designated Drivers and Transportation

    If you plan to indulge in the tastings, consider arranging for a designated driver or using a rideshare service — or let someone else do the driving with a guided winery tour.

    Final Thoughts

    Wine festivals are a celebration of culture, community, and, of course, wine! They offer a unique opportunity to explore new flavors, meet interesting people, and enjoy a day filled with fun and learning. So gather your friends, grab your tasting glasses, and get ready for an unforgettable experience. Cheers to discovering the wonderful world of wine!

    Come fly with us. You’ll find us pouring at festivals across Arizona through fall and spring, and at our tasting room in downtown Willcox Thursday through Saturday. Browse our wine fleet before you visit.

    Arizona Wine Festivals: What Makes Ours Different

    Arizona’s festival season runs fall through spring, when the desert is comfortable enough to spend an afternoon outdoors. Most wineries here are small, family-run operations, which makes a festival the easiest place to meet the person who actually made the wine without driving out to the vineyard.

    Our fruit grows in the Willcox Bench, southeast Arizona’s premier wine growing region, on an estate above 4,000 feet. Intense sun, cool nights and lean sandy loam that gives little away send the vines deep and give the fruit its balance. A festival pour is the quickest way to taste what that elevation does across our whole fleet, side by side, in an afternoon.
