This place was perfect for me. I was there on a Wednesday afternoon and it wasn't busy so that added to the perfection. The wine is lovely. Instead of a flight, I went with a couple of glasses recommended by staff and they were spot on! Took the wine outside to sit in an Adirondack chair in the shade by the little creek and just relaxed. And then a musician started up on the porch and he was great! Very chill and just added to the relaxing vibe. Lots of seating options here, inside and outside. Wine is really good. A pond with a fountain and another fountain that feeds into a bubbling creek really add to the atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic atmosphere! Great wine! I could spend all day here sitting on the wrap around porch, swinging on the amazing porch swing, listening to live music and sipping tasty sangria! Service was great and the property was immaculate. read more

Beautiful space and dog friendly! In the cool Spring air the views of the small lake and the live music in the background is perfect for a little treat. The space also seems to have an area for other events (covered barn structure with tables) and also has an area for kids to play in with a small fence and a tree swing. Wine was really nice as well and they have a food truck there though we didn't try it this time. read more

Beautiful location. Delicious boutique wines. We went here 2 years ago and then again yesterday. The wines have more depth and level now and they have a wine clue now. A glass of wine is about $18 and a bottle is around $60, unless it is a reserve. read more

Da ranch is definitely a favorite! Their grounds are gorgeous with lots of beautiful sitting areas to enjoy wine. I bet it's extra beautiful when the leaves turn colors in the fall!! I love the look and design of their winery. I felt like I just stepped into someone's cozy country ranch home. You can sit on the porch in rocking chairs, listen to live music while drinking wine. I made sure to get a picture on their swing which is attached to one of their huge trees. Great wine tasting photo op! I can't wait to come back, have a picnic and spend more time here! read more

DA Ranch is a stunning property. The grounds are beautiful. Gorgeous mountains views, lots of places to relax and enjoy wine, fire pits, a tranquil pond, nearby farm with goats, live music, occasional food trucks...DA Ranch is a gem! The tasting room is laid back. It feels like a cowboy ranch in Montana. They have picnics snacks and some fun merchandise for purchase. Their wines are good. They are a bit pricier than other Arizona wines, but the grounds are so worth paying a little more! You can't visit DA without taking a turn on their swing! It's attached to a massive tree and you have to swing at least once. We love that DA is pet friendly. We've taken our boxer a few times. He loves playing with the owners dog Kevin. DA isn't open everyday so make sure and check their hours so you're not disappointed. DA has such a great vibe. Its welcoming and hard to leave. We are lucky the owners share their little piece of heaven with us! It's a must if you're in the area! read more

What a beautiful place! We just stopped in for a tasting and enjoyed the live music and great tasting ($26 for flight of 5 and you can keep your gorgeous glass). Staff are friendly, fun and helpful. The tasting room inside was cool and air conditioned on a super hot day, but you can also sit on the misted patios. I see why weddings are popular here, with massive trees, grass, shady areas, a beautiful barn. Be sure to check that they're open before you head out, they sometimes close during their usual hours for events. read more

We enjoyed DA Ranch. Be careful when turning off the main highway. You go only a short distance up the gravel road, then turn left at the DA Ranch entrance. Do not continue on that gravel road, up the hill. Al of the signs on that road going up are for something else :) It was a nice sunny day today, but it was quite warm. We got there about 1 PM. We went inside the main house where the tasting room. We grabbed a table but it ended up being too noisy inside. There was a large group and they were talking quite energetically. We ended up moving to a table on the deck around the main house. There are other places on the property with seating in shade as well. We bought a couple of glasses of wine (Willow White and Malvasia - both chilled whites) and began to enjoy them at our table on the porch. I walked over to the food truck placed our lunch order. I was given a pager. The food took about 15 minutes and was really tasty. We shared an order of Vegetable Spring Rolls (deep-fried) and a Southwest Turkey Melt sandwich. All of the staff that I encountered at the winery were very nice. There was one woman in particular, who was sort of a floater. She was everywhere doing all sorts of things. She was quite helpful to us. The grounds are beautiful here. There's a babbling creek that runs on the side of the main house. There's a large swing suspended from a tree in the front yard. There are private areas that can be rented out and other small areas to hang out in. They allow well behaved leashed dogs on property and we saw several. And they have goats! There were a number of goats in a 2 acre fenced area next to the parking lot. We both enjoyed the wine and lunch, but it was a warm day, we were sweating and decided to call it a day. On a cooler day, I would enjoy coming back again on a day that's a little bit cooler. A lot of wine tour companies include DA Ranch on their tours. There's a reason why. Check it out. read more

DA Ranch was the second stop on our wine tour, and so impressive! We were immediately obsessed with the gorgeous grounds - the pond with a gazebo and willow tree, rope swings, pen of farm animals, etc. It was a beautiful sunny day and the outdoor area was great for both children and dogs. The ranch house was also charming and had plenty of seating both indoors and on the porch. The interior had rustic decor and there was a long line to order at the bar, although it did move quickly. They didn't offer tasting flights, so we got two bottles to share a group - the 2022 Mae Rosé and 2022 Willow White. I only tried the Mae Rosé and really loved that one, although rosé isn't normally my go-to. We found a shady spot on the porch but ended up wandering around the grounds for most of our visit. Loved this spot! read more

What a pretty place. Large ranch house that you can sit inside or outside on the patio. Lots of different types of seating. If you can snag an Adirondack chair outside in the sun it's lovely. They had two different bands in the 2 hours that we were there. There are swings and games such as corn hole and Jenga to keep kids and adults occupied. We got a fabulous bottle of Syrah. We didn't get anything but There was a food truck if you get hungry. read more

DA Ranch - Wineries Near Me - Cornville, Arizona

Disclaimer: rarely, if ever give 5 stars. There is always room for improvement. If you're in Cornville head here! One of the better wineries in the Verde Valley AVA. The property is STUNNING to say the least! Acres upon acres of vines, a lovely scenic pond with plenty of seating and tables. The winery is popular and you will encounter many of the wine party vans and guests, but parking is ample and easily accessible. The lines are long however staff is efficient with pours. Food is pricey and limited to charcuterie boards, although food trucks show up on the regular. Savories was there the day we visited. Check their online calendar for events and the available food trucks. I opted for a sangria, which was really light and refreshing. Of the local wineries DA wines are above average. I'm from California originally so my wine expectations are fairly high. I haven't yet found an Arizona wine that has really wowed me yet, but DA is competitive! Definitely worth a visit if you're crossing through Cornville or Page Springs! The ambiance alone is a 100/10! read more

this was a beautiful winery. Tucked away like a hidden gem. The fact that my husband liked three out of the four wines was amazing because he does not usually like wine. The service was great. The landscape and seating areas were all very inviting. Right behind the building there was this huge bonfire pit with Adirondack chairs around the entire thing. they have live music that changes up either weekly or monthly and they have different food trucks throughout the month. The food truck that was there on our visit was called savories and their sandwiches were amazing! We will definitely go back again. read more

I didn't even know we had places like this in Arizona, it felt like I stepped into a small oasis in Napa. The greenery and landscape really set the mood for a nice day of tastings. I got a flight which was nice, I was not a fan of two of the wines, we all have our preferences but I love to try new things. They had charcuterie boards packed in fridges which looked cool but they also had a really nice food truck as well. The space is very big with people on swings, laying in the grass and sitting on chairs by the river. I can't wait to come back and show friends and family. read more

Adorable grounds here, touches my heart. I almost cried as I drove thru the gates.... beautiful vineyard views, cushy chairs surrounded by misters, peaceful pond with a lovely fountain and beautiful little walking path around it. Inside is a lovely seating area with a wrap around patio. Lawn games are outside also! A variety of wines locally made from their grapes, vineyard on site are offered. I also have a photo of live music of a past Saturday... but I was told to check their website to see other live music events on weekends. The grounds and landscapes here are really lovely and serene, be sure to stop in. Great for groups and weddings with tons of seating areas and beautiful views for pictures !cool merch store inside too! Meet their cute dog too. He loves you to say hi and pet him. I attended a Pilates mat class here and was so grateful to see DA Ranch today! read more

Another winery suggested we check this vineyard out. We are so glad we did as the atmosphere alone is worth it. Beautiful vineyard with various seating areas and we had live music as well. There were a couple cute tree swings to swing on as well. The misters on the patio helped as well since it was 100 degrees! Thw wine tasting was good and the red sangria was so refreshing and we were so happy they had that. read more

We visited on a Saturday. It was busy and the estate grounds were pleasant and inviting. It seems more like a place to hang out and party than a real winery. Doing a tasting flight here is unlike any other winery that I've been to, and I lived for 22 years in the California Central Coast wine region where there are hundreds of wineries. Because the wine servers are really just bar tenders, there is little time for them to explain much about the winery or the wines; you get a pour and then you have to sort of figure it out on your own. We got a flight of their reds. The first wine was a blend that had a rather astringent acrid taste to it. Their single varietal Sarah and Petit Sirah were a little better but I found them to be soft, timid, and non aromatic. All of the wines seemed chalky to me, which I suppose has something to do with the desert like soil in central Arizona. If you want to kick back with your friends over a few bottles of wine, this is probably a good place. If you do go, bring some carrots for the goats, they were great. If you are looking for a good authentic fine wine tasting experience, this is probably not the place. read more

DA Ranch - Wineries Near Me - Cornville, Arizona

Perfect place for a day outing. Loverly vineyards with plenty of grass seating. Reasonably flight tasting experience and next to the narrow flow of water makes the day. There was a food truck the day we went but since we were not aware so we got food from the town before we reached here. However, the truck won't be there everyday if I am not wrong. There is a pond on the property too and a very pictorial place. The staff here was nice too and very welcoming. The road to the vineyards is not good once you enter a side path but that is short and doesn't matter much when you see the destination. read more

DA Ranch - Fall - Wineries Near Me - Cornville, Arizona

DA Ranch was a last-minute decision in two different ways. One of my friends had been under the mistaken impression I was going to Sonoma for months and when she found out it was actually Sedona the day before we left, grabbed this recommendation from her brother who'd been here before and enjoyed it. Additionally, my top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I stumbled out of the gate with respect to our lunch plans in Arizona, and impulsively chose to come here hoping for some sustenance (along with wine). In DA's defense, we were probably not in the best frame of mind (or appetite) to enjoy this experience as much as we would have otherwise, but there were a few issues that would have been a problem even if we'd been fully rested and satiated. The first problem made itself apparent literally as we came in - the parking/driving situation is very badly designed. By definition, you have to drive past the winery to the parking area on the other side, which requires you also to drive past tons of people milling about holding wine glasses. It's almost like driving through a less chaotic version of Bourbon Street, minus the vomit. Besides being awkward, I think it's actually a pretty big liability for them and I'm surprised they'd put their customers in a position where they have to keep an eye out for passing vehicles while they're enjoying their wine. The exit is nowhere near this area so that seems like an easy, obvious fix. The optics are gorgeous, and that's by far the biggest selling point. They have a cute little farm off to the side, and there's a peaceful lake with some weeping willows and a gazebo setup that I'm sure is a backdrop for a ton of wedding pictures. The ranch house is really nice too; the farmhouse vibes give it a level of intimacy that you don't see at a lot of wineries, where there's usually a more formal setting for the tastings, at least. It might be a little TOO intimate, in that you can walk right in and through the kitchen area where employees are doing prep work, but overall I think they have a good setup for this. It was very busy when we were there (Saturday late afternoon), and there were a lot of lines for tastings and the bathrooms, which were limited. Based on what I saw, they could use one more bathroom and one more tasting area (there's a main spot in the ranch house, and then another, smaller one off to the side of the porch outside) during a high-volume time like this. There was a fantastic mobile pizza oven/truck in front of the winery. I am absolutely furious at myself for not getting the name, and I just spent 10 minutes trying in vain to find it online. It was exactly what we needed in the moment, so those are also points in DA's favor. Food is not always a given at a winery (which is mystifying to me), and good food is rarer. This hit the spot. I had a margarita with my chum's pepperonis, and it was honestly one of the best food truck pizzas I've had - which I think IS saying something coming from the NYC metro area where they have quite a few. The guy was very nice/personable, though he could have used an assistant; there was a backlog of about 15 minutes or so. The biggest problem though? I'm sorry to say, the wine was not very good. Not every area of the country can do decent wine (Georgia is another one that comes to mind) and that's apparently true of the Arizona dry climate. Neither of us were fans; the flavors were just very dull to the palate and lacked nuanced notes. In my opinion, the best alcohol content for wine is around 12% - these were 13% to 14%, which I think does make a difference and not in a good way. The rose was probably my favorite, for what it's worth. The woman handling the tasting outside was very nice; we liked her a lot, so they at least know how to hire good service at this place. This wasn't a terrible experience, but you're in one of the most breathtaking areas of the country - I'd forego the wineries and focus on the landscapes. Grab a cocktail in downtown Sedona and enjoy that view. read more

If you're looking for a great Sedona winery experience, this is your place. Driving up, the log cabin house is absolutely gorgeous, and the surrounding area and scenery is really pretty. This was our last winery stop and I wish we had more time here. There was a food truck outside and a giant tree swing. The big wrap around porch was so inviting and the inside was really pretty too. They offer wine flights and by the glass also. There's a cold fridge with cold cuts to make a charcuterie board to accompany your wine. Also some really awesome rosemary seasoned nuts I highly recommend! There was a bachelorette party here, and there was a lot of outdoor seating areas to hand out at. They had a bonfire area with seating and long tables on the porch which is where we sat and enjoyed the wine and the view. The wine was delicious, I bought two bottles to send back home! This was my favorite stop out of all the wineries we went too. We are already planning a return trip this spring! read more

The whole Cornville wine region is beautiful! We had lunch at Paige springs Cellars and then came here to sip more wine. It's a neat setup. Like you're just hanging around someone's ranch.. walking in their lovely home to grab a drink and snacks in the kitchen. It's so informal and I love it. There are yard games, farm animals to visit and pet, a tree swing, a peaceful pond and lots of seating areas and grass. Both grandma and kiddos alike enjoyed it Here was our day trip agenda 1) Montezuma National Monument 2) Montezuma Well 3) Paige Springs Cellars for lunch and wine 4) DA Ranch Vineyards for more wine 5) Drove through Cottonwood 6) Tuzigoot National Monument 7) Jerome: Daisy mine and shops and restaurants It was a beautiful adventurous day! read more

The BEST winery in the area, so glad we decided to spend the afternoon here. Beautiful picturesque setting with a little lake and a stream that borders the lawn in front of the tasting room---which is a beautifully grand cabin. Large wrap around covered porch with plenty of seating inside and out. Courteous staff, tasty wine, and they even had non alcoholic options. Dog friendly, kid friendly. Huge trees out front with long roped wooden swings. Goats, and donkey on the property. Property is extremely well maintained and would be a beautiful venue for a wedding or party. Today they had live music and the musician was fantastic. This winery was recommended by a tour guide in Sedona and today did not disappoint! Was the highlight of our trip to Sedona. Definitely recommend!! read more

DA Ranch - Grounds - Wineries Near Me - Cornville, Arizona

From Chicago, and I've done a ton of wine tastings, and I am not exaggerating when I say that DAR (Dancing Apache Ranch) was one of the highlights of our weeklong trip to Arizona. First off, DAR is located out in the middle of nowhere. I was expecting to sit in a room with a dozen other people drinking wine from the local winery. But what we got were hundreds of people walking around a beautiful ranch drinking wine and mingling. They were even setting up for a wedding reception. My son had a wine flight and really enjoyed it. My wife had a delicious red wine and my daughter and I had the mimosas--delish! As we were getting ready to leave we watched as 25 people got off a bus, and to a person, they got off the bus and said something like "Wow! This place is beautiful!" Highly recommended!! read more

First off I will say that this is a beautiful winery! The pond and the shaded areas with tall trees were so peaceful. However I cannot believe that they are charging $26 for a flight. Extremely small pours and they add up to probably a standard glass of wine for $26? No way that's crazy. I also wish they would just pour all of the wines at the same time because we wanted to enjoy the wines outside so every time we were done we had to walk back into the tasting room to get our next pour and sometimes there was a long line of other customers. This method was just very inefficient and subtracted from the overall experience. By far the best wine I tried was their specialty red wine that was primarily a Tempranillo. Probably in my top 5 favorite red wines I've ever had. A lot of the other wines were simply just not impressive and the majority of the prices for a single glass of wine was around $16 which is very steep. Bottles were quite expensive too. It just made it very hard to enjoy the experience when it was hurting the wallet so much. read more

What a lovely vineyard!! Our absolute favorite in the Sedona area. So many shady spots to share a glass of wine. Beautiful lake, trees, and a cute farm with goats, sheep, and a donkey. They were VERY busy on the Saturday in April that I visited, so be ready for a line. You can't do a tasting flight without going back up to the counter for each pour (and the line) so we went for glasses. Really enjoyed their white wine, rose, and sangria. Cannot go wrong here and highly recommend! read more

Came here with my mom as she's visiting from out of town and has never been to Arizona. We figured wine-tasting in Sedona (or close to) would be a fun experience! Found this winery and was attracted to it because it's literally a ranch and you can see the grapevines outside - super pretty to look at even in the winter time. The inside of the lodge is super cozy and gives a "wild west" sort of vibe. When we went last weekend, they had decorated for Christmas and that was super cute! We came at noon and it was a little busy but not crazy, so we were able to get a table by the Christmas tree. The way it works is that you go up to the counter and order either a flight of 5 wines to try (a 1 oz pour), or a glass (or even bottle). There was a "reserve" flight and then a regular flight - we did the regular flight, which included 2 white wines, 1 rose, and 2 reds. The wines were good, but I would have preferred a heavier pour as 1 oz was barely two sips. Overall, I enjoyed this place and would probably come back for a special occasion, but for there are a few things I didn't like: - Instead of getting a flight of 5 pours at once and being able to enjoy them at your own pace at your table, you have to go up to the counter for refills every time, which is a bit annoying when you're having good conversations - I found the prices to be a bit high here - we paid $22 per flight, and $18 for one glass of wine read more

Also know that unlike Cottonwood tastings..you must go to the bar to have your glass refilled with new tasting. They don't come around.
