The Grand Canyon State not only has one region where grapes are grown and wine is made, but three. These include the areas of Wilcox, Verde Valley, and Sonoita. Wine is a big deal in this state and there are more than 30 wineries to visit. So, if you’re looking for a small-town getaway in Arizona and want to do some wine tasting, we are taking you to Clarkdale. This small town is located in the heart of Verde Valley’s wine country and makes for a charming place to get away.

Located in North-Central Arizona in Yavapai County, the town of Clarkdale is in the heart of Verde Valley's wine country. It was founded in 1912 as a copper mining and smelting town. Today, visitors can enjoy the historic Spanish colonial architecture, visit wineries, and even take a scenic train ride.
