Views
4,500 feet above sea level · High Lonesome Road · Cochise County, Arizona
One of the most scenic spots in southern Arizona — and it's right outside our tasting room door.
Sitting at roughly 4,500 feet on the high plains of Cochise County, Hofmann Vineyards is surrounded by some of the most dramatic natural scenery in the American Southwest. The wide open skies, the ring of mountain ranges on every horizon, and the clean high-desert air make every visit feel like a world apart.
Sunrise
The sun rises over the Dragoon and Chiricahua mountain ranges, painting the sky in deep golds and reds. Early risers camping in the vineyard are treated to a show that no alarm clock can ruin.
Sunset
Evenings on High Lonesome Road are something special. The sun drops behind the mountains to the west and the sky turns every shade of orange, pink, and purple — best enjoyed from the patio with a glass of Dornfelder.
The Vineyard
Rows of Northern European grape varieties stretch across the property, framed by the mountains of Cochise County. The high elevation and dry climate stress the vines just enough to concentrate the flavors that end up in your glass.
Sandhill Cranes
Every late November, tens of thousands of Sandhill Cranes return to the Whitewater Draw Nature Reserve — just five miles from the winery. The sight and sound of the flocks coming in to roost at dusk is one of the great wildlife spectacles of the Southwest.
Night Sky
Far from city lights, the skies above High Lonesome Road are genuinely dark. Dry campers parked in the vineyard are treated to a canopy of stars that reminds you just how far off the beaten path you really are.
