At the age of 28, wine enthusiast and stockbroker Robert Carlson was pondering a new direction in life. He saw an opportunity to invest in vineyard land in Willcox, Arizona which years later would be designated as an American Viticultural Area. What started out as a 40-acre parcel has now grown into a thriving family business spanning 320 acres. Robert oversees day to-day operations, including tasting rooms in Cottonwood, Old Town Scottsdale, and Willcox, where guests stock up on perennial favorites.
