Discover more about The Original Jerome Winery

Located in the heart of Jerome, Arizona, The Original Jerome Winery provides an enchanting destination steeped in the town's rich mining history and vibrant arts scene. Founded in 2001 by John McLoughlin, the winery stands as a testament to Arizona's potential in winemaking. McLoughlin, who began planting his Dragoon Mountain Vineyard in Willcox in 2001, believed that Arizona was the best-kept secret in the wine industry. The winery is housed in a historic building that once served as the town's telegraph office, exuding a charming, rustic atmosphere with its original stone walls and hardwood floors. Inside, visitors can explore the inviting tasting room, where friendly staff guide them through a diverse selection of wines, from robust reds to crisp whites. Each wine tells a story of the region's terroir and the craftsmanship that goes into every bottle. The winery also features a delightful gift shop filled with wine-related merchandise. Jerome itself, once known as the "Wickedest Town in the West" due to its mining past, has transformed into a thriving tourist and artist hub. The town's history is closely tied to copper mining, with its fortunes rising and falling with the success of the mines. Today, visitors can explore art galleries, restaurants, and historic sites, all while enjoying the stunning views of the Verde Valley.
