AZ POCA and the F.I.A.T. clubs are teaming up for our annual Wine Country Cruise to be held on Saturday 19 November 2016. If you have been on this cruise before you know it is a lot of fun.

It's also a great way to get a nice bottle of wine for your holiday table or as a gift for someone in celebration of the upcoming holidays! The current weather forecast for Sonoita and Elgin looks just about perfect for this event with a cool morning and a balmy afternoon.

PLAN:

09:00 AM - Breakfast meet-up at Vail Steak House & Diner
10:00 AM - Depart for Sonoita
10:45 AM - Regroup at Sonoita Junction (gas station at intersection of AZ-82 & AZ-83). Meet-up with other members, top-off fuel if necessary.
11:00 AM - Head to our first winery - Callaghan Vineyards.
12:00 Noon - Depart for our second winery - Sonoita Vineyards - where we will also have lunch.
02:00 PM - Depart for our third winery - Four Monkey Winery & Distillery. Participants can choose to sample wine OR distilled spirits.
03:30 PM - Depart for Sonoita Junction.
03:15 PM - Regroup at Sonoita Junction - coffee & rest stop at The Steak Out. (This is optional for participants.)
04:00 PM - Disperse for home.
