WHERE IN ARIZONA?
Elgin, is in Southeast Arizona
The Double R is situated, just northwest of the rugged Huachuca Mountains and the Coronado National Park. This region is renowned for its diverse “sky island” ecosystems, sweeping scenic vistas, and historic trails. Temperatures in the area run 10 – 15 degrees cooler than Tucson, the closest international airport.
The area is one of the most biologically diverse areas in North America. Up to 7,000 species of plants and animals live here, supported by the convergence of six different biotic regions. Many of these fall under the umbrella of the Coronado National Forest, which is celebrated as the most ecologically diverse national forest in the country. It is also the only area in the United States where you can find jaguars, ocelots, mountain lions, and bobcats all in the same macro-habitat.
The Elgin and Sonoita areas are also Arizona’s original wine country, sitting at a high-altitude elevation of 5,300 feet that provides the perfect terroir for rich Spanish, Italian, and French varietals. Many of the tasting rooms are clustered directly along Elgin Road, making it easy to hop between them.
