Arizona has been emerging as a growing viticultural and and University of Arizona has published its first report detailing the extent of the industry.

Based on voluntary submissions, approximately 703.5 acres of wine grapes were planted statewide in 2025. Of this total, 532.2 acres were harvested, while 171.3 acres were planted but not harvested. Unharvested acreage reflects newly planted vineyards, blocks that experienced damage, and acreage intentionally not harvested due to management decisions, including limited market demand. Among the 67 vineyard locations reporting in 2025, vineyard size ranged from 0.59 acres to 58.97 acres.

Some 19 vineyards are two to five acres in size. That's the largest number in the Arizona report. followed by 15 that are five to 10 acres. Third place is ties between 11 vineyards up to two acres and 11 acres that are 10 to 20 acres. Nine vineyards are 20-40 acres in size and only two exceed 40 acres.

Total reported production for the 2025 harvest was approximately 1,187 tons. Of this total, 722.2 tons were retained for growers’ own wine production, 417.4 tons were sold, and a small portion was reported as harvested and not utilized. Fruit movement varied significantly by region; while Verde Valley producers retained over 92% of their crop for their own production,

Cochise County growers served as the primary market source, supplying over 80% of the state's total volume of grapes sold to other winemakers. As this is the first year of reporting, these data represent a single-year snapshot; future reports will enable year-over-year comparison.

Red grape varieties accounted for approximately 500.3 planted acres (71%) and 800.5 harvested tons, while white varieties represented 203.2 planted acres (29%) and 339.1 harvested tons in 2025. In total, 76 distinct grape varieties were reported by growers in 2025. Reflecting the diversity of Arizona's viticulture, growers reported an average of 7 distinct varieties per vineyard, with individual portfolios ranging from a single variety to as many as 28.

For grapes sold during the 2025 season, reported prices are presented as a weighted average. A total of 417.4 tons were sold at an average price of $2,404.54 per ton, with reported prices ranging from $900 to $3,920 per ton across varieties and regions.
