Cottonwood

Cottonwood sits in Arizona's Verde Valley wine country, and BarFinder's data shows it clearly - wineries make up nearly half of the city's 38 venues, well ahead of classic bars and sports bars. Real local tasting rooms like Merkin Vineyards Tasting Room & Osteria and Freitas Vineyard anchor that scene, while spots like The Copper Jackalope and The Public Taproom cover the more traditional bar side. It's a city where a night out is as likely to mean a vineyard tasting room as a classic dive bar.
