Itinerary
Escape to a hidden desert gem at Little Old Wine Drinkers Winery, nestled on six acres with over 4,000 vines along scenic Winery Row just off historic Route 66. This authentic family-owned vineyard offers a true "Earth to Bottle" experience—watch the winemaking journey unfold from bare earth to your glass. Meet the charismatic owners whose entertaining stories and warm hospitality make every visit feel like catching up with old friends. Sip signature wines like their famous "Pink Bikini" (Grape-Strawberry blend), along with Pinot Grigio, Tempranillo, Rosé of Zinfandel, and rich red blends. Relax in the tranquil outdoor seating area surrounded by lush grapevines with breathtaking mountain views as your backdrop—the perfect spot for savoring award-winning wines under the Arizona sun. Tour guests rave about this as a "diamond in the rough" and "laugh from start to finish" destination. Open daily 11am-5pm MST. Experience why visitors call it "amazing in such a hostile environment".
Visit Arizona's oldest craft distillery at Desert Diamond Distillery (D3), family-owned since 2008 and located at Kingman Airport off historic Route 66. This award-winning distillery has earned international acclaim, including a near-perfect score of 99 for their 11-year barrel reserve rum at the prestigious 2023 IWSC awards in London, ranking #1 in the rum category. Everything is 100% fermented, distilled, aged, and bottled on-site using a state-of-the-art German still. Sample their Gold Miner rum collection featuring white rum, dark rum, and the popular agave rum sweetened with agave nectar—perfect for sipping. Whiskey lovers can try corn whiskey moonshine, aged wheat whiskey, and the unique Rum & Rye collaboration. Tours include the production room and barrel room, taking 20-30 minutes. Enjoy tastings at the famous vintage bar rescued from the old Las Vegas strip—a favorite of the Rat Pack. Open daily except Tuesday and Wednesday.
Experience Kingman's original craft brewery at Black Bridge Brewery, established in August 2013 on historic Route 66's Beale Street. Locally known as B3, this beloved downtown microbrewery was named after a railroad bridge that served as a secret gathering spot for locals since the 1960s. The brewery has created an atmosphere blending art, music, and exceptional craft beer. Sample year-round favorites like Evil Red IPA, Wicked Poison, Locomotive Stout, and Scorched Earth—a ghost pepper-infused specialty that's become a local legend. With over 20 craft brews on tap, including seasonal offerings like Prickly Pear Pale Ale, there's something for every palate. Non-drinkers can enjoy signature handcrafted ginger beer or cold-brew coffee. The cozy taproom features a small interior bar and an expansive backyard patio with a redwood stage hosting live music most weekends. Though food isn't served on-site, neighboring restaurants deliver directly to your table.
Discover a hidden gem in historic downtown Kingman at Siren's Cafe & Custom Catering. This charming family-owned cafe, run by mother-daughter duo Carmella Hynes and Denise McMillan, has earned its place as #85 on Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in the US 2024. Known for its welcoming, home-like atmosphere, Siren's serves artisan sandwiches and Euro-style paninis made from scratch with fresh-baked Italian bread, homemade ricotta, artichoke spreads, and locally-sliced meats. Signature items include the Curry Tito (curry chicken salad with green apple, craisins, and cashews) and La Rocco panini. Chef Carmella, who studied cooking in Florence, Italy, creates daily specials featuring seasonal ingredients and award-winning homemade soups that locals rave about. Open Monday-Friday. Siren's offers a perfect lunch stop with seating inside their mermaid-themed dining room or on the patio next to the neighboring brewery.

Kevin, our tour guide, was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we drove through. Had a great time, would book again with this company.

It was really great. We sipped wine, and saw lots of of countryside. The driver was very friendly and gave us a lot of information
Brandon was an exceptional tour guide! We loved seeing hometown Kingman and Brandon’s knowledge of Kingman’s history. The small town winery, distillery, & brewery were awesome! We loved the tastings and took home some products too! The lunch was wonderful too!
Thank you so much for the fantastic review—and apologies for the delayed response! We’re thrilled you and your friends from Wisconsin had such a great time exploring Kingman with Brandon. His passion for the town’s history really shines, and it’s so rewarding to hear the wine, distillery, and brewery stops hit the mark (and sent you home with a few tasty souvenirs!). We’re glad the lunch rounded out the day just right. Thanks again for sharing your adventure with us! 🍷🏜️🍺
This tour was awesome and we had so much fun. The tour guide (Brandon) was very informative and knew a lot about the area. The two wine stops were just what we were looking for and the charcuterie boards at Red’s were so good along with the bruschetta. The brewery stop was a great way to end the tour. Brandon was very flexible with the length of the stops and it made for a very enjoyable day….and we made new friends too.
Thanks so much for the kind words and thoughtful review! It was such a pleasure having you on the Scenic Desert Tour. I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the wine tastings, the delicious bites at Red’s, and the brewery finale—it sounds like the day unfolded just the way we hoped it would for you. Brandon will be so glad to hear his flexibility and insights made an impact. And how great that you made some new friends along the way—that's the heart of small group travel. Better late than never—your review means a lot! Cheers to more adventures down the road. 🍷🍺🌵
Our guide Sue was AMAZING!! We had so much fun with her! She was very informative about the area and landscape, also about the plants we should stay away from. She didn't rush us from place to place, was very lay back and let us enjoy ourselves at each stop. By the end of the day, we all felt like we had found a new friend. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Thanks for making our stay so memorable. Katie Monfils and friends

Mike was a great tour guide. On time, very knowledgeable about the area, and it was a relaxing fun day. All stops are Mom & Pop businesses with excellent customer service. We were happy to be contributing to our local economy.
Thank you for taking the time to review your Desert Wonder Tours experience!
Wonderful trip across the NV-AZ line with Michael, the best driver and tour guide ever. As repeat visitors to Las Vegas we pack our stay with tours and shows and this year was no exception. This tour was superb and Michael went out of his way to make our experience memorable.
Thank you for your wonderful review of Desert Wonder Tours and our guide. We look forward to hosting you for another of our 8 fantastic tour options the next time you are in Las Vegas!
We had so much fun. The driver and tour guide Mike was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and knew the history. We went to a few places that had some of the best tasting wine and rum I have ever had. Highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for recommending the Desert Wonder Tour's Desert Winetasting and Spirits tour. Mike is an awesome guide!
Our favorite thing about the Wine Tours was that the wineries we visited were all family-owned businesses. Everyone we met was so accommodating, one of the places of business opened up for us on a Tuesday. Our tour guide, Michael gave us some background on the owners of the wineries before we stopped. Michael was full of knowledge about the area and some background about the wineries we stopped at. Michael didn't hesitate to answer any questions we had about the area and was very knowledgeable. We also toured Oatman Mining Camp the next day and was super pumped we had the same tour guide, Michael, whom we had the day before! Both tours were worth it!
Thank you for your review, and yes Desert Wonder Tours conscientiously and enthusiastically supports top quality local family-owned businesses. Thankfully, there are lots of excellent local choices, which is one reason that Desert Wonder Tours choose the Northwestern Arizona area!
