Visiting Alcantare Vineyard, Staying at Verde Valley CG

When we left Sun Valley, Arizona heading to this Thousand Trails campground in Cottonwood, Arizona, the clouds were hiding the mountains.  I thought it was amazing.



Sometimes the scenery is breathtaking


Then when we got to the turn off  the main road to head into TT it was just a dirt road.  We weren't sure it was the right road and with a motor home hauling a trailer, you just don't want to go down any road. We turned and when we saw someone on the road, Ed stopped and flagged them to stop and asked if we were heading the right way.

The path leading back to the campground, it just didn't look like it was leading us anywhere


Next to TT there is a winery, so we thought we would go and check it out.  They said they had free wine tasting but we never found the person who was giving out the tastes so we skipped that part.  Neither of us are wine drinkers anyways.

We were both impressed with the winery.  It covered a lot of land.  Even on the hills they had grape vines growing. 




every layer was lined with rock, looked like a lot of work

This is where our rv park is


Inside the building we found interesting paintings and other things. 



table made out of a tree root


interesting what they do with tree roots


house made out of wine corks

I'm resting

in case you need a reason to drink wine


Ed found this painted on the inside of a satellite dish and I just had to include it.  LOL



We are enjoying our time staying here at this TT.

I already have two more things for the next blogs so hope you are enjoying our travels.  We are.

Bye for now,   Love  Ed and Lyn
