A day in Superior can consist of many adventures. A visit to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum, a hike on the Legends of Superior Trails, a meal at one of the several delicious restaurants, and maybe some unique shopping or specialized spa experience. Superior has an elevated adventure for everyone.
One of the signature activities in Superior is a visit to the Bruzzi Vineyard wine boutique in historic downtown. Located at the corner of Main Street and Magma Avenue at 14 N. Magma Ave., this hidden gem features Bruzzi Vineyard’s exclusive wines.
Bruzzi Vineyard grows vidal blanc grapes at their estate vineyard in Young. These grapes make a wonderfully crisp and bright white wine, which is Bruzzi Vineyard’s very popular signature product.
Their Mischievous rose, Devious red blend and Glamorous dessert wine are wonderful and delightfully fun. All Bruzzi Vineyard wines are world class and made in small quantities each year.
Visitors to the wine boutique can choose a flight of three wines from their wine list. It is a great way to learn more about wine. You also can enjoy a glass and take home bottles of Bruzzi Vineyard wine. They also have a retail selection of interesting local items.
The Bruzzi Vineyard estate vineyard is located in the remote enclave of Young in Gila County, about two hours from Superior. It is over a mile elevation, which is key to growing the cold weather vidal blanc grape.
The vineyard is hand tended and is the only commercial producer of vidal blanc in Arizona. A trip to the vineyard is a beautiful drive through nature with spectacular vistas. They host a variety of events throughout the year including their very special equinox and solstice events that feature local farm-to-table cuisine and Bruzzi wine pairings in a celebration of seasonal bounty.
James Bruzzi, owner of Bruzzi Vineyard, is a champion of local agriculture. He chose Superior as a location for a wine boutique due to the culture, natural beauty and growing activities and investments in the community.
Bruzzi Vineyard opened in Superior in 2020 and expanded to a larger location in 2022 to accommodate more customers and events.
Bruzzi Vineyard is well worth a visit in Superior or in Young. Reservations are highly encouraged at both locations and can be made on their website at www.BruzziVineyard.com.
