Activities

Strolling through this working vineyard is encouraged, and during your stay, you can purchase wine made from the grapes grown here. Eric Glomski, our owner and winegrower, spends the majority of the harvest season (August-October) at this vineyard overseeing the health and growth of the grapes.

As you wander our rural property, you may glimpse some local wildlife including canyon turkeys, foxes, deer, coatis, and over 375 different bird species. Nestled in the Chiricahua Mountains, The Colibri Vineyard is located in the largest sky island range in Southeastern Arizona, hosting bird species found nowhere else in the United States. At night, you can look up to see the milky way in our dark sky neighborhood.

With advance notice and booking, we can arrange a vineyard tour. Or during harvest season, you can book a Harvest Experience and join the vineyard crew in picking grapes.

While cooking at The Colibri house is our favorite thing to do, there’s a great food option driving distance away in Rodeo. It’s called Sky Island Grill and Grocery, a small provisional store with good tasting take away foods.

We’re in close driving proximity to the birding town of Portal which has amazing hikes and a great small town restaurant with inside and outside seating. Occasionally, the Portal Restaurant has outdoor live music shows!

Los Angeles, California

The Colibri House is a beautiful and well equipt space in a gorgeous and remote vineyard. It is the marriage of a rustic cabin and modern dwelling. One is surrounded by stone mountains, trees, and birds. Any cook will delight in the kitchen (regardless of electric stovetop), any writers can drink up the quiet, any birders do not have to go far as they will see birds right out the window, and any family can enjoy thier time together in this special place.

Some friends and I were lucky enough to find Gayle’s beautiful home for a birdwatching trip. The beds were extremely comfortable as were the couches. We loved the kitchen because it has everything you need to cook a good meal. The surrounding canyon area is teaming with wildlife- nesting birds, coatimundi etc… We enjoyed the wrap-around porch with deep shade to have breakfast and lunch. We saw an immature Cooper’s hawk flying during one breakfast. We would love to come back, especially because we want to taste some of the wine!

Tucson, Arizona

Beautiful home! The setting offers peaceful solitude and a gorgeous night sky! The beds were comfortable, kitchen well-stocked, and super-fast response from the host when we had a question.

Julia

Sedona, Arizona

The most magical part of our experience was hanging out on the covered porch (wine in hand) that overlooks the gardens, grapevines & mountains, we enjoyed birdwatching stargazing, and a chorus of crickets! At the end of our trip we could barely bring ourselves to leave! Rubbing elbows with the pristinely manicured vineyards juxtaposed against the rugged wilderness was nothing less than other-worldly.

David

Jericho, New York

This was one of the most unique and beautiful airbnbs we have stayed in. The house feels luxurious. The kitchen is stocked for a chef, the furnishings are beautiful and the setting is idyllic. You feel like you are the only person on earth, but there is satellite wifi and every amenity you can imagine. The night sky views are unreal. Wonderful experience!

Hannah

The whole experience was nothing but wonderful from the host communicating to the small touches around the house. I would stay here again, no questions asked.

Justine

Freehold, New Jersey

Our stay was unforgettable and we left feeling very refreshed. Since it’s right on the vineyard, we were surrounded by nature and spent as much time as possible out on the porch or walking around the vineyard.

Shelly

Tucson, Arizona

A piece of hidden paradise! The stars, the birds, the Mountain View’s, zero traffic noise and more! The vineyard was beautiful. The drive on the dirt road added to the adventure of being truly off grid!

About Colibri Vineyard

Colibri Vineyard, Chiricahua Mountains Arizona

Colibri Vineyard was planted in 2000 on the site of the old Morrow apple orchard located in Whitetail Canyon on the eastern flank of the Chiricahua Mountains. Located on north-facing slopes at an elevation of 5,200 feet, this is our coolest site and one of the highest elevation vineyards in the state. The rhyolitic (granite-like) soils here are unique in our portfolio and are reminiscent of the great Rhone site Hermitage. The soils and climate here combine to create the spiciest and most austere wines in our portfolio.

These slopes total 9 acres and are planted to:

  • Syrah clones 99, 174, and 474 on 110r and 1103p
  • Grenache 362 on 1103p
  • Grenache Tablas Clone on 1103p
  • Mourvèdre Clone 369 on 1103p
  • Counoise on 110r
  • Picpoul Blanc on 1103p
  • Gamay on its own roots
  • Roussanne on 1103p
  • Marsanne grafted onto older Viognier vines that were on 1103p
  • Mission from late 1800’s vines in New Mexico on their own roots
  • Petite Verdot on 110r
