(Elgin, Arizona) — Los Milics Vineyards is a winner in the USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards2025 for Best Wine Tasting Room. For the third consecutive year, Los Milics tasting rooms were ranked among the top five best wine tasting rooms in the country.

“First of all, thank you to all our friends and supporters who voted for us,” said Pavle Milic, owner and winemaker. “A huge thank you to the panel of experts who recommended us again for this honor. It is so gratifying to know that our wine and wine tasting rooms have garnered this extraordinary recognition.”

 

“This is a big win for our team and a win for the entire Arizona wine industry,” said Mo Garfinkle, co-owner. “We’re grateful the voters of USA Today showed up again to support our wine and our tasting rooms. It is a huge honor to be in the top five wine tasting rooms in the country for three years in a row.”

 

Milic and Garfinkle began their partnership by purchasing 20 acres in the high desert of Southern Arizona for the estate vineyard in 2018. The pristine landscape inspired the architectural firm of Chen + Suchart, who became the architects for Los Milics Vineyards in Elgin. In addition to the contemporary tasting room, which opens onto a large patio for indoor/outdoor wine tastings, Chen + Suchart designed the winery’s production facility. Nine one-bedroom suite guest casitas are nestled within the estate vineyard, each with its own private patio and expansive views of the Mustang Mountains. In the evening, Los Milics serves dinner in The Biscuit, the tasting room restaurant.

 

In addition to the estate vineyard, Los Milics Vineyards operates a tasting room in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona. Both tasting rooms may be booked for private events and other occasions.

Nominees for the 2025 USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards were chosen by a panel of subject matter experts. The panel included a combination of editors from USA TODAY, editors from 10Best.com, and sources for both these media and other Gannett properties. The nominees were then voted on by the public.
