Caduceus Cellars, Wine estate in Jerome, Arizona.
Caduceus Cellars is a winery in Jerome, Arizona, producing fourteen thousand cases each year from several vineyards across the Verde Valley and Willcox regions. The operation uses a converted building in Jerome as its cellar and tasting room, where guests sample wines from different Arizona sites.
The winery was founded by Maynard James Keenan, who converted an old building in Jerome into a production facility and tasting room. The transformation brought winemaking to a former mining town and combined artisan methods with the possibilities of the region.
The name comes from an ancient Greek symbol related to trade, while the vineyards grow European grape varieties such as Tempranillo, Nebbiolo, and Sangiovese. The harvest follows the natural cycles of the highland terrain, producing wines that visitors can try during tastings at the estate itself.
The tasting room opens daily throughout the year, giving guests a chance to sample wines from several Arizona sites. The location in Jerome combines a visit to the cellar with a walk through the hillside town at around 4900 feet (1500 meters) elevation.
The Judith Block vineyard sits at around 4900 feet (1500 meters) elevation and focuses on Italian grape varieties adapted to Arizona conditions. This altitude brings cool nights and moderates daytime heat, shaping how the grapes ripen.
