Get ready to savor the best of the Southwest at the 25th Annual Camp Verde Pecan & Wine Festival on March 21–22, 2026. This landmark silver anniversary celebration brings the historic charm of downtown Camp Verde to life, pairing the region’s famous pecan harvest with the sophisticated notes of Arizona’s booming wine industry. Hosted by the Verde Valley Wine Consortium and the Town of Camp Verde, the two-day event offers a vibrant atmosphere where visitors can stroll through the historic district at 75 E. Hollamon St. while enjoying continuous live music and an array of local food trucks.
The heart of the festival features over 15 of the state’s premier wineries—including favorites like 1764 Vineyards, Alcantara Vineyards, and Arizona Stronghold Vineyards—pouring their newest releases by the glass, bottle, and case. While the event is FREE to attend, the energy reaches a fever pitch during the extremely competitive pecan pie contest, a beloved community tradition that honors the area’s agricultural roots. Whether you are a connoisseur looking for a new vintage or a family seeking a weekend of local culture, the festival provides the perfect spring getaway. Doors are open Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with wine tasting tickets available both online and at the entrance.
