Our Family

Alcantara is a family-owned, local business that began in 2004. Winemaker Ron Brumley states “the rocky limestone, alluvial and clay soils with a large diurnal shift, and sunny climate in the Verde Valley is very similar to the wine making regions of France and Italy. We focus on regenerative viticultural practices and low intervention/natural wines.

Barbara Predmore

Owner

Barbara Predmore with her passion for wine, art, and family, wanted to grow grapes in Arizona back in 2002, when Alcantara LLC was establish. After 3 years of careful investigation of soils, climate, and different areas, she found the perfect land at the confluence of the Verde River and Oak Creek. A blend of three different parcels located in Yavapai County, she worked with the community to bring vineyards to Northern Arizona. Working with the other pioneers of Northern Arizona Wines (Eric Glomski, Rod Snapp, and Maynard James Keenan) to put Northern Arizona winemaking on the map.
