Clarkdale, AZ–Pop the cork! We’ve stocked the shelves of our new boutique, Whistlestop at Milepost 38,with Verde Canyon Railroad’s collection of private wines, with labels depicting different facets of our railroad. Railroad names such as All Aboard Chardonnay, Locomotive 1512 Cabernet, Engine, Engine Merlot, Route Red Pinot Noir and Escape Champagne make them the perfect souvenir or gift. If you’re not a wine drinker, our private-label beers are worth a trip to the depot.
Dave Durbano, owner of Verde Canyon Railroad,believes that life is about the journey. The quality of life’s journey is dependent on the experiences we have along the way and the attitude we develop with each segment of the journey. Our well-crafted wines, like a well-crafted life, feature lovely structure and substance. At Verde Canyon Railroad we believe in respectingnature, serving exceptional wine and enjoyinglife's journey.
Weibel Family Vineyards & Winery produces Verde Canyon Railroad’s wines, and owner Fred Weibel Jr. is proud of the journey his family has traveled. His grandfather came to California with a classic, old-world winemaking technique and tradition combined with a personal commitment to quality and excellence. Fred continues producing with those virtues, making him the perfect partner for Verde Canyon Railroad.
