Los Milics Vineyards is located on 20 acres in the high grasslands of Southern Arizona with panoramic views of the Mustang Mountains. The distinctive domed formation of Mt. Bruce, the northernmost peak of the Mustangs, is known locally as “Mt. Bruce.” The vineyards honor it by naming its on-site restaurant The Biscuit.
