OUR STORY
A passion project of wine...and swords
Skyhaven began as a noble quest in Chris Brinkmeyer’s mind, fueled by his award-winning winemaking skills. Then came Bridget Hildebrand, a marketer and world traveler with a shared passion for wine, castles, and epic adventures — a perfect pairing! ​
In 2022 A.D., Skyhaven took shape in earnest — a vineyard forged with passion, artisanry, and a touch of medieval magic. From the first vine to the dream of a true wine-lover’s sanctuary, the journey began.
And so, the legend of Skyhaven unfolds… one vine, and one bottle at a time.
ABOUT SKYHAVEN
At Skyhaven, we believe wine is more than just a beverage — it’s an experience. Rooted in wonder, sustainability, and community, we aim to craft exceptional Arizona wines while being stewards of the land and creating a place where every visitor feels at home.
Our mission is to bring Arizona’s premier wines to the world, showcasing the unique terroir and untapped potential of this incredible region. We are dedicated to sustainable vineyard practices and cultivate varietals that offer something for everyone.
Beyond the wine, we want Skyhaven to be an immersive experience where storytelling, environment, and quality wine come together. We envision themed wine encounters and a picturesque destination with cottages, a café, and peaceful picnic spots. We are building a vineyard oasis where every visit lingers in memory long after the last sip.
Whether you're here for the wine, the adventure, or the tranquility, Skyhaven welcomes you to be part of something extraordinary.
DRINK LOCAL!
Our vineyard is a true labor of love, owned and operated entirely by the two of us. We do the work ourselves—from tending the vines to crafting each bottle—because this isn’t just a business, it’s a deeply personal dream we’ve committed to building from the ground up. When you visit or enjoy our wines, you’re engaging directly with the people behind every decision, every harvest, and every pour.
We’re proud to be part of a dedicated community of small, independent wineries here in Arizona—each of us working with intention and care, far from the world of mass production and corporate wine. We encourage you to drink local, wherever you are. Supporting small producers sustains the heart and soul of winemaking, and we’re honored to be part of that tradition.
