Amado, where we are located only 30 minutes south of the Tucson Airport, is a tiny town - barely a town, really, famous for the Longhorn restaurant.
Tubac, only 5 minutes south of the farm, is a small, quaint artist community rich in history and full of great shops, art galleries, restaurants and museums for your guests to enjoy - perfect destination wedding town!
Mexico is only 30 minutes south and is worth the trip if only to dine at our fav spot - La Roca!
The are also many recreational opportunities including hiking, bird watching and golf.
