Pahrump Valley Winery Day Trip From Las Vegas

Pahrump Valley Winery is about a 60-mile drive from the Las Vegas Strip. The winery is located in the Mojave desert and is Nevada’s only producing winery, although several small vineyards are scattered around the Silver State.

Out in the middle of the desert, you expect to find ghost towns, not a winery, but it’s here, along with a small vineyard. Pahrump Valley Wineries’ award-winning wines include a limited production of Nevada-grown, produced, and bottled wines.

Most of the grapes are shipped in from California or Oregon, with a small amount grown on-site in the desert vineyard. The winery produces, on average, about 10,000 cases of wine a year. It is just a tiny fraction of an average Napa Valley winery in Nevada, but this is the only winery where you can get wines grown in Nevada.
