Javelina Leap

What Javelina Leap does

Javelina Leap Vineyard & Winery is a second-generation, family-owned boutique winery located in Page Springs/Cornville, Arizona, in the Verde Valley approximately 3,800 feet above sea level on the volcanic slopes of House Mountain overlooking Oak Creek. The company was founded by Rod and Cynthia Snapp in 2003 under one of the first ten Arizona winery licenses, and is now operationally led by second-generation Head Winemaker and General Manager Lucas Reed and Wine Club Coordinator Kim Reed. The estate consists of 10¼ acres of vineyard in Page Springs supplemented by the Hassayampa vineyard outside Prescott and contracted growers, producing approximately 44 tons of 100% Arizona-grown grapes per year, or about 2,600 cases of wine, with on-site 100-barrel cellar capacity.

The product portfolio spans white varietals (Pinot Grigio, Malvasia, Riesling, Chenin Blanc), red varietals (Merlot, Barbera, Tempranillo, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese, Syrah, Petite Sirah), proprietary blends (Prospector's Blend, Coulee Cuvee, Monsoon Crush, Red Canyon Cuvee, Rockslide), and a méthode champenoise Legacy Sparkling Rosé. The winery has accumulated 100+ medals across regional, national, and international competitions including multiple #1 varietal rankings in Arizona. Notably, sparkling production requires hand-riddling on site, and vineyard operations employ sustainable practices designed to protect the adjacent Oak Creek riparian ecosystem.

The business model is purely direct-to-consumer, with no wholesale or distributor channel. Revenue is generated from five streams: walk-in tasting room sales at $24 per flight of five wines, online bottle sales priced $39-$115, a four-tier Estate Wine Club with quarterly or bi-annual allocations, private event venue rentals across three spaces starting at $1,000, and $95-per-person private winemaker-led tours. The company ships to eight US states (AZ, CA, CO, FL, IN, MN, MT, TX), with summer shipment holds for temperature control. The customer base is fragmented across wine enthusiasts, Verde Valley and Sedona tourists, event clients, and wine-club members, with no enterprise or institutional customers and no external capital.
