SUMMARY:Dwarf Cars & Dairy Days
DESCRIPTION:Dwarf Cars & Dairy Days April 23\, 2026 \n$135 \nIf you’ve traveled with us before\, you know our drivers are famous for their cow jokes—usually followed by a few groans. So naturally\, for this tour… we couldn’t resist. \nWhy don’t cows drive sports cars?\nBecause they find them hard to steer. \nWe’re heading south to revisit a Kindred Tours Mystery Tour favorite — the unforgettable Dwarf Car Museum in Maricopa. This hidden gem features fully drivable\, hand-built miniature classic cars crafted entirely from scratch. The attention to detail and creativity are remarkable\, and seeing these tiny classics up close makes you appreciate the craftsmanship even more. \nAfter our morning of small-scale horsepower\, we’ll enjoy an included lunch at Duke’s Roadhouse. Known for generous portions and relaxed Western charm\, Duke’s serves classic favorites in a welcoming setting — the perfect place to refuel before our afternoon adventure. \nNext we continue to Shamrock Farms in Stanfield for a guided tour of one of the Southwest’s largest family-owned dairies. Hop aboard the iconic cow-spotted tram to see the working farm in action\, learn how milk travels from farm to table\, and explore the interactive exhibits inside the Welcome Barn. You’ll even enjoy a complimentary sample of fresh Shamrock milk before we head home. \nFrom handcrafted miniature cars to hardworking dairy cows\, this day celebrates creativity\, craftsmanship\, and Arizona pride — all wrapped up in the signature fun and fellowship that makes Kindred Tours so special. \nAnd speaking of signature fun… share your best cow joke with Casey — if you can make him laugh\, your ice cream’s on us. \nDepart: NW 7:15 a.m. | Phx 7:30 a.m. | Scts 7:45 a.m. | Mesa 8:15 a.m.\nR: 6 p.m. \n\n     \n    \n    Please enable javascript in your browser to book\nCancellation Policy — ONE-DAY Van or Motorcoach Tours must be paid for when you make your reservation.

This rugged region\, known by cowboys as “the high lonesome\,” carries a fascinating past and some of the most dramatic scenery in the state. \nThe area became famous during the Pleasant Valley War of the 1880s\, an Arizona sheep war between two feuding families—the cattle-herding Grahams and the sheep-herding Tewksburys. Long before the feud\, the town of Young was established by William Young\, whose name the settlement still carries today. \nToday the drive to Young is celebrated as one of Arizona’s most scenic routes\, offering sweeping views of Roosevelt Lake\, winding mountain roads\, and the rugged beauty of the Sierra Ancha Mountains as the landscape transitions from desert to tall pine forest. \nIn addition to breathtaking scenery and fascinating history\, Young is home to the first winery in Gila County—Bruzzi Vineyard. Here we’ll relax and enjoy a flight of six wines paired with a hearty Italian-style sandwich lunch\, included. \nA beautiful scenic drive\, a touch of Arizona history\, and a charming hidden vineyard—it’s the perfect way to welcome spring in the high country. \nDepart: NW 8 a.m. | Phx 8:30 a.m. | Scts 8:45 a.m. | Mesa 9 a.m.R: 6 p.m. \n\n     \n    \n    Please enable javascript in your browser to book\nCancellation Policy — ONE-DAY Van or Motorcoach Tours must be paid for when you make your reservation.
