If you’ve been to Cottonwood or Jerome in recent years, chances are you have fallen under Eric and Michelle Jurisin’s spell once or twice.
The couple owns The Haunted Group, which operates The Haunted Hamburger and Grapes in Jerome as well as Crema Craft Kitchen & Bar, Pizzeria Bocce, Nic’s, The Tavern Grill and The Tavern Hotel in Cottonwood. The brands, in partnership with locally owned tasting rooms and independent artisans, are working to put the two eclectic regions, which are separated by just a few miles and one iconic hill, on the tourism map, both for Arizona travelers and beyond.
