It’s time to mark your calendars and get ready to sip and savor Arizona’s vibrant wine and art scene! With festivals from Wilcox to Scottsdale, these events promise award-winning local wines, nationally renowned artists, live entertainment and gourmet food vendors.
“The wine industry has grown so much in the past decade, but many wineries don’t have nearby tasting rooms and rely on festivals to get in front of local wine lovers,” Mark Pigford, owner of Arizona Wine Events, said. “We’re excited to raise awareness for the industry and partner with Vermillion Promotions to bring nationally recognized artists to Arizona.”
