Somehow I've been coming here forever and never wrote a review. Arizona Wine Collective is less "wine bar" and more community hub in the best way. I don't even drink and I'm here all the time for the events. Run clubs, post yoga hangs, ladies nights, you name it, they've probably hosted it. Always packed, always a vibe, and super LGBTQ friendly. They bring in local vendors constantly, hair tinsel, mini tattoos, permanent jewelry, press on nails, makeup, even pajama pop ups. It's like a rotating showcase of Tucson creatives and I love that. Bonus points for the stocked bathroom with a full freshen up moment. Being in St. Philip's Plaza doesn't hurt either, one of the prettiest spots in town. The owners get it, the energy is right, and whoever runs their events deserves a raise. I'll be back... again and again. read more

What an adorable place! I enjoyed a candle making class last week. They provide wine, snacks and everything you need to make a candle. If you don't drink wine you pay a discounted price and still enjoy the experience. Employees are super friendly. I ended up buying mesquite smoked caramel popcorn for $10.00 to take home. It wasn't good, caramel sticks to your teeth making it a very unpleasant experience read more

Went to Tucson on a whim with my mom in love and Hubs. We ended up wince tasting and had Ari as our host. She was amazing! We loved all of the wines that she selected for us. We tried some of the tester wines and hope they'll bring them back for more tastings. This place is really cute, there were vendors set up in the area around the winery when we first arrived. I highly read more

This place is so cozy and cute located in Saint Phillips Plaza. I came here to grab a glass of wine and ended up trying a flight because I could not decide which wine I wanted, which was a great suggestion that the bartender made for me. I ended up doing a white flight but skipped out on the Sweet white and went with a rosé and then they also had a bubbles option over all the wines were pretty good. My favorite was the Sauvignon Blanc. The bartender was very knowledgeable about the different grapes that were used to make the wine and I felt like she did a great job at making us feel welcome. I would love to come back here to try a red flight soon and then hopefully a glass of wine after I just didn't have time on this past visit this would be a super cute girls night or even a date night spot before or after dinner read more

Overall this was a really great experience. I enjoyed every bit of it. The sommelier was super friendly, supportive and informative. Someone who truly enjoys what they are doing. The space is lovely and a great spot for a casual experience but most definitely even better for more intimate elevated vibes. Plenty of wines to try including flight options, all of them are Arizona based. Check out their site for events like paint and sip nights or more. read more

The server was excellent, very hospitable and had knowledge of the correct order to serve the wines selected. The wines were top notch, of course, as we expected from Arizona wines. I did enjoy the selection of $6 glasses of wine they had available- it's a nice option if you don't want to try the tastings. Tastings are available in options of 3 or 5. Purchasing 2 bottles can cover the tasting price for the option of 3. They had valentine's charcuterie still which was a nice touch and we enjoyed it. We were the only guests inside for a while and it was a very calm, quiet, and nice vibe. They also have events available but I haven't attended events there yet. read more

What a great experience today. Did a Walk and Wine with a group of ladies and the business owner Michelle. I had never been in here and will for sure be back. The atmosphere is perfect for sampling wines and then choosing your favorite and enjoy a glass. Michelle is very knowledgeable about the wines they serve and wines in general. Check out their events or just grab a wine loving friend and head over there. read more

The woman working couldn't have been any nicer. She was helpful with making recommendations and nice to chat with. My mom sampled wines using my Tucson Foodie voucher and enjoyed all of the tastings. They sell local items like Popped popcorn and Tucson Chocolate goodies. You can even get a nut sack if you need one of those (see photos). There's quite a bit of seating inside and they also have a patio. Great place for a date or gathering with friends. read more

An amazing recent discovery. Came here for a Tucson Girlfriend's event and was really impressed with the local wine knowledge and general customer engagement. Prior to this visit I was not a fan of Arizona wines. Michelle, our wine specialist, tells me that I just hadn't been served the right ones. I don't normally drink white wines but I have recently been exploring since being here (California native here). I can't tell you what I drank but it was one of the most interesting and unique whites that I'd had since tasting a Jurançon back in 2005. It did have the word 'orange' in it. After telling Michelle that I leaned more toward heavy reds she then poured me THE BEST red wine I had ever had in AZ. I was sold on bringing a small snobby crew of wine enthusiasts who swear allegiance to California and Washington grapes. The store feels oddly like being in a cellar with windows, cool atmosphere and layout that reminds me of Bar Crisol across town. There's a small side room that you can rent out for private events, I'd venture to guess 12 max people. You can bring food but there is a small selection of typical wine accompaniment snacks available. The parking situation can be a little challenging on the weekends due to the outdoor market but not super terrible. Looking forward to returning and trying more of the wines now that my eyes have been opened to the curated possibilities. read more

I'd been wanting to check this place out for a while, I'm happy I finally stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. I really enjoyed my experience. The person behind the counter was very knowledgeable on all the wines they have. Very pleasant and bubbly. I really enjoyed her vibe. She recommended a few wines for tasting and she was on the nose with all of her assessments without guiding me toward a particular experience. I ended up purchasing a couple of bottles. The space itself is quaint and has a bit of rustic, desert charm. The patio is sufficiently covered for Tucson heat, if just a tad crowded. The inside has a bit of that rustic charm as well. They also have a couple of craft beers to check out. Overall, an excellent experience and I look forward to going back soon. read more

I love this place! The wines are very good and the wine-istas are very helpful! They know their wines and are absolutely lovely. Dave and Michelle are gems and the atmosphere has been so welcoming since they've taken over. They have an all Arizona selection of wine and with some prepackaged treats available, many of which are locally made: truffles, dark chocolate, different types of cheese, crackers & popcorn. If you're looking for a full meal, you can also bring outside food in. The menu rotates regularly & they have monthly events available. Def worth a try! read more

This is a great place to experience local Arizona wines with a chic, rustic vibe! I went for a wine tasting for New Year's and was greeted with such incredible staff that all had extensive knowledge about wine. The pairings were well selected and also from local businesses and made the price of the event well worth it! I highly recommend stopping by and I'm looking forward to the next time I pop in! read more

My book club came here on a Sunday afternoon and they had reserved a table for us and had brought our water pitchers and glasses. I also learned they have $6 wine specials, so definitely ask about them when you go. That's what I had and it was a wine I hadn't tried before. It's a great spot for book club because you're able to sit and chat while sipping wine or splitting a bottle with friends. They got our wine right away for us and would periodically check on us without interrupting the book discussion. Our book club will definitely be back! read more

I really try not to drag local businesses; times are tough for everyone, but people deserve to know what an absolute rip-off this place is. We live in the neighborhood and have stopped in before (more on that later), so the other day we swung by to grab a bottle of our go-to white, Dos Cabezas. It's an inexpensive, easy-to-find Arizona bottle that literally every wine bar, bottle shop, and grocery store in town sells for $25 or less. AZ Wine Collective's price? $40. For a to-go bottle. Not opened, not enjoyed there, just handed over in a bag. It's $22 across the street at Trader Joe's, and at other local wine bars/bottle shops, it's never over $25. Honestly, I should've known better after our first visit. We initially stopped in for a glass of wine because we love Arizona wines and were excited to support a neighborhood spot. Then we met the owner, who explained he bought the business after following his daughter to U of A while she attends college from the Midwest. He openly admitted he "thought it would be a fun business to have, but doesn't know much about wine." That checks out. One look at the tasting menu and it's painfully clear no one here is curating anything. If the owner doesn't know much about wine, who is training the staff? No one. It's clear they can only recite the tasting notes supplied by the wineries. And the charcuterie board? Imagine paying premium prices for the same cheese you could toss into your cart at Fry's. Nothing wrong with grocery store cheese, but if I'm paying wine bar prices, I hope for something a little more inspiring than pepper jack cubes. The vibe? Picture sipping wine... in a HomeGoods. Everything about this place screams "mustard is too spicy": the décor, the wine selection, the food, all of it. Ambiance? Haven't seen her. I'm sure there's a "It's wine o'clock somewhere" sign lurking about. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. Tucson has several fantastic wine bars that know what they're doing and won't charge you 40 bucks for a $22 bottle. read more

Always really enjoy getting to sample the wines here! We came for my birthday and got 2 flights, the staff was really great at explaining their selection and helping us pick wines that best fit our palates. read more

As someone who's been to wineries in California, Virginia, Spain, Italy, Austria, and many more places, I never expected Arizona to have such a burgeoning wine scene! And what's great about Arizona Wine Collective is they pull together several wines produced around the state into one tasting room. In the aforementioned wine regions you can cover dozens of wineries in a fairly short distance, but Arizona is a big ol' state with a lot of wineries quite far from one another. The staff here is so knowledgeable and aware of AZ producers and flavors that they'll help you customize a wine flight that you'll truly enjoy. Two of their featured wineries are Rune and Brigand, and we loved the pours we tasted from both. We tried several others too (when in Rome!) and weren't disappointed - they've done a nice job of curating. We really enjoyed the tasting room, the cool items in their shop, and I just can't say enough about their super kind and knowledgeable staff. Please drop by! read more

This is a wonderful little wine shop! Want to taste southern AZ wines but don't feel like driving south of Tucson? This is the place! Many wineries are represented. You can order a flight and taste the wines, purchase full glasses, or grab yourself a big old 750ml bottle (drink there or take home). Friendly Emma (server) knows her wines and has an amazing ability to identify wines by smell. Dave and Michelle (owners) are quite hospitable and warm. We felt so welcomed that we returned the next day for another round, buying plenty of wine bottles to take back home. AZ Wine Collective also offers delicious snacks and munchies to pair with your wine. Good location with a well-decorated interior. What a gem ! read more

I had a wine tasting and a glass of wine. I left to get some food and I had to cash out to do so, even though I offered to leave my debit card behind for the 15 minutes on-foot round trip to the burger place. Unfortunately it seems that when I came back it was the end of Elizabeth's shift (I'm quite sure that was her name) and this older woman dressed in all white took over. I understand you may reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who seems over-served but apparently having a naturally bubbly personality and talking a lot drives that impression. I've been waiting to order a glass of white wine (having tried the reds in the flight) and then I'd be done but she doesn't want to seem to serve me. She'd interrupt and talk about bringing me water and is generally treating me like a young brash drinker, not a 31 year old who makes touring wineries and wine bars in various states and amongst 13 countries her business of pleasure. I know how to handle myself and if I felt I was making a fool of myself, I'd pardon myself. But right now I don't look the fool. It's Arizona. It's dry, especially compared to the Midwest. Of course I'm drinking a ton of water, I'm thirsty - not necessarily drunk and trying to recover. I am definitely done with the dry personalities out here, though the lack of humidity might explain that too. I'm kind of done waiting. I'm sober now and I guess I'll just drive back to my hotel. They serve wine too, local wines even....what a shame. And for the record, just because I don't look as posh as some of your clientele doesn't mean that I don't have more money than them. For them, this is a special night out. And for me, this is just a day of the week. Maybe keep that in mind when dealing with people. I'd like to add that I was there for around 3 hours for my equivalent 2 glasses of wine, it's not like I was off my "rear-end." Maybe you treating customers with some respect instead of using demeaning terms that imply I'm younger than I am when serving me my water while I'm eating would do you well. If I'd known that's how you were going to treat me, I would've just eaten at that other restaurant and not gotten takeout to come eat at your random establishment and drink water. Response: Considering there's at least 6 restaurants within walking distance that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. And yeah, you know what? After 2 glasses a wine. I shouldn't drive especially when I had an eaten since 11 AM and it was now 5 PM. Once I had that Burger and fries. I was fine. I just needed to eat, girl. And I have to question if you would have thought this had I not made the statement about not driving but to be fair, Tucson is a terrible city to drive in anyways so being sober has little to do with it. Not to mention that your colleague who served me in the first place is the one who recommended that I order food AS TAKEOUT so I could continue to drink it this establishment. Had she not recommended that I wouldn't have done that (seriously WHY would I? I'm so confused by this from you). Yeah, no, that's actually not typical to have to cash out to leave an establishment, believe it or not, a lot of places are actually quite trusting. It's fine if you aren't, but don't make that seem like that's a normal thing. Like I get why you wanted it, but it favored me in the end because I didn't have to wait for you to stop ignoring me to leave. I also attempted to order something else multiple times and you kept interrupting me. Get your story straight, especially the part where you quote me saying "I'm sober." It's a wine bar, nobody is sober. That's the point and that's (normally) all people would receive from a wine bar. Lucky me, all I got from you was tap water. My hotel had no problems serving me, so they got the money instead and you got a negative review. Hope it was worth it read more

Arizona Wine Collective is one of my Favorite places, and only of the only places to try Arizona wines! You can head in for tastings, glasses, and purchase bottles as well. My favorite thing to do it meet friends for delicious glasses of wine and chat about life. We head out to the patio and sit next to the fire pit. It's perfect during the winter and spring but definitely head inside once it gets hot! . I ordered two glasses of Cabernet franc and am so happy to have found it there. If you are wanting to try Arizona wines, this is one of the best ways to do it. Hop on in and tell them I sent you! read more

Went for the first time with my husband as we heard they were hosting a fundraiser for PAWSitively cats, an amazing local organization who helps cats. This is a very cute spot in St. Phillips Plaza, with lots of comfortable seating inside and a very cute outdoor patio. We were immediately greeted by the bartenders who were very friendly and helpful. Their menu is full of Arizona wines from various parts of the State. When I advised of my preferences they made an excellent recommendation, and let me know I could make a donation to the cat rescue with my purchase as well. They also had a special where I could taste 3 premium Arizona wines with vegan friendly hors d'oeuvres for $25, with $13 going to the cats. In addition, 10% of the cost of all full bottles purchased would be donated to PAWSitively cats. I had a glass of Sweet Adeline, a Willcox riesling, which was amazing. Loved the warm, open and friendly environment. They allowed me to try a couple of other wines to make sure I loved the wine. I purchased 4 bottles, and a special bottle, Arizona La Osa, from Callaghan vineyards, a Grenache, aged for 18 months, which was also amazing. They have various events and fundraisers and have classes for people interested in learning more about wine, with the next one taking place on New Years Eve. Love to see when a business supports a great cause, and definitely plan to be back to support this amazing spot. read more

Arizona wineries produce some decent wine, and you can find many of them here. You can do a tasting, buy a glass or 2, and bottles. They also have snacks like meat, cheese, dips. Feel free to bring your own food too. The owners are very knowledgeable and can help you find a wine that fits your taste. I joined the wine club earlier this year and every quarter I get 3 bottles. It's a great way to try something new. read more

Wine and wine bars can be so easily stereotyped as being stuffy, boring, and all sorts of "makes me sleepy", and this place does nothing to help refute that argument. With the Arizona wine story still in its adolescence, being written by trailblazers and entrepreneurs, it's a shame that a place like this is the best representation most of those vineyards have. The ambience is lacking, but tries harder than the energy of the staff. If you order a charcuterie board, be forewarned that they will literally pull a Boar's Head pre-packaged Lunchable out of the fridge and make you plate it yourself (for $18). I think I could honestly have more fun at a library. read more

The wines, the location, the service.. everything is AMAZING! The $10 tastings are perfect pours and the sunset views are hard to beat from the patio. Love that you can bring your own cheeses/crackers, they'll bring a cutting board and a knife out for you to enjoy them. If you don't bring anything, not to worry! They have plenty of cheeses and small snacks to much on. I also frequently pick up a pizza from Proof across the plaza and eat it at Arizona Wine Collective! read more

This is exactly what Tucson needed! The collection of wines offered is pretty diverse, but they are limited on the sweeter options that they have available. The flights are reasonably priced and they are knowledgeable about the wines and what you might like based on your personal preference! They have snack boxes available as well as beers in case wine isn't your thing. The patio is beautiful and inside also has a wonderful ambiance. Highly recommend for an evening spent catching up with friends! read more

Love Arizona Wine Collective. They've got a nice outdoor patio, indoor seating, and a room you can rent out for private parties. We like doing a tasting (3 for $12) and having a glass of wine on their patio. The pours are good and the staff is very knowledgeable on AZ wine. I also try to stop by for a local bottle as a hostess gift. We have also been wine club members for over a year. There are 3 options - red, white, or mixed. I do the mixed because I like it all! It's a great way to continue to support local. The benefits are great too - you get 2 free tastings a quarter and 10% off bottle purchases. Highly recommend joining! read more

I love that Arizona Wine Collective is right alongside the river walk. I really enjoy going on walk with a friend and then finishing it off with a glass of wine.

Plus, the wait staff are happy to help with your selection! read more

What a beautiful tasting room this is. We stumbled on to Arizona Wine Collective and we are so glad that we did. Pete, the owner along with his wife have created a tasting room to explore all Arizona Wines that you couldn't taste here in Tucson otherwise. We were welcomed the moment we walked in which is always very important to me being a business owner myself. Arizona Wine Collective is like no other tasting room here in Tucson. Not only is Pete personable and knowledgeable about the wines he presents, the wines are of good quality. They also have beer to taste for those who are not so crazy about wine. These guys get it! They pick the best of the best to have their guests to taste. The tasting list changes every couple of days which makes it another reason to visit again and again. They even have a private room to reserve to bring 15 to 20 of your closet friends to enjoy. They also have a menu from Reforma and Union if you'd like to order food and it gets delivered to you! How amazing is that!!??? I love how businesses and the wineries come together to help each other to succeed. That's a type of place I love to support. I wish nothing but success to Arizona Wine Collective. My husband and I very much enjoyed our visit and I will definitely be bringing my friends. Go taste some wine and have some beer here. I promise it's for everyone. If you don't know a lick of wine or beer, they will educate you without pretension. Support your local businesses!!!! This one is epic! read more

Being a wine lover, I think this place is great! I love the changing variety of wines, and being able to try 3-5 in a tasting, at a time! Zack is AWESOME! We really enjoy his knowledge of wine on the list, and the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. I think the tastings are a little pricy, but I'll keep paying because they do cycle through different wines, and I like having that available in little no-wine Tucson. The place is always clean, and always quiet, and I really enjoy that! read more

My friend and I went here this past week, my second time and she had never been. Zach warmly greeted us as we walked in. He asked if we'd been in, and my friend said she hadn't so he explained a little about the business and what they are all about. Zach was very knowledgeable and able to answer the many questions we asked him! I want to give a shout out to him for doing a great job. I honestly love this little place, the interior is warm and welcoming. The patio is beautiful! They have a fairly good selection of AZ wines to choose from. Great service. Some snacks are available and if you want more than a snack, some of the restaurants in the plaza will deliver!!! Therefore, you can have the food you want with the wine you enjoy. I would recommend trying this for a date night!! Or if you're too busy to make it down to the Sonoita or Wilcox wineries, this is a fun alternative. The one suggestion I have, because it's my personal preference, I would love to see more wines from the Cottonwood area! read more

To make it better, the restaurants in St. Phillips Plaza deliver to Arizona Wine Collective! And, you can buy bottles of what you enjoyed during your adventure!
