They do not have a huge tasting room down there though, so this location is Scottsdale is the only place to try their wines (unless you make an appointment at the vineyard in Pierce.) They run a very small operation but have been around for a while. My husband and I came here on a Saturday around 415pm and there was plenty of seating available. They offer indoor or outdoor seating. Parking is on the street, or in one of the nearby garages. There was also valet parking available on Saturday evening but not sure if thats always available during the week. We choose to sit inside at this cute corner nook area. Lots of fun wine decor everywhere. They had four wine flights to choose from and also offered glasses of specific wines. Food is also available for purchase. Michael was super nice and knowledgeable about everything. I choose the Volcanic Flavor Burst flight and my husband chose the Taste of LDV. We each shared our wines to taste more. Both of us loved the first wine from each flight, his being a white Viognier and mine a petite Syrah. We bought a bottle of each. Since we had dinner reservations, they held our wine for us and we came back to pick it up afterwards. We will be back and might even try to check out the vineyard down south.

Stopped by LDV Winery during the wine trail. Overall, it was just okay…read more The staff was friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated, and the vibe was decent relaxed but nothing that really stood out. The wines themselves weren't very impressive to me, especially the reds. They lacked depth and complexity and came across a bit flat compared to other spots on the trail. Drinkable, but nothing that really stood out or made me want to take a bottle home. With so many stronger wine stops in the area, this probably wouldn't be one I'd go back to.

On a Sunday fun day, we stopped by The Wine Collective of Scottsdale for some vino. Located in Old…read moreTown Scottsdale, this winery, while it doesn't have a parking lot, is surrounded by free street parking. I Ubered but I saw that there was a good amount of parking as I walked in. Ambiance (3.5/5): A small but homey winery. You're not in wine country, so you won't have scenic views, but it is a nice place to have some wine. We sat at some high tops close to the bar. Service (4/5): Friendly service. If you're doing a wine tasting, they'll tell you a little bit about each wine. Food (N/A): We were on a liquid diet during this visit. Drinks (4/5): The Wine Collective participates in the Scottsdale Wine Walk along with five other wineries in Old Town. You can get a passport at any of the locations for $5 and then you'll receive a discount off of flights at each. You also get a stamp upon completing your mission at each spot. They only had one passport left, so luckily I was able to start the challenge. They have several different flights, more than just your standard red or white, including one where they will customize the flight based on your preferences. Pretty awesome and not something I see at a lot of wineries. All of the wines we sampled were solid. I'd return! Now I just need to complete the Wine Walk. It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it!

Tracy is usually in the back of the little house, baking or putting another dish together. Never fail to find four or five delectable desserts to hold us over.

So I don't take it lightly when I say Tracy makes the best. And I've been around the Bakery Block a time or two. Light, flakey exteriors with whipped creamy insides. Muffins too.

Every class was hands-on, delicious, and incredibly well-organized. Chef Andrew and Chef Jenny were fantastic--knowledgeable, fun, and great at breaking things down in a way that made everything approachable, no matter your skill level. The recipes were thoughtfully chosen, the ingredients were high quality, and the end result? Always something I was proud (and excited) to eat. It's the perfect mix of learning and fun. Whether you're looking for a night out with friends, a date night, or just something new to try, I can't recommend this place enough. I'll definitely be back--again and again.

Very disappointing experience. The class did not match the description at all. The fillings were pre-prepared, we didn't make the dough, and we didn't prepare any sauces. Bao buns, which were listed, were not included at all. Our only hands-on activity was filling dumplings, and even those were cooked by the staff while we were already seated. Several participants asked about dough making and Bao buns, and the chef seemed unaware they were supposed to be part of the class. For $85 per person, this was not a true cooking class and we didn't learn anything new.
