Most recently, I hosted some VIPs to Phoenix and we booked a wine walkabout tour back to back weeks. Booking was easy with Susan, she was able to get us scheduled quickly. Our tour was with Sharon -- she was the BEST. An absolute legend. She was hilarious, so fun, accommodating, and helpful. Each stop was unique and the wines were delicious. The snacks were great too! We will definitely book with Sip & Savor again. Highly recommend!

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!

She taught us not just how to cook, but how to prep, basic knife handling, and an interesting way to prepare garlic. The first part of the class we all sat with our recipes and watched Maggie in the kitchen while she explained everything. Then we split into groups of 2 and tackled one recipe for each group. When we were done, our reward was the amazing food we cooked! Every dish complimented the others spectacularly. I cannot wait to make these again at home. Thank you Maggie for a lovely evening!

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. My husband and I split one after dinner as Tracy doesn't skimp when it comes to portion sizes. If I had to pick one food group to live on the rest of my life, it would be baked goods. 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. Little French dessert things. Don't know what they are called but do know they are delicious.

They help you understand how the grapes are harvested, all the tasting notes, and offer fun facts when you're sitting at the bar. Such a fun tasting experience! They even comped our tasting with the purchase of two bottles of wine (we couldn't turn down this offer). We particularly loved their reds!

I enjoyed the first two. The third one was a Chardonnay and that one wasn't bad. However, my waitress disappeared and I never got my fourth glass of wine. Also, she did not bring me a fresh glass for each wine tasting which I thought was a little tacky. She also did not bring me any water to cleanse my pallet. I just think that if you are serving different wines, they should be served in separate glasses because the residue from one could affect the taste of the next period. I thought that was just common sense. Anyway, that was a bit of a turn off for me. Otherwise it's a cute place.

There were a few people in the tasting room but no one behind the bar. I was a bit turned off in the beginning due to a bit of a wait for help to arrive. Once she did arrive, she was chatty and knowledgeable about the wines, which definitely made up for our wait. We each had did a tasting: the lighter side of reds and big and bold reds. Our server was good about discussing the wines and flavor profiles. She also talked about her personal favorites in their collection. Even though the night was winding down and she was preparing to close, she was great about letting us each order a glass while she did her closing tasks. The wine was good, the atmosphere is inviting. I would come back but hope that there is no wait.
