Date of visit: June 6, 2026…read more This was one of the visits on our Arizona Food Tour and while I don't drink wine (or anything, really) we had a lovely experience here at the Aridus Tasting Room in Old Town Scottsdale. Giovanni (or Gio for short) was a cute and wonderful host, explaining the various items on our tasting board--cleverly shaped like the state of Arizona, of course--as well as the various things he was serving my mom. Mom is by no means a wine connoisseur, and she definitely prefers the sweet wines over the dry ones. But she managed to find some things that she didn't mind during our stay. For me, the delicious cheese and salami was wonderful and while I didn't love the NA Aperol Spritz, I appreciated the opportunity to try it.

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! Bright and airy space to visit solo, on a date, or with a big group.

On a Sunday fun day, I stopped by Los Milics Vineyards about 45 minutes before close. Located in…read moreOld Town Scottsdale, I Ubered, but like all of Scottsdale, there's plenty of free street parking. You have to search around a bit at peak hours, but you'l find a spot. Ambiance (3.5/5): Los Milics is a pretty small winery. There's a small bar inside and a couple of tables. We sat at a table. Relatively chill for a winery, but I'm not complaining. Always a fan of a casual spot. Service (4/5): Good service overall. Our waitress told us a little bit about each wine and let us stay a bit after they closed. Food (N/A): We were on a liquid diet. To be honest, I'm not even sure if they serve food. Drinks (4/5): We went with a flight (mix of red and white). That's my go-to at wineries because it's a nice way to try a variety of wines. Los Milics also participates in the Scottsdale Wine Trail along with five other wineries in Old Town. You can purchase a passport from one of the six participants for $5 and then you get a discount at each spot. After redeeming it, you get a stamp in your passport. Two down, four to go!

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!

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.

I do this by using Wine Searcher and searching for producers I really enjoy that are a bit off the beaten path. One shop kept coming up in the results - Atlas. I browsed their selection, placed an order, and got an Uber out. The shop is pretty small, but exceptionally well curated. They have a pretty wide selection of wines from a variety of countries and having surveyed many other shops in the area, I can say unequivocally that Atlas has the best selection hands down. It's worth the 20 minute drive out from downtown Phoenix to visit this shop and as others have mentioned, plan to have dinner next door at the Bistro. It's BYO, reasonable corkage fee ($25/750ml), and the food is exceptional. Without a doubt the best meal we had in the area.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jack and Catherine, their expertise, and the way they…read morepresent their wines. Their education classes are amazing, engaging, and truly informative. They are some of the most personable and welcoming people you could meet. Jack, who helped design the space, did an incredible job. The establishment is absolutely beautiful, warm, and elegant. Catherine brings so much knowledge and experience to the wine education side, including her advanced sommelier training, and she makes every class feel special and approachable. Jack oversees the food, the daily operations, and the overall experience with professionalism, kindness, and humility. The caviar, cheeses, and food pairings are outstanding and thoughtfully matched to the wines. Their wine selection is exceptional, ranging from excellent everyday wines to exclusive and elite bottles. Everything is carefully stored in climate-controlled areas, which shows the level of care and quality they bring to every detail. I truly cannot speak more highly of them, their knowledge, their hospitality, and the beautiful experience they have created.

There is also seating at the counter by the register and then a couple of spaces for two people along the windows. There's a nice selection of wines from Italy, France, the US and a few from Australia, New Zealand, but very very few of those. They serve limited amounts of food, things such as olives, nuts, bread, and a couple of sandwiches and salads. It didn't appear anything was cooked or warm. Service was fantastic. They came over to the table numerous times to ask us if we had any questions, to take our order, to bring the wine, open it and then serve it until we finished the bottle. This is run by the same person that runs Jamie's wine bar at the Wrigley mansion.

I love that I get a written description of the cheese, the dairy, and things to pair it with. The wines have also been delicious. I so enjoy getting a written description of the winery, types of grapes used, tasting notes, and things to pair with the wine. I just went back today to get three more bottles of a french sparkling wine (that was in the wine club offering) that was so good I had to have more. Of course, while I was there I had to purchase some gorgeous bakery items. Every time I go, I ask for recommendations and I have been so happy with all the wines I have tried. What I like best is that I am trying new grape varieties, wines from regions I'm not familiar with, and wines from boutique vineyards.
