Arizona’s event season is here, and that means cooler evenings, patio weather, and some of the state’s most anticipated art and wine festivals. From Scottsdale to Willcox Wine Country, these gatherings bring together award-winning wineries, nationally renowned artists, live music, and plenty of local flavor.
Hosted by Arizona Wine Events, Vermillion Promotions, and Willcox Wine Country, each festival offers something unique — but all promise great wine, stunning art, and vibrant community energy.
Here’s a look at what’s coming up:
Set in Arizona’s largest wine-growing region, this two-day celebration features tastings from local wineries, food trucks, 50+ artisans, and live music — all in the heart of Willcox. A can’t-miss for wine lovers.
Head to Gilbert for an expanded two-day, open-air event with 100+ juried artists, award-winning wines, local breweries, family activities, and gourmet eats.
Sip and stroll through Kierland Commons in Scottsdale while enjoying Arizona wines, national artists, cooking demos from Sur La Table, and live art exhibitions in a luxury outdoor setting.
Part of the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships, this high-energy festival pairs fine art from 100 artists with tastings from 20 wineries, live music, interactive art, luxury vendors, and gourmet food.
Now in its 16th year, this Cave Creek favorite brings together regional artists, Arizona wineries, patio dining, and live music against the backdrop of desert views.
Ring in the holidays at the historic Wigwam Resort in Litchfield Park. Guests can enjoy wine tastings while strolling through art displays and the resort’s dazzling holiday decorations.
“The Arizona wine industry is bigger than ever, but since many wineries don’t have tasting rooms nearby, festivals like these are one of the best ways for people to discover and connect,” said Mike Pigford, owner of Arizona Wine Events.
Each festival also gives back, with proceeds benefiting Robinson Ranch, a nonprofit providing equine-assisted therapy for children and adults in need.
Entry to all festivals is free.
Wine tasting tickets: $20–$35 in advance | $30–$45 day-of.
Every ticket includes a commemorative glass + tasting tickets.
Extra tasting tickets: $10 for 5.
Tickets available at willcoxwinecountry.org or vermillionpromotions.com.
