A good wine bar should serve a wide spectrum of customers from neophytes to wine aficionados, and present an ambiance that will create a lasting impression. Here, in no particular order, are the top restaurants and bars in Scottsdale where you can sip, sample and savor your favorite varietals.
Kazimierz World Wine Bar
From the hidden back entrance and gourmet small plates to a wine list that’s thousands of labels long, this speakeasy is a wine lover’s paradise. Try a wine flight or let your server help you navigate the wine list and select the best wine for your palate.
FnB Restaurant
FnB’s front-of-the-house dynamo Pavle Milic believes strongly in drinking local wine with all the flavors of the local terroir. So it’s no surprise that this small culinary delight in downtown has a wine selection offering superior varietals and vintages produced in Arizona. Sure, Arizona wineries may not be as well-known as their Napa Valley cousins, but after tasting the delicious varietals, we think you’ll be delightfully surprised. If you’re feeling adventurous, try “Pavle’s Wine Blind Date” and let him choose one for you.
LDV Wine Gallery
Located in downtown Scottsdale, this is the chic tasting room for southern Arizona’s Lawrence Duhnam Vineyards. Sample LDV’s hand-crafted, estate-grown Rhone-varietal wines in the tasting room or on one of two shaded patios. Plates of “little bites” are available to savor with your tasting. You also can browse the works of Arizona artists in the gallery or shop for unique gifts, Arizona food products and, of course, LDV’s award-winning wine.
Su Vino Winery
Su Vino Winery in downtown Scottsdale offers a traditional winery setting but with a unique twist. Su Vino specializes in distinctive varietals and blends and can customize a glass of wine to anyone’s personal preference. How convenient is that? As you sip on your custom glass, enjoy it to the tunes of live jazz music. They also offer regular wine tastings and classes, which are ideal for wine lovers looking to broaden their knowledge of wine.
Aridus Wine Company
Also in downtown, the Aridus Wine Company tasting room offers award-winning wines from their family owned vineyard and winery in Willcox, Arizona. Since 2012, Aridus has become Arizona’s largest custom crush facility. At the height of production, the state-of-the-art can process upward of 700 tons of fruit. Utilizing the highest-quality red and white grape varietals, Aridus crafts its proprietary label that rivals the deep colors, rich aroma and complex flavors of the finest artisanal wines.
Olive & Ivy Restaurant + Marketplace
The lush waterfront patio at Olive & Ivy is a favorite spot to sip wine and bask in Scottsdale’s beautiful weather.
