Arizona's Holiday Wine Trail Gets More Charming Year After Year

By Katie Lawrence | Published December 07, 2018

Hot chocolate might be the signature holiday beverage, but one Arizona city has decided to put a grown-up spin on a classic tradition. Whether you prefer wine or beer, this boozy holiday trail has something for everyone. Bottoms up and Merry Christmas!

Scottsdazzle is a magical month-long celebration complete with lights, entertainment, and festivities. Perhaps the most underrated event is the Santa Wine Around & Ale Trail taking place on Saturday, December 15.

There are four different tasting rooms that make up the Wine Around route.

Aridus Wine Company uses only the finest grapes and most cutting-edge equipment to produce rich, robust pours. Sip your glass amidst garland and wreaths to truly feel the Christmas magic.

You'll also be supporting new businesses. LDV Winery just opened a few months ago and has already received rave reviews!

The Ale Trail features seven of Scottsdale's best breweries.

Goldwater Brewing Company hosts a Holiday Courtyard Block Party you won't want to miss. Specialty beers, a Maine lobster food truck, and photos with Santa are guaranteed to put you in the Christmas spirit.

This brewery doubles as a coffee shop, so those who choose to remain sober won't be left out! For everyone else, select pints will be $3 off.

Nothing compliments booze like greasy carbs. Pretzels with beer cheese are only $6 for trail participants!

Come dressed in your finest holiday attire to take advantage of special discounts! Each stop will be offering three 1 oz. pours for just $8, as well as other deals to all the Santas, Mrs. Clauses, and elves who stop by.

Scottsdale's free trolley will be available to shuttle you from one stop to the next. No need for a designated driver!

The event takes place on Saturday, December 15 from 5 to 9 p.m. Participants of both trails will receive a commemorative pint or wine glass too!
