​
“This is the biggest celebration of Arizona wine in the state and this year marks a record number of both wineries in attendance and wines being poured,” said Brian Predmore, former president of the Arizona Wine Growers Association. “This is the AWGA’s largest event of the year and it’s wonderful to be able to share the story and evolution of the state’s wine industry with so many people.”​

Why?

A creative collaboration with AZBCA, and the Arizona Wine Growers Association, to highlight and promote independently owned local wineries and showcase their independent expertise.
