They do not have a huge tasting room down there though, so this location is Scottsdale is the only place to try their wines (unless you make an appointment at the vineyard in Pierce.) They run a very small operation but have been around for a while. My husband and I came here on a Saturday around 415pm and there was plenty of seating available. They offer indoor or outdoor seating. Parking is on the street, or in one of the nearby garages. There was also valet parking available on Saturday evening but not sure if thats always available during the week. We choose to sit inside at this cute corner nook area. Lots of fun wine decor everywhere. They had four wine flights to choose from and also offered glasses of specific wines. Food is also available for purchase. Michael was super nice and knowledgeable about everything. I choose the Volcanic Flavor Burst flight and my husband chose the Taste of LDV. We each shared our wines to taste more. Both of us loved the first wine from each flight, his being a white Viognier and mine a petite Syrah. We bought a bottle of each. Since we had dinner reservations, they held our wine for us and we came back to pick it up afterwards. We will be back and might even try to check out the vineyard down south.

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.

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!

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!

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.

The staff was top tier knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole experience feel elevated. The wine? Across the board. Smooth, flavorful, and actually memorable we didn't just taste, we left with bottles, which says everything. The real sleeper hit though... the cab-infused cheese. That was next level. Rich, bold, and paired perfectly with the wine easily one of the best pairings we had all day. This is the spot that sets the standard. If you're doing the wine trail, this is a MUST.

The tastings come with 5 different wines, and typically you can swap out a wine if you don't like something on the menu.

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 understand the situation and the politics behind what has been going on there as well. You're about to drive that business into the ground in the event you don't get consultation on building the business in your current space.

Unfortunately, during our tour today, we couldn't go to Page Springs or the other wineries in Cornville due to the fire that started midday today but the Cottonwood backup plan worked out great! The first stop, Alcantera in Camp Verde was a nice gem. I had never heard of them before and it was a good start to the tour. Lunch at Farm Go Go Cafe in Cornville was insanely delicious! Farm fresh ingredients. Everything that's included in the experience is wild: the ride to and from NAZ, the wine tastings AND lunch. She provided snacks and water in the vehicle as well. I 100% recommend people try this out as a fun day trip with friends or even as a romantic day date. I can't wait to see her business grow when she's able to take groups bigger than three/four. I would do this again and try out her brewery tour next time.
