Desert Rock Winery & Distillery

Are you kidding me. This is hands down the best place, period. Let me explain. So I walked 10 minutes (yes up hill both ways) in 117 degree weather with a small chance it would be open on 4th of July (it was closed and that's on me), while family was shopping close by.So of course, I had to go back two days later to check this place out as they have tremendous reviews (getting anything above a 4 star is a win on Yelp...believe you, me).So you walk in and it's packed (good sign). Owner (Shannon) welcomes me with open arms and introduces me to the most pleasant and kind couple you can imagine. Wine gets poured and these wine are fantastic. I'm biased because I've had way too many wine from California (where I'm from). Find out Paul (wine maker)/owner) gets grapes from Sonoma (where they are from prior to moving to Scottsdale). Genius. The wine taste mature, complex and just wonderful. This is the best wine place (I visited 5) I have been to in the last 3 days. Yes, I'm a professional "wino". You have to stop by and visit. It will not disappoint. Guaranteed.

Such an amazing time at this tasting room. Service and drinks were 10/10. They also played great rock music. It was incredible to learn how they flavor their liqueur without adding sugar. I personally enjoyed the wine. We loved it so much we wanted to return the next day. I will be back when I am in the Scottsdale area again.

Phenomenal wine! All custom blended on site. Plenty of food choices nearby to have delivered. The crowd seemed mainly regulars - the wine is that good and the atmosphere is incredibly relaxed. Pet friendly too! We'll be ordering wine to be shipped once the weather breaks & it's not too hot to ship

Great find in AZ. Amazing wine and spirits along with excellent service and and conversation from the staff and regular patrons. David and James shared fun stories, friendly and gave us many local restaurant recommendations. The tastings are generous, flavorful and the vibe of the business is rocking. A must visit and oh buy some wine and spirits and ship home so you can remember your trip.

Such a fun place!!! We enjoyed it thoroughly. Will be back. We got the chocolate peanut butter whiskey and love it.

We visited on a Saturday afternoon and the wines are amazing! The vibe is fun and friendly and they also had the Lobster food truck that was also delicious! Paul and Shannon are so endearing and are very dog friendly! We have a rather large service dog and they always welcome both him and us with warmth and kindness!

Wow! This place was not what we expected at all but so glad we tried it out. Steven Border made the tasting experience memorable and we'll definitely be back on our next trip to Scottsdale. The wines are great. I'm a whiskey guy and there cask strength bourbon was crazy smooth, they also had some unique flavored whiskey if you are into that. We hope to be able to catch them on a night with some live music.

Location; Super cute place in an industrial park site, they have two large areas with lots of seating. On this occasion, we came for their Saturday event that also had a food truck outside with plenty of outside seating. Wine; Did the wine tasting, and got to pick variety of wine that suits your taste buds. Service; All were super friendly, and were quick to check on us and prepare our next tasting when ready. Support small business this is a cute place, and always have events check it out.

Awesome place to enjoy a glass or two house made wine & sip on in house made spirits . I love this place. Highly recommend the Chardonnay & peach infused whiskey

Great place! It's the "Cheers" of a Wine Bar where it appears that everyone seems to know your name. Bring your own snacks and charcuterie board since there is no food. Great wine and tasting and the service is great.
