Arizona Wine Collective

Always really enjoy getting to sample the wines here! We came for my birthday and got 2 flights, the staff was really great at explaining their selection and helping us pick wines that best fit our palates.

My book club came here on a Sunday afternoon and they had reserved a table for us and had brought our water pitchers and glasses. I also learned they have $6 wine specials, so definitely ask about them when you go. That's what I had and it was a wine I hadn't tried before. It's a great spot for book club because you're able to sit and chat while sipping wine or splitting a bottle with friends. They got our wine right away for us and would periodically check on us without interrupting the book discussion. Our book club will definitely be back!

Went for the first time with my husband as we heard they were hosting a fundraiser for PAWSitively cats, an amazing local organization who helps cats. This is a very cute spot in St. Phillips Plaza, with lots of comfortable seating inside and a very cute outdoor patio. We were immediately greeted by the bartenders who were very friendly and helpful. Their menu is full of Arizona wines from various parts of the State. When I advised of my preferences they made an excellent recommendation, and let me know I could make a donation to the cat rescue with my purchase as well. They also had a special where I could taste 3 premium Arizona wines with vegan friendly hors d'oeuvres for $25, with $13 going to the cats. In addition, 10% of the cost of all full bottles purchased would be donated to PAWSitively cats. I had a glass of Sweet Adeline, a Willcox riesling, which was amazing. Loved the warm, open and friendly environment. They allowed me to try a couple of other wines to make sure I loved the wine. I purchased 4 bottles, and a special bottle, Arizona La Osa, from Callaghan vineyards, a Grenache, aged for 18 months, which was also amazing. They have various events and fundraisers and have classes for people interested in learning more about wine, with the next one taking place on New Years Eve. Love to see when a business supports a great cause, and definitely plan to be back to support this amazing spot.

This is a wonderful little wine shop! Want to taste southern AZ wines but don't feel like driving south of Tucson? This is the place! Many wineries are represented. You can order a flight and taste the wines, purchase full glasses, or grab yourself a big old 750ml bottle (drink there or take home). Friendly Emma (server) knows her wines and has an amazing ability to identify wines by smell. Dave and Michelle (owners) are quite hospitable and warm. We felt so welcomed that we returned the next day for another round, buying plenty of wine bottles to take back home. AZ Wine Collective also offers delicious snacks and munchies to pair with your wine. Good location with a well-decorated interior. What a gem !

Fun place to visit with a great selection of local wines from the area. Very reasonable prices. Super friendly service. Comfortable seating options. Very convenient if you want a flight of wines but don't want to drive down to the wineries.

I love that Arizona Wine Collective is right alongside the river walk. I really enjoy going on walk with a friend and then finishing it off with a glass of wine. They have a nice selection of wines all grown in Arizona. If you don't know what to choose, you can always try a taster of 3 different wines. Plus, the wait staff are happy to help with your selection!

As someone who's been to wineries in California, Virginia, Spain, Italy, Austria, and many more places, I never expected Arizona to have such a burgeoning wine scene! And what's great about Arizona Wine Collective is they pull together several wines produced around the state into one tasting room. In the aforementioned wine regions you can cover dozens of wineries in a fairly short distance, but Arizona is a big ol' state with a lot of wineries quite far from one another. The staff here is so knowledgeable and aware of AZ producers and flavors that they'll help you customize a wine flight that you'll truly enjoy. Two of their featured wineries are Rune and Brigand, and we loved the pours we tasted fromboth. We tried several others too (when in Rome!) and weren't disappointed - they've done a nice job of curating. We really enjoyed the tasting room, the cool items in their shop, and I just can't say enough about their super kind and knowledgeable staff. Please drop by!

I had a wine tasting and a glass of wine. I left to get some food and I had to cash out to do so, even though I offered to leave my debit card behind for the 15 minutes on-foot round trip to the burger place. Unfortunately it seems that when I came back it was the end of Elizabeth's shift (I'm quite sure that was her name) and this older woman dressed in all white took over. I understand you may reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who seems over-served but apparently having a naturally bubbly personality and talking a lot drives that impression. I've been waiting to order a glass of white wine (having tried the reds in the flight) and then I'd be done but she doesn't want to seem to serve me. She'd interrupt and talk about bringing me water and is generally treating me like a young brash drinker, not a 31 year old who makes touring wineries and wine bars in various states and amongst 13 countries her business of pleasure. I know how to handle myself and if I felt I was making a fool of myself, I'd pardon myself. But right now I don't look the fool. It's Arizona. It's dry, especially compared to the Midwest. Of course I'm drinking a ton of water, I'm thirsty - not necessarily drunk and trying to recover. I am definitely done with the dry personalities out here, though the lack of humidity might explain that too.I'm kind of done waiting. I'm sober now and I guess I'll just drive back to my hotel. They serve wine too, local wines even....what a shame. And for the record, just because I don't look as posh as some of your clientele doesn't mean that I don't have more money than them. For them, this is a special night out. And for me, this is just a day of the week. Maybe keep that in mind when dealing with people.I'd like to add that I was there for around 3 hours for my equivalent 2 glasses of wine, it's not like I was off my "rear-end." Maybe you treating customers with some respect instead of using demeaning terms that imply I'm younger than I am when serving me my water while I'm eating would do you well. If I'd known that's how you were going to treat me, I would've just eaten at that other restaurant and not gotten takeout to come eat at your random establishment and drink water. Response: Considering there's at least 6 restaurants within walking distance that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. And yeah, you know what? After 2 glasses a wine. I shouldn't drive especially when I had an eaten since 11 AM and it was now 5 PM. Once I had that Burger and fries. I was fine. I just needed to eat, girl. And I have to question if you would have thought this had I not made the statement about not driving but to be fair, Tucson is a terrible city to drive in anyways so being sober has little to do with it. Not to mention that your colleague who served me in the first place is the one who recommended that I order food AS TAKEOUT so I could continue to drink it this establishment. Had she not recommended that I wouldn't have done that (seriously WHY would I? I'm so confused by this from you). Yeah, no, that's actually not typical to have to cash out to leave an establishment, believe it or not, a lot of places are actually quite trusting. It's fine if you aren't, but don't make that seem like that's a normal thing. Like I get why you wanted it, but it favored me in the end because I didn't have to wait for you to stop ignoring me to leave. I also attempted to order something else multiple times and you kept interrupting me. Get your story straight, especially the part where you quote me saying "I'm sober." It's a wine bar, nobody is sober. That's the point and that's (normally) all people would receive from a wine bar. Lucky me, all I got from you was tap water. My hotel had no problems serving me, so they got the money instead and you got a negative review. Hope it was worth it

We were visiting from Texas for work and saw this place from our hotel so we stopped by to work and drink some wine. Emma and Lauren were SO cute, inviting and knowledgeable. They helped pick our flight and the wine was fantastic! Loved it :)

Hidden gem! Will go back soon! Had a delightful young lady wait on us! She was knowledgeable and fun!
