Everything fabulous in Arizona: restaurants, spas, things to do, resorts and more!
Last week, in honor of California Wine Month, we shared a curated list of vino-focused bucket list experiences across the Golden State. Today, we share part two of this deep dive into the wow moments, exploring even more of the epicurean adventures as well as the venues that put viticulture on the map in this country.
Gourmand greatness? Epic eats? Destination dining? Each of these will be top of mind when you think of Flagstaff after a visit to Shift Kitchen & Bar.
Did you know that September is California Wine Month in the United States? In honor of all things red, white and rosé ramping up at our sister state as its nearly 5,000 wineries begin harvest season, we wanted to share some extra-special experiences one can indulge in while in various California wine regions.
The Village of Oak Creek is just south of Sedona, about 90 minutes from the Valley via car. It is often considered “the start” of Sedona when driving in from the Valley because it marks the some of the most picturesque hiking and mountain bike trails in the region.
Jerome is a thriving arts and tourist community with dozens of restored historic buildings, specialty stores, galleries and restaurants. Here are some “musts” when making a weekend trip up.
Essentially halfway between Prescott and Sedona, Cottonwood is a walkable wonderland for adults and the perfect respite from the daily grind, especially for those who love culinary delights, beer and wine tastings and outdoor adventure.
We’ve all earned a break to enjoy a few vices at Viceroy Los Cabos, an ultra-modern, avant-garde San José Del Cabo retreat less than two hours via plane from the Valley (thanks to daily flights on both American and Southwest Airlines as well as several private providers in Scottsdale).
Located on a private peninsula just north of Puerto Vallarta and surrounded by ocean on three sides is the community of Punta Mita, the Beverly Hills of Nayarit. The 1,500-acre enclave, hidden behind a massive gate, is like nothing you’ve seen or experienced before.
In recent weeks, Maricopa County Sherriff’s Office (MSCO) Animal Safe Haven Unit announced the founding of Maricopa Animal Safe Haven (MASH), a 501c3 nonprofit with a mission to provide appropriate medical care for animals, work with the judicial system to determine ownership, and eventually ensure the animals are rehomed. The goal of the nonprofit is to raise the funds required to build a wholly new facility in Phoenix for the animals in the Safe Haven Unit.
Maricopa’s Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino, which is part of Caesars Entertainment and Arizona’s only tribal casino to have an international management partner, completed a multi-million hotel and casino expansion in recent years. Among our favorite parts of the expansion: the addition of Oak & Fork.
