Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

(PHOENIX, Ariz.) – On Saturday, March 25, 2023 from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., the Arizona Wine Growers Association (AWGA) will be hosting the 2nd Annual Arizona Wine Month Grand Festival and Governor’s Cup Celebration at Steele Indian School Park, sponsored by ArizonaWines.com and Dawning Public Relations. The festival – celebrating the proclamation signed by former Governor Doug Ducey in 2022 designating March as Arizona Wine Month – will feature award-winning wines from across the state, along with live music, a variety of food trucks and local artisans. 

“With March officially being Arizona Wine Month, and the Governor’s Cup wine competition being held that month as well, we had to take this opportunity to celebrate this thriving industry, the state’s award-winning wines and the winemakers who make it all possible,” said Kris Pothier, president of the AWGA and owner of Chateau Tumbleweed.

The full list of wineries will be announced soon, and tickets are on sale now at www.azwinegrowersassociation.com.
