As temperatures cool across the Valley, Arizona Biltmore is welcoming fall with experiences celebrating the season through food, music, art and tradition. The resort’s calendar includes immersive dining, brewery spotlights, Halloween festivities and family-friendly Thanksgiving and Christmas events.
Food lovers can experience Le Petit Chef & Friends, an immersive dining experience featuring 3D projection mapping that brings a playful cooking competition to life. Joined by culinary companions from Spain, Italy and Japan, Le Petit Chef guides guests through a four-course menu inspired by each destination, with vegetarian and children’s menus also available.
At The Wright Bar, live music provides a soundtrack for cocktails in an intimate setting inspired by Hollywood’s Golden Age. Spire Bar celebrates Oktoberfest with Bavarian-inspired bites, seasonal beers and Saturday brewery spotlights featuring Arizona breweries.
Those looking to explore their creative side can join Create & Canvas: Sunnydays, a Friday afternoon painting experience led by Arizona artist Carrie Curran. The session draws inspo from desert surroundings, with painting supplies and aprons provided.
On October 30, Spire Bar transforms into The Alchemist’s Lounge for the resort’s Halloween Bash. The after-dark celebration features cocktails, desserts, tarot card readings, mysterious elixirs and live DJ entertainment. Guests can also participate in a signature costume contest, which includes multiple categories and prizes.
Thanksgiving festivities begin November 26 with the annual Turkey Trot, a scenic 4K walk or run through the Biltmore Estates. Open to all ages and leashed dogs, the event includes a T-shirt, race bib and refreshments. Proceeds benefit Paws for Youth, which provides animal-assisted therapy programs for Arizona youth.
Guests can continue the holiday with Thanksgiving Brunch, featuring seasonal dishes, traditional holiday favorites and special occasion offerings. Arizona Biltmore will also bring back its holiday tea traditions in December. Teddy Bear Tea, scheduled for December 6 and 20, invites families to enjoy a festive tea service at Renata’s Hearth, the property’s original tearoom. The Nutcracker Tea returns to the historic Grand Ballroom, pairing afternoon tea with a live performance of The Nutcracker and an opportunity to meet the cast.
