At just about this time every year, Arizonans are looking for more and more ways to keep cool and find ways to keep entertained indoors–where the air-conditioner is on full blast and cold drinks are at our fingertips. This summer, Phoenix’s Arizona Biltmore Resort is offering a cool way for foodies to savor summertime with its Hollywood & Wine festival. The festival will spotlight a slew of classic foodie flicks, wine tastings and wine dinners.

Every Saturday, starting at 8 p.m., Arizona Biltmore will host a four-course Winemaker Dinner paired with celebrity winemaker vintages and accompanied by a favorite culinary-themed film. The event is $55 per person. The Saturday movies and wineries will be:
